Tom was soon back，but without his van.During his illness it had been decided that the van was too expensive to run.Poor Tom was no longer cheerful and now had no time to help load the train."I wish I could cheer him up."said Percy the small engine.

汤姆很快就回来了，但没有开他的货车。在他生病期间，人们认为货车太贵了，无法行驶。可怜的汤姆不再高兴了，现在没有时间帮忙装火车。“我希望我能让他高兴起来。”小火车培西说。

One day a man came from the station office to tell Tom that some papers needed signing."Oh，dear！"he said."anxiously this is going to make me very late."He asked Percy to keep an eye on his bicycle while he was gone.And propped it carefully against the fence near the platform ramp.

一天，一个人从车站办公室来，告诉汤姆一些文件需要签名。“哦，天哪！”他说。“我担心这会让我很晚。”他让培西在离开时照看他的自行车。他小心地把自行车靠在站台坡道附近的围栏上。

He was gone a long time and had not returned when Percy was ready to go.Some boys were playing on the platform and Percy was worried."Sorry，Percy."said his driver."we must be off.Time and the fat controller wait for no man."

他离开了很长时间，培西准备离开时还没有回来。一些男孩在站台上玩，培西很担心。“抱歉，培西。”他的司机说。“我们必须离开。时间和胖总管不等人。”

In the flurry of starting.No one noticed that one of the boys had picked up Tom's bicycle.He pedaled too far along the platform and before he could stop.Ran out of control down the ramp.He reached the bottom just as Percy started away.

在匆忙的起步中。没有人注意到其中一个男孩捡起了汤姆的自行车。他在站台上踩得太远了，还没来得及停下来。他失控地跑下坡道。就在培西起步时，他到达了底部。

Fortunately，the boy fell clear in time.But the bicycle swerved beneath Percy's wheels and disappeared with a con.Percy's driver stopped the train quickly and they extracted the remains.But the red bicycle was beyond repair.

幸运的是，男孩及时挣脱了。但自行车在培西的车轮下突然转向，消失了。培西的司机很快停下了火车，他们提取了遗体。但红色自行车已经无法修理了。

Tom came running.And the driver the stationmaster and the guard all told the boys what bad boys they wear."I'm sorry，Mr. tipper."apologized Percy "Never mind，Percy"Said the postman."it wasn't your fault and I never liked that back much anyway"When the fat controller heard about the accidents.He ordered that Tom should be provided with a new bicycle at once.

汤姆跑了过来。司机、站长和警卫都告诉孩子们他们是什么样的坏男孩。“对不起，蒂珀先生。”培西道歉道。“没关系，培西。”邮递员说。“这不是你的错，无论如何，我从来都不太喜欢这样。”当胖总管听说事故发生时。他命令立即给汤姆提供一辆新自行车。
