-When I was a little boy, -about your age I'd say... | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
-..or maybe a little older... | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
-..I enjoyed staying -with Mam-gu and Tad-cu. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
-They were special people. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
-Mam-gu was kind -and would always cwtsh me. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
-She always smelled -like sweet apples. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
-No-one could make rice pudding -like Mam-gu. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
-Or make a bed feel so comfortable. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-My bed in Mam-gu's house was larger -than the one I had at home. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
-Smooth and welcoming. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
-Soft blankets -and thick feather-filled cushions | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
-She would read me stories -and sing special lullabies... | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
-..before I sailed away -to the land of dreams. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
-And that was always -a good night's sleep. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
-And Tad-cu? | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
-Tad-cu was my best friend. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
-He was funny and mischievous. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-He had the greatest laugh -you could imagine. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
-If Tad-cu laughed, -the whole world laughed with him. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
-But the best thing about Mam-gu -and Tad-cu's home was in the garden. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
-That's where I'd spend all my time, -Tad-cu and me. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
-Tad-cu loved trains. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
-And so, he built the most magical -and incredible railway you ever saw. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:39 | |
-His little engines and carriages -would be the centre of attention. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
-He would polish them -and look after them... | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
-..and they would run happily -on the railway all day long. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
-The journey would begin -in the kitchen train station... | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
-..and I was the station manager. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
-When Tad-cu was ready, I would shout -"all aboard for Tad-cu's garden". | 0:03:22 | 0:03:28 | |
-I would blow my whistle -and Tad-cu would fire up the engine. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:33 | |
-Off went the train with puffs -of smoke rising from its chimney. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
-The train would leave -the kitchen station... | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
-..and chuff-chuff past flower valley -and Mam-gu's little paradise... | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
-..a corner of the garden where she'd -planted primroses and pansies... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:58 | |
-..between pieces of slate -and little stones. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
-Tad-cu had built a tunnel -in Mam-gu's little paradise... | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
-..and when the train came out -the other side... | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
-..it would continue its journey -around the lawn. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
-More often than not, Wini, -Mam-gu and Tad-cu's old cat... | 0:04:16 | 0:04:21 | |
-..would slouch across the track -at this point. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
-As soon as she heard -the train approaching... | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
-..with a loud choo-choo... | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
-..she would dart into the hedge -and hide... | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-..until the train -had disappeared from sight. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-On went the journey -to the bottom of the garden... | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
-..behind the shed, -towards the compost heap... | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-..before heading for home -past the hedge, the rosebush... | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
-..and Norman and Kevin, -the two garden gnomes. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
-It would eventually arrive -at the kitchen window. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
-The train would be out of steam -by then, but proud of itself. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:07 | |
-"Kitchen station, last stop," -Tad-cu would announce. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-I would wave my red banner before -entering the station office... | 0:05:13 | 0:05:18 | |
-..in the kitchen for a glass of -milk and a slice of buttery toast... | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
-..made by the cafe mistress, Mam-gu. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-Then we'd go back -and do it all again. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
-We'd continue like this -until tea-time. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
-During the evening, -Tad-cu would work on the carriages. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
-He'd fix them and clean them -until they shone brightly. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
-"You look after that train better -than you look after yourself,"... | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
-..Mam-gu would whisper -with a sly smile. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
-"Look after your things and one day, -they'll thank you for it,"... | 0:06:06 | 0:06:13 | |
-..Tad-cu would say every time. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-One stormy autumn day, Tad-cu was -busy at the bottom of the garden... | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
-..clearing the brown, -orange and yellow leaves... | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
-..which had fallen -from the nearby trees. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
-He would use a rake -to gather up the leaves. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
-He'd load them into a wheelbarrow -and pour them on the compost heap. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
-But he left his rake -on the ground... | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
-..as he moved the leaves from -the wheelbarrow to the compost heap. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:47 | |
-The next thing he knew, -he was flat on the ground. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-He'd tripped over the rake, -landed awkwardly and hurt his foot. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:57 | |
-He couldn't move. -He started to shout for help. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
-Mam-gu was listening to the radio -in the kitchen... | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
-..so she couldn't hear or see him. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
-He was behind the shed, -out of sight. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-What on earth was he going to do? | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
-Just then, he heard -a "choo-choo" approaching. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
-As the train neared -the back of the shed... | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
-..it slowed down -and stopped next to Tad-cu. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
-"Thank goodness you're here," -said Tad-cu. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
-"I'm so glad to see you. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-"Take this to Mam-gu." | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
-He took off his flat cap -and placed it on the front carriage. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:51 | |
-"OK," he said, "All aboard." -The train continued its journey. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:56 | |
-Tad-cu could see it carrying -the cap past Mam-gu's bench. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
-"On you go, little train," -said Tad-cu. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
-There were leaves on the track -by the rosebush... | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
-..but the train -battled bravely over them. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-"Oh, no," groaned Tad-cu. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
-Norman the gnome had fallen over -in the wind... | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
-..and he was lying across the track. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
-"That's the end of it now. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
-"The train will hit Norman and -they'll both be smashed to pieces." | 0:08:39 | 0:08:45 | |
-But the little train -slowed right down... | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
-..and as it approached Norman, -it started to shunt him slowly. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:57 | |
-It used all its strength -to move the gnome inch by inch... | 0:08:57 | 0:09:03 | |
-..a little at a time... | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
-..slowly and patiently. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
-"Well done, my dear friend," -said Tad-cu. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
-"Steady on now." | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
-Mam-gu was washing the dishes. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
-She raised her head -as the train approached her. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
-She was wondering what was lying -across the front carriage. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
-A rabbit? | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
-A bird? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
-The train stopped -outside the kitchen window. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
-Mam-gu recognised the shape -immediately. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
-"It's Tad-cu's flat cap! How on -earth...? What's it doing...? | 0:09:57 | 0:10:03 | |
-"Oh, no, something's happened. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:06 | |
-"Bill? Bill?" she shouted. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
-"Over here, Megan," he shouted. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:19 | |
-The poor dab was in a lot of pain. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
-Mam-gu went to help him. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
-She phoned the ambulance -and it arrived promptly. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
-Tad-cu was taken to the hospital. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
-They looked after him -until he was better. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
-Soon, he was back on his feet -and feeling much better. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
-When I'd go on my holidays... | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
-..Mam-gu would tell me that story -before I went to sleep. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
-I loved it. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:53 | |
-The story about how -the little train rescued Tad-cu... | 0:10:53 | 0:10:57 | |
-..and how Tad-cu would remind us... | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
-.."Look after your things and -one day, they'll thank you for it." | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
