当白天来临时，一切都很明显，那辆旧货车上本应装着尾灯的灯已经坏了。灯在山脚下掉到了山丘下。“不是你的错，达克。”胖总管说。“那个灯应该检查一下。别担心，我们很快就会把你的烟囱和前部拉直。”“谢谢你，先生。”达克伤心地说。“托马斯曾经告诉我要小心鱼，他是对的，先生。不是吗？”

《三机重连》

Gordon was resting in a siding，it was a hot day and the express had been heavy."I get so out of breath."He complained."But nobody cares，they just say I'll be all right after a rest.""Get the fast controllers to give you tanks on a bunker."Suggested Thomas cheekily."You feel a new engine，we tank engines never get out of breath you know."Perhaps it was lucky for Thomas that poor Gordon hadn't the energy to reply.

高登在一条侧线上休息，天气很热并且特快车很重。“我上气不接下气。”他抱怨道。“但没人在乎，他们只是说我休息后会没事的。”“让胖总管在给你税收吧。”托马斯厚着脸皮地建议道。“你会感觉到一台新火车，我们的水柜机车永远不会上气不接下气。”也许托马斯很幸运，可怜的高登没有精力回答。

The men worked hard on Gordon，but they couldn't make him better."You need new tubes，Gordon."They said."You have to go to the works to have them fitted."While Gordon was being mended Henry pulled the express

人们对高登很努力，但他们无法让他变得更好。“高登，你需要新管子。”他们说。“你必须去工厂把它们装好。”当高登正在修理时，亨利拉上了特快车。

.But one morning just before Gordon was due back，Henry was ill too."We've no spare engine except Thomas."The inspector told the fat controller."But he can't pull the train on his own.""Could Percy help？"Ask the fat controller.The inspector shook his head."The 2 of them with duck might manage."He suggested."It's only as far as the works，they sure to have a spare engine there."

但有一天早上，就在高登回来之前，亨利也病了。“除了托马斯，我们没有备用火车头。”检查员告诉胖总管。“但他不能自己拉火车。”“培西能帮忙吗？”胖总管问。检查员摇了摇头。“他们两个带达克的可能会成功。”他建议道。“只到工厂为止，他们肯定还有一个备用火车。”

So the 3 tank engines were coupled together.Thomas nearest the train，Duck in the middle and Percy at the front.Then，slowly they started."Come on！Come on！"First Percy importantly."We're doing it！We're doing it！"Puff Duck."Pull harder！Pull harder！"Grumbled Thomas to the others.

于是三辆水柜机车连在一起。托马斯离列车最近，达克在中间，培西在前面。然后，他们慢慢地出发了。“加油！加油！”培西第一个说。“我们在做！我们在做！”达克喷气。“使劲拉！使劲拉！”托马斯对其他火车说。
