00:00Gordon was cross.

00:02Why should Henry have a new shape, he grumbled.

00:05A shape good enough for me is good enough for him.

00:08He goes gallivanting off to crew, leaving us to do his work,

00:12and comes back saying how happy he feels.

00:14It's disgraceful.

00:19And there's another thing. Henry whistles too much.

00:22No respectable engine ever whistles loudly at stations.

00:25It isn't wrong, but we just don't do it.

00:30Poor Henry didn't feel happy anymore.

00:33Never mind, whispered Percy.

00:35I'm glad you're home again. I like your whistling.

00:38Goodbye, Henry, called Gordon.

00:41We're glad to have you with us again, but remember what I said.

00:49Later, Henry stopped at Edward's station.

00:51Hello, Henry, said Edward. You look splendid.

00:55I was pleased to hear your happy whistle yesterday.

00:58Thank you, Edward, smiled Henry.

01:01Shhh, shhh. Can you hear something?

01:04It sounds like Gordon, said Edward.

01:06And it ought to be Gordon.

01:08But Gordon never whistles like that.

01:10It was Gordon.

01:12He came rushing down the hill at a tremendous rate.

01:15He didn't look at Henry, and he didn't look at Edward.

01:17He screamed straight through the station and disappeared.

01:20Well, said Edward.

01:24It isn't wrong, chuckled Henry.

01:26But we just don't do it.

01:28And he told Edward what Gordon had said.

01:30Meanwhile, Gordon screeched along the line.

01:34The noise was awful.

01:41At the station, everyone held their ears.

01:55The fat controller held his ears, too.

01:58Take him away, he bellowed, and stop that noise!

02:04Gordon puffed sadly away.

02:06But he wouldn't stop whistling until two fitters climbed up and knocked his whistle valve in place.

02:12That night, Gordon slunk into the shed.

02:19He was glad it was empty.

02:25It isn't wrong, murmured Henry, to no one in particular.

02:28But we just don't do it.

02:30No one mentioned whistles.

02:34Next morning, Henry was enjoying himself enormously.

02:37I feel so well, I feel so well, he sang.

02:40Trickety-trop, trickety-trop, honked his coaches.

02:45Then he saw some boys on a bridge.

02:47Peep, peep, hello, he whistled.

02:51Oh, he called.

02:53The boys didn't wave and take his number.

02:55They thought it fun to drop stones on him instead.

02:58They've broken our glass, they've broken our glass, sobbed the coaches.

03:03The passengers weren't hurt, but they were across.

03:08Call the police.

03:09No, said the driver.

03:11Leave it to Henry and me.

03:12What will you do, they asked.

03:14Can you keep a secret?

03:16Yes, yes.

03:17Well then, said the driver, Henry is going to sneeze at those boys.

03:22Lots of people were waiting at the station just before the bridge.

03:38They wanted to see what would happen.

03:41Henry has plenty of ashes, said the driver.

03:44Please keep all windows shut till we have passed the bridge.

03:47Henry is as excited as we are, aren't you, old fellow?

03:51Henry was feeling stuffed up.

03:57Soon, they could see the boys, and they all had stones.

04:00Are you ready, Henry, said his driver.

04:03Sneeze hard when I tell you.

04:05Now, he said.

04:07A true shoe.

04:08Well done, Henry, laughed his driver.

04:20Henry went home very pleased with himself.

04:22He had taught Gordon and silly boys a lesson with a whistle and a sneeze.

04:28KYW-

04:33WELL
