- [Toby approaches the old wooden bridge where the river beneath it has risen very high. Percy is waiting for him on the other side]
- Toby's Driver: The dam's breaking up! We must find high ground!
- Percy: Your only chance is to cross the bridge!
- Toby: [noticing the rough waters and the old bridge] It doesn't look safe to me!
- Toby's Driver: It's our only chance. If the dam breaks, we'll be done for!
- [Toby slowly advances onto the bridge to get across]
- Narrator: Toby was halfway across the bridge when disaster struck!
- [the dam finally breaks, erupting a large torrent of water, which causes the bridge Toby is on to break and float away on the water]
- Toby: HELP!
- [Percy watches in horror as Toby is swept down the river]
- Percy's Driver: We'll follow him on our line. It meets the river further down.
- [Percy races after Toby by rail]
- [last lines]
- Narrator: When the floods were over and the dam mended, the villagers had a big party for Toby. Hosted by Sir Topham Hatt.
- Sir Topham Hatt: You were very brave, Toby.
- Toby: Thanks to Harold.
- Percy: I could never have been so brave, Toby.
- Toby: Oh, I'm sure you would be, but you never know until you've tried.
- Narrator: Percy rather hoped he'd never have to.
