Numberjacks Get’s a Special Funnel for Peter Sam/Transcript

Michael Angelis: It was winter on the Island of Sodor. Peter Sam puffed nervously along the line. His funnel had never been the same since his accident with some trucks. Now the biting wind was trying to blow it away.

Peter Sam: My funnel feels wobbly.

Michael Angelis: He complained.

Peter Sam: I wish manager would hurry up with my new one. He says it would be something special.

Engines: You and your special funnel.

Michael Angelis: Laughed the other engines. The were fun to Peter Sam, but his special funnel had become quite a joke.

Michael Angelis: Soon, he approached the tunnel. It was short and curved so his driver could not see right through it. Peter Sam was heading for trouble.

Michael Angelis: Peter Sam came out of the tunnel a different looking engine. He no longer had his funnel.

 Zero:  No funnel.

Guard: Here's what hit you, Peter Sam.

Michael Angelis: Called the guard and he produced a think cold icicle. They set off again. But without his funnel, the journey was very difficult. Then the fireman saw an old drain pipe lying beside the track.

Fireman: We'll use that instead of your funnel. At least it'll help control the smoke.

Michael Angelis: Peter Sam finished his journey with the drain pipe wired to his boiler. The other engines laughed and Sir Handel sang a song about.

Sir Handel: (Singing) Peter Sam said again and again, his new funnel will put ours to shame, went into a tunnel and lost his old funnel now his famous new funnel's a drain.

Michael Angelis: The teasing continue until at last the day came when his new funnel arrived. The Fat Controller proudly presented it.

 Nine:  Sir? What sort of funnel is it?

Peter Sam: Oh dear.

Michael Angelis: Exclaimed Peter Sam.

Peter Sam: Someone squashed it.

Michael Angelis: The Fat Controller laughed.

The Fat Controller: Don't worry, Peter Sam, this funnel is something special indeed. You'll soon see.

Michael Angelis: Peter Sam's new funnel had special pipes which made puffing much easier.

Peter Sam: I feel stronger than ever before.

Michael Angelis: He hummed. Even Sir Handel was impressed.

Sir Handel: I can't understand it. Peter Sam just seems to stroll along the line. He makes work look so easy.

Michael Angelis: The engines don't laugh at Peter Sam's funnel now. They wished they had one like it.
