Thomas wasn't used to working in the yard on his own. It was very busy all day long.

[The classic theme plays in the background as the day passes by and the yard is busy with Thomas and Eagle working their best to keep everything in order. As the sun sets, James arrive with Annie and Clarabel]

JAMES: Here's James!

ANNIE: Oh, James! Careful!

THOMAS: Do you smell something smoky, James? Like a burning smell?

JAMES: No.

EAGLE: I've smell it too, Thomas. (To his brother) Are you sure it's not coming from you?

JAMES: Not really. Nothing out of the ordinary. (puffs away and groans)

EAGLE: Well, I couldn't help but notice James' wooden brake blocks. They were smoking. I'd better keep an eye on him just in case anything bad happens. Wood can catch fire easily.

THOMAS: Alright, thanks Eagle.

[The scene changes to Henry taking on water when he saw Thomas and Eagle]

HENRY: Hello, Thomas. Hello, Eagle.

THOMAS: Hello, Henry.

[Then they saw the water tower and remembers]

THOMAS: Um, Henry, can we ask you something? Do you really hide in a tunnel because of some rain?

HENRY: Yes, Thomas, I did.

EAGLE: Henry, rain is just water. Same that goes in your boiler. So how could you be afraid of it?

HENRY: I don't know, Eagle. I can't explain it. I just am and I don't like being teased about it.

THOMAS: But we're not teasing, Henry. We're just asking. I mean, you can't stop the rain.

EAGLE: That's true. Besides, it's harmless. And you don't need to worry all the time.

HENRY: Oh, I don't worry all the time, Eagle. (whistles) I hardly worry at all when it's sunny.

[He leaves]

THOMAS: Huh? (yawns)

EAGLE: Guess we better get some sleep then.
