    Good Old Episode Starring Thomas and Percy

    I love the friendship between Thomas and Percy. It's very endearing and as as the narrator says, "Thomas and Percy are good friends but sometimes Percy teases Thomas about being frightened and he doesn't like that at all". Percy shouldn't be teasing Thomas as it's somewhat rude to tease your friends when they are obviously annoyed by it. Don't get me wrong, I love Percy and his cheeky characteristic but it can backfire on him. That πŸŒƒ, Percy teases Thomas again but Thomas simply decides to take no notice and go to sleep instead of making snide remarks at Percy. Frankly, I'd enjoy seeing Thomas making snide remarks at Gordon considering that he's very pompous. Here's where it gets interesting, Percy's points are jammed and he's trapped in a siding. Poor Percy, having to spend the πŸŒƒ feeling lonely and afraid. Meanwhile, Thomas collects a paper 🐲 for a carnival. We know that it's the Chinese dragon although it's not mentioned in the episode. You could say that Percy got a taste of his own medicine as he was frightened by the 🐲 that πŸŒƒ. Percy was sound asleep but the 🐲 woke him up frightening him. I saw this episode on Thomas' Halloween Adventures and I think this episode is better than Percy's Ghostly Trick. I love the ending of this episode as Thomas and Percy mutually understand each other after Percy told Thomas how he truly felt the previous πŸŒƒ. Overall, this is a fantastic episode starring my two favorite tank engines Thomas and Percy.

    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Narrator: Thomas and Percy are good friends, but sometimes Percy teases Thomas about being frightened and he doesn't like that at all. One evening, Thomas was dozing happily in the shed, but Percy wanted to talk.

      Percy: Wake up, Thomas. Are you dreaming about the time you thought I was a ghost?

      Thomas: Certainly not. Anyway, I was only pretending to be scared. I knew it was you, really.

      Narrator: Percy went on teasing him.

      Percy: I hope the guard leaves the light on for you tonight.

      Thomas: Why? I quite like the dark.

      Percy: Oh, really? I am surprised. I always thought you were afraid of the dark. I wonder why.

      Narrator: Thomas decided to say nothing and went to sleep instead.
