Plot
One morning, Percy was in a rush and took on water much too fast and develops hiccups. The passengers didn't like being jolted around by Percy's hiccups and the Fat Controller ordered Percy to get rid of the horrible hiccups immediately.

Henry said he knew a cure and told Percy to hold his steam, but it doesn't work. Then, Emily rolls in with an idea. She had heard that taking on ice-cold water does the trick. Percy tries it, but it doesn't work. Soon, the Fat Controller lost patience with poor Percy and orders him to leave the station and he is not to return until the horrible hiccups had stopped.

Out in the countryside, Bertie drover past Percy. As he did so, the bus' tyre burst with an almighty 'BANG'! The sudden loud noise made Percy jump! His hiccups were cured and Percy headed back to work.
