The Five Wheeled Tank Engine

Three was playing with her buddy blocks. 

Three: Buddy Blocks! Look at you now! You are a train...Choo Choo!! 

The buddy blocks hop and move in one straight line. Five arrives with her buddy blocks.

Five: Hello Three! 

Three: Hello Five! 

Five: What's up? 

Three: My buddy blocks are a train! See, they are moving in one line and following one after the other! 

Five: That's brilliant, Three!! I hope my buddy blocks could do it too. Come on buddy blocks. Be a train! 

Five's buddy blocks hopped and lined up in a straight line following each other.

Five: They are a train too!

Three: Yeah! Maybe They can be one train together. 

One arrives with her buddy block.

Three: Hello One! We are playing trains with our buddy blocks, do you want yours to join? We are going to make a long train! 

One nods.

Three and Five lined One's block between two of Five's blocks and then later the pattern goes Five's then Three's and so on.

Three: Wow!! Our buddy blocks formed a real train!! 

Five: Yes Three, they did. 

The alarm goes.

Five: We need to go now, Three. One, see you later!

Three: Bye One! 

They arrive to the Control Room. An agent rings in.

Agent Eleven: Hello it's me, Agent Eleven. Things are going wrong. 

Three: But, not for long. 

Six: What's the problem, Agent Eleven? 

Agent Eleven: It is the train station. There is a train that could not move as it has lost one wheel. Can somebody come over and fix it? 

Six: Will certainly do! 

Agent Eleven: Thank you! 

Four: So who's going? 

Three: Me! Me! Me! 

Five: Three, I think you should stay and find out who's causing it. You are good at it! 

Three: Awww...(sadly) 

Six: Then I guess it will be me. 

Four: To the launcher, Six! 

Six heads to the launcher and the launcher song plays. 

Four: Checking the room....Don't mind us Jasper. Off you go! 

Three, Four and Five: Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Zero! 

Six flies and finally arrived at the train station.

Six: Whew! That was fun! Now, I have to look for the train that's lost its wheel.

Six was searching all around the train station for the train. 

Agent Forty Seven: Agent Forty Seven here, it's the short train with a short stump and it's all blue. It keeps falling over. 

Five: Thanks Agent Forty Seven. Six, can you see a train with a short stump and all blue.
