00:00Do you know what? asked Percy.

00:08What? grunted Gordon.

00:10Do you know what?

00:13Silly, said Gordon.

00:15Of course I don't know what, if you don't tell me what what is.

00:19The Fat Controller says that the work in the yard is too heavy for me.

00:24He's getting a bigger engine to help me.

00:26Rubbish, said James.

00:28Any engine could do it.

00:30If you worked more and chatted less, this yard would be a sweeter, a better and a happier place.

00:37Percy went off to fetch some coaches.

00:41That stupid old signal, he thought.

00:44He was remembering the time he misunderstood a signal and gone backwards instead of forwards.

00:50No one listens to me now.

00:52They think I'm a silly little engine and order me about.

00:56I'll show them.

00:58I'll show them.

00:59He didn't know how.

01:03By the end of the afternoon, he felt tired and unhappled.

01:07He brought some coaches to the station.

01:11Hello, Percy, said the Fat Controller.

01:14You look tired.

01:16Yes, sir, I am, sir.

01:18I don't know if I'm standing on my dome or my wheels.

01:21You look the right way up to me, laughed the Fat Controller.

01:25Cheer up.

01:26The new engine is bigger than you and can probably do the work alone.

01:31Would you like to help build my new harbour?

01:33Thomas and Toby will help.

01:35Oh, yes, sir.

01:36Thank you, sir.

01:40The new engine arrived.

01:45What's your name?

01:46Asked the Fat Controller.

01:48Montague, sir.

01:49But I'm usually called Duck.

01:51They say I waddle.

01:53I don't really, sir.

01:54But I like Duck better than Montague.

01:57Good.

01:58Duck it shall be.

01:59Here, Percy, show Duck round.

02:05Two engines went off together.

02:07Soon they were very busy.

02:10James, Gordon and Henry watched Duck quietly do his work.

02:16He seems a simple sort of engine.

02:19We'll have some fun and order him about.

02:26Whee!

02:27Smoke billowed everywhere.

02:36Percy was cross.

02:38Duck took no notice.

02:39They'll get tired of it soon.

02:42Do they tell you to do things, Percy?

02:44Yes, they do, answered Percy.

02:46Right, said Duck.

02:48We'll soon stop that nonsense.

02:50He whispered something.

02:52We'll do it later.

02:53The Fat Controller was looking forward to hot-buttered toast for tea at home.

03:01Suddenly, he heard an extraordinary noise.

03:03Weesh!

03:11Bother, he said, and hurried to the yard.

03:16Duck and Percy calmly sat on the points outside the shed, refusing to let the engines in.

03:23Gordon, James and Henry were furious.

03:25Stop that noise, bellowed the fat controller.

03:32They won't let us in, hissed Gordon.

03:35Duck, explain this behavior.

03:37Beg pardon, sir, but I'm a great western engine.

03:41We do our work without fuss, but begging your pardon, sir,

03:46Percy and I would be glad if you would inform these are engines that we only take orders from you.

03:55Silence! snapped the fat controller.

03:59Percy and Duck, I am pleased with your work today, but not with your behavior tonight.

04:04You have caused a disturbance.

04:06Gordon, Henry and James sniggled.

04:09As for you, thundered the fat controller, you've been worse.

04:13You made the disturbance.

04:15Duck is quite right.

04:17This is my railway and I give the orders.

04:20After Percy went away, Duck was left to manage alone.

04:24He did so easily.
