- August 14, 2006
Percy and the Dragon is the thirty-first episode of the first season of the children's animated television show Thomas and Friends. The episode follows the adventures of a group of locomotives on the Island of Sodor and their interactions with one another and the people and animals they encounter.
In this particular episode, Percy, a small green locomotive, becomes convinced that he has seen a dragon on the island. Initially, the other engines, including Thomas and Edward, are skeptical of Percy's claims, but Percy insists that he saw the dragon breathing fire.
As Percy tells the other engines about his encounter with the dragon, the other engines begin to speculate about what the creature could be. They come up with various ideas, including that it could be a steam engine with a faulty boiler or a firework that got loose. However, as Percy persists in his story, the other engines start to wonder if there really is a dragon on the island.
One day, Percy is hauling some trucks when he sees the dragon again. This time, the dragon is blocking the line, preventing Percy from continuing on his journey. Percy tries to sound his whistle to scare the dragon away, but the dragon doesn't budge. Percy then tries to go around the dragon, but it chases him down the line.
Percy is eventually able to escape from the dragon and make it back to the station, where he tells the other engines what happened. The engines come up with a plan to scare the dragon away by using a special train car to create the illusion of a fire-breathing dragon.
The plan works, and the dragon is scared away. Percy is relieved that he doesn't have to deal with the dragon anymore and is happy that he was able to solve the mystery. The episode ends with the engines reflecting on their adventure and looking forward to their next journey.
Overall, Percy and the Dragon is an exciting and imaginative episode of Thomas and Friends that will delight young children. With its colorful animations and lovable characters, the show teaches valuable lessons about teamwork, problem-solving, and the importance of believing in oneself.
