Percy and the Magic Carpet

"Do you know a magic word?" "You mean like 'please'?"

- Salty and Percy

Percy and the Magic Carpet is an eighth season episode.

Plot
Gordon and James are jealous when Percy is chosen to take a special to a flower show one windy day. Percy isn't impressed either when he finds the special is only a carpet, but Salty tells him that it could be a magic carpet and, true to his word, as Percy leaves Brendam the carpet mysteriously unravels. The carpet turns out to be rather troublesome, as it floats onto Murdoch's wellwagon, then onto Toby's cab and finally onto the rails in front of Thomas. Percy says the right magic word in time ("please") and the carpet coincidentally floats back onto Percy's truck. The Fat Controller later tells Gordon and Percy that there's no such thing as a magic carpet, but the two aren't so sure. ..
