Oh wow, a rabbit. Who is it? It's yours? It's Billy's. I guess it's his trap. I helped him place it behind the

station

. I don't know what he's going to do with her. Knowing Billy well, he will probably let him go and give the rabbit freedom.

It's a good day for freedom. Hello, Mr. Director, hello children, happy 4th of July, or have you been this driver? I've been in New York visiting a friend, a beautiful one. French friend, really from France, what is her name? Mr. Director, the Statue of Liberty, of course, I visit every Fourth of July to keep you company. She feels alone up there in the middle of the harbor. He is not French. She is so. The French gave it to America, we learned it in school, remember we did it, oh yeah, now I remember saying cheese, why do you do things like that?

I mean, you scared the poor bunny, yeah, hey, don't you want to see your picture? 25 cents for one two for a dollar boy, look at those faces, they look like four scared rabbits, hey, what's that?, oh, strange dust to the bright Weather Station, the vegetables from my garden, hey, you're quite a little nephew Hungry, aren't you? I don't believe it. My little nephew would be very happy as a pet. I'll take him to the forest and let him go. Why do you call him nephew? So the people known as Winnebago believe that we humans are our aunts and uncles. this particular little animal and they have in their stories that they believe that this little guy is a very important spirit animal and is a very brave hero and a smart little Trickster.

They even have a story about why his tail is so short, you want to hear it. Yes, a long time ago there was a hair living in the forest, now a hair is a very big rabbit and it came across this path and decided Well, I want to capture whatever or whoever makes this path, so it did. he made himself a trap and he made it out of thistle and somehow it worked, he caught something, but whatever it was, it escaped, it wasn't strong enough, so he made another trap and he made it out of bark and rope, same thing still not She was strong enough, so she went to her grandmother and said: Grandma, can I have one of your braids?

I want to have something to make a roll, make a trap stronger and sure enough it worked, you know what caught the sun, well you can. He doesn't stay with the Sun, so he approached the Trap and let go of the sun. We got so close but he ruled the hair on his tail and that's why to this day this little nephew of mine cuts his tail and you let the sun go free from me. little nephew and I'm going to let you go free, yeah, what's the plague of my life? Okay, sure, very good, girl, Saint Nicholas, it's gold, so a lot of wheels there and if there was a little pilot there, that means. there's a big pile of it around here somewhere exactly that's what you and I are going to do tonight when everyone else is listening to those speeches and stuff in the park you and I are going to come here, change this place backwards and find that and you and I will be rich calm down don't tell anyone come on, come on, come on, we'll be right back chug chug chugging intact foreigner don't work in the dark Stacy, you'll tire your eyes oh, thank you, oh, hello, sir Director, when did it get so dark outside when the rain clouds came? oh no, I hope it doesn't rain on the fireworks Dan, tell me what happened to the rabbit.

Billy took him somewhere in the woods and let him go. good on Billy, we had an escape not long ago on the island of Sodor, you mean someone actually escaped from the island to Sodor, not escaped from diesel territory. I'll tell you the story. The foreigner was talking to Trevor when Douglas passed by, he was pulling a train command of heavy coal cars he would stop gossiping in the sun when there is work to do later Edward spoke to Douglas Trevor and I are old friends and you and he we also have a lot in common we do a quiz about Douglas and what would that be? scrap metal Edward said quietly Douglas gasped definition that word makes my wheels wobble it does the same to Trevor Edward replied that he was being sent to the scrapyard but the vicar and I saved him and now he's really useful again, still Sir Topham Hatt certainly does.

He needs another steam engine here, he does and quickly that night Douglas was still working, he had taken the midnight goods train to a

station

in a distant part of the island where only diesels run. Trip when that sounds like a steam engine, he thought The whistle came back, ask Douglas. A whisper was heard. He used to use the Topham Hatt engine. I'm proud of him. Well, I'm Oliver and I'm with my brake fan in tow. We're out of coal and we have no more steam than you. I'm Escaping Junk Douglas shuddered and then remembered Edward's story about saving Trevor.

He would be happy to help you. They'll have to look at them if you're ready to scrap and I'll take you. They are drivers and firefighters. They agreed to help too they all worked fast, there was no time to turn around, I'll run fast, come on, but before they could clear the station they were stopped, aha, they called a foreman, a big western engine and a brake van too, no You can take these, hey. but they are all for us said Douglas's driver, see for yourself the foreman looked at Oliver he seems to be in order immediately guard there was something that almost happened to us worse answered Oliver and they continued on it was daylight when he finished his trip we're already home , oh, Douglas cried, he said his driver is under construction, we'll find a place for Oliver Oliver said goodbye and thank you and Douglas snorted the next day Douglas told the other engines all about Oliver Sir Topham Hatt will have to know said James Douglas should "Tell him right away," added Gordon, "Well, here it is," said a voice, "what's this all about?" Pardon me, sir, but we need another engine, yes, sir, ventured Gordon, a steam engine, sir, well, unless one saves oneself from scrap, there is little hope, but sir.

Yes, indeed, and thanks to you, Douglas, it is now in our factory. Oliver is just what we need for the Duck branch. Everyone applauded now. Oliver and the totem pole were repaired and painted in the colors of the Great West. The duck and Oliver are happy on their branch. The others laughed. at first and I called him the little western duck and Oliver were delighted and that's why the little western will always be. How close Oliver was! It was really a scary story, Mr. Director, especially with all that lightning outside, come on all those who don't.

I want to miss the fireworks and don't forget your speech Stacy, don't worry about the storm. Umbrella suit. I wonder what they're up to, you little schemer. A bit fast. I found some gold. Oh, I've lost my magic dust. Now I can't disappear, this is serious, but down there I sucked it in. Did you hear that doesn't sound like baby steps or anything? I'm telling you that there is someone or something here trying to get our gold and us. We'll see, come on, now, where are you? What do you want? Man or a mouse, hopefully a mouse, come on, come on, I know you're here somewhere, where the hell are you?

Ah, there you are, where are you? Come on, come on. Where are you making my rocket? What was that? It sounded worse and Rex's old truck backfired yes, it was a nickel's worth of fireworks and that was our signal Didi hit it oh a q a one two three I wish I was in Cotton Land with no time there and I forgot to look away look away look away at one Frosty one look away look away look away Dixieland I wish I was in Dixie hooray hooray at Disneyland I'll take my posts one way south of Dixie foreign emergencies I'm rich I mean, we're Rich, Uncle Scheme, where are you?

I've got you now, you little rocket thief, and I know you're not a man, I know you're a mouse, so why don't you come out with your paws up? eh, doing uncle skimmer ah well, I'm just out of the ghosts, that's the thing about Freedom, you don't realize it's there until it's gone. I must remember to take better care of him, Miss Jones, he was wonderful, just wonderful, he moved and played. and so on no, no, it really was and it really was and if he hadn't started raining on all that crowd they would all have stayed and enjoyed it.

Great idea, half invisible scares me, so yeah, nothing but the rain comes and washes away the nonsense of invisibility, well you two all dressed up, oh well these were our work clothes and why are you guys having fun and I was at the station working, they're not working on what, uh, capturing wild animals, you know. There are live wild animals at the station, that should be pretty uncoincidental, well, Stacy, how are you going to finish your 4th of July speech? Yeah, well, I was thinking about Abraham Lincoln this morning and he told me something that sums up Independence Day well.

He said that we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men, and of course that means all women too, were created equal and were endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights which among them are life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness, yes, us. There can't be a 4th of July without fireworks, today is a space summer with delicious food, exciting activities and summer fun. Space goofs today at 2
