 * 1) Percy's Chocolate Crunch - Percy is often given the dirtiest work to do. There is a water shortage and the engines are restricted to fewer washdowns. The trucks play tricks on Percy and he gets covered in coal. Then on a job to the chocolate factory he skids and disappears through the chocolate factory. As he comes out of the other end he is covered in chocolate, but because he shows that usefulness comes before cleanliness, the Fat Controller rewards him with a washdown and a new paint job.
