Thomas & Friends - Henry & The Wishing Tree

Herry and the wishing tree

Herry & the wishing tree

It was summertime on the island of sodor.

Gorden pulled the passengers express.

It was very busy.

But Gordon loved the hustle and bustle.

Herry hauled trucks in the forest.

He loved the peace and quiet.

But he didn’t see many people.

Sometimes working in the forest could be very lonely.

Later Herry pulled into Knapford station.

He was delighted to see all the passengers.

But Gordon was not delighted to see Herry.

“Keep your smelly freight away from my passengers,” grumbled Gorden.

“ But it’s only logs,” Chuffed Herry.

“Passengers and freight do not mix,” huffed Gorden, and he wheeshed away.

Herry watched the express leave the station.

“ I ‘d like to pull passengers,” sighed Henry, “ just for a change.”

Henry stopped at the water tank on the forest's edge.

Children were standing by one of the trees.

" What are those children doing ? " Henry asked Thomas.

"That 's the old Sodor wishing tree," Said Thomas.

"They must be making a wish."

" A wishing tree !" gasped Henry. " How wonderful ! "

" Do you think it would may my wish come true ! " asked Henry.

" It might, " Said Thomas, and he puffed away.

Henry rolled up to the wishing Tree.

He took a deep breath and wished as hard as he could.

"I wish I could pull the Express instead of Gordon, " he said.

That evening the Fat Controller come to see Henry.

"Tomorrow, you will pull the Express, " he said.

"Thank you, Sir," said henry happily.

His wish had come true.

The next morning Henry chuffed cheerfully into Knapford station.

Henry blew his whistle and pulled out of the station.

But Henry puffed too quickly.

"Go gently, " called his driver.

" You can bump freight, but you can't bump passengers."

" Sorry, " Puffed Henry.

Henry puffed proudly through the countryside.

" Pulling passengers is a grand job," he said.

Gordon was in the repair yard.

He was being fitted with a new boiler.

But Gordon felt lonely. He was missing his passengers.

The passengers were missing Gordon too.

They were having the bounciest, bumpiest ride they had ever had.

When Henry got back to the shed, the Fat Controller was waiting for him.

" There have been complaints, " he said, "Passengers are not like logs. You must be gentle. "

" Yes, Sir, " said Henry sadly.

Being gentle was very difficult.

Then Henry saw Gordon. He was looking miserable.

" My wish has made Gordon go to the repair yard, " gasped Henry.

This made Henry very bad.

The next day Henry had to collect the buffet car.

he tried his best to be gentle.

But he shunted the buffet car so hard.

Everything flew into the air.

There were more complaints than ever.

Henry didn't want to pull passengers anymore.

he wanted to wish everything back to normal.

But when he arrived at the forest, Henry couldn't remember which tree was the wishing tree.

" Oh, no ! " cried Henry. " Which one could it be ? "

Henry didn't know.

So he decided to wish on all the trees.

" I wish I could pull freight again, " he puffed.

Then he moved to the next tree.

And he wished again.

" I wish I could pull freight again. "

The Fat controller arrived on board .

"What are you doing , Henry ?" he asked.

" you are causing confusion and delay."

Henry told him all about the wishing tree.

" Trees don't run railways, " said the Fat Controller, " That is my job."

" Gordon just needed some repairs."

" He will be back tomorrow."

Henry was delighted.

The next day Gordon came back to work.

He looked as good as new.

The passengers were so pleased to see him.

They cheered and cheered and cheered !

Gordon beamed happily for the rest of the day.

Henry was happy to be back in the peace and quiet of the forest.

At the end of the day he stopped near the wishing tree.

Even though the fat controller said trees don't run railways, Henry wished he would never have to pull passengers ever again, just in case.
