00:00Percy puffed grumpily into the yards. He was feeling put-upon and said so.
00:05I feel put-upon, he complained to Thomas. Thomas was confused. Put-upon what? The
00:12rails? No, put-upon with too much work. Driver says he is too. Put-upon? What a
00:18silly saying, replied Thomas. But Annie and Clarabel liked it and when Thomas
00:23took them away they sang about it. Percy's been put-upon, put-upon, put-upon.
00:27Percy's been put-upon, poor old Percy. Percy is being put-upon. I am, I am, I am.
00:37He collected metal from the foundry, coal from the yards, flour from the mills, rock
00:51from the quarries and fuel from the depot. Then he delivered it all to the
00:59docks.
01:05Next he collected some empty trucks. Who's this dirty little engine, cried the
01:11trucks. We want Thomas or duck. Percy ignored them. Put-upon, put-upon, that's
01:16what I am. That night all the engines laughed at him. We can see what's been
01:27put-upon you, said Thomas. Silence! Percy, you've done a good day's work. Now get a
01:34good night's rest, said the Fat Controller. Yes sir, thank you sir. Next
01:41morning he took some trucks to the coal yards. Then he had to push empty trucks
01:46to the mine shaft. When he arrived there was trouble. The foreman spoke to his
01:50driver. The trucks are stuck on the mechanism. All they need is a good shove.
01:55We'll do it right away. Percy shunted back to where a large
01:59canvas barrier was used to protect his line from loose rocks. Percy charged at
02:04the line of trucks, too fast and too hard. Oh no, gasped Percy. The trucks broke free
02:13but ran out of control to the mines below.
02:18On, on, faster, faster, the silly trucks yelled.
02:25Then there was trouble again.
02:30Get out of here fast, the mine's collapsing.
02:51We'll just have to make a run for it, Percy, called his driver. There's going to be an
02:58avalanche, wailed Percy, and he was right.
03:03Worse still, the track he was on began to crumble.
03:16Then he remembered something he had seen earlier. There's a canvas barrier by the
03:23track, that might save us. They were just in time.
03:43Percy was right. The canvas did indeed save them, but the miners didn't know
03:48that. The avalanche has buried an engine and its crew. We must help them
03:53immediately. When Percy had been rescued, the Fat Controller spoke to his driver
04:00and fireman, then to Percy. Driver told me how brave you were, Percy, and I'm very
04:05proud of you. As a reward, you will be repainted at the works. Oh, thank you, sir.
04:12When he returned, Percy's green coat glistened in the sun. I'm sorry we teased
04:18you, Percy, said Thomas. You were certainly put upon by that avalanche. Yes, indeed,
04:24but just look at my new coat of paint. Now, I don't mind that being put upon me.
