Saved from Scrap

Ringo Starr UK Version:

 * Ringo Starr: The Fat Controller works his engines hard but they are very proud when he calls them Really Useful.
 * Edward: I’m going to the scrap yard today.
 * Ringo Starr: Edward called to Thomas.
 * Thomas: What, already? You’re not that old!
 * Ringo Starr: Replied Thomas cheekily. Thomas was only teasing. The scrap yard is full of rusty old cars and machinery. They are broken into pieces, loaded in to trucks, and Edward pulls them to the Steelworks, where they are melted down and used again. Today, there was a surprise waiting for Edward in the yard. It was a Traction-engine.
 * Edward: Hullo!
 * Ringo Starr: Said Edward.
 * Edward: You’re not broken and rusty. What are you doing here?
 * Trevor: I’m Trevor, they’re going to break me up next week.
 * Edward: What a shame!
 * Ringo Starr: Said Edward.
 * Trevor: My Driver says I only need some paint, polish, and oil to be as good as new, but my Master says I’m old-fashioned.
 * Ringo Starr: Edward snorted.
 * Edward: People say I’m old-fashioned, but I don’t care. The Fat Controller says I’m a Useful Engine. What work did you do?
 * Trevor: My Master would send us from farm to farm. We threshed corn, hauled logs, and did lots of other work. The children loved to see us.
 * Ringo Starr: Trevor shut his eyes – remembering.
 * Trevor: Oh yes, I like children.
 * Ringo Starr: Edward set off for the station.
 * Edward: Broken up, what a shame! Broken up, what a shame! I must help Trevor, I must!
 * Ringo Starr: He thought of all his friends who like engines, but strangely none of them would have room for a Traction-engine at home!
 * Edward: It’s a shame! It’s a shame!
 * Ringo Starr: He hissed. Then –
 * Edward: Peep! Peep! Why didn’t I think of him before?
 * Ringo Starr: There on the platform was the very person.
 * Vicar: Hullo Edward, you look upset! What’s the matter, Charlie?
 * Ringo Starr: He asked the Driver.
 * Charlie: There’s a Traction-engine in the scrap yard, Vicar; he’ll be broken up next week. Jem Cole says he never drove a better engine.
 * Edward: Do save him, Sir! He saws wood, and gives children rides.
 * Vicar: We’ll see.
 * Ringo Starr: Replied the Vicar. Jem Cole came on Saturday.
 * Jem Cole: The Reverend’s coming to see you, Trevor; maybe he’ll buy you.
 * Trevor: Do you think he will?
 * Ringo Starr: Asked Trevor hopefully.
 * Jem Cole: He will when I’ve lit your fire, and cleaned you up.
 * Ringo Starr: The Vicar and his two boys arrived that evening. Trevor hadn’t felt so happy for months. He chuffered about the Yard.
 * Vicar: Show your paces, Trevor.
 * Ringo Starr: Said the Vicar.
 * (The Vicar has a go at driving Trevor, and then goes into the office.)
 * Ringo Starr: Later, he came out of the office smiling.
 * Vicar: I’ve got him cheap, Jem, cheap.
 * Jem Cole: D’ye hear that, Trevor?
 * Ringo Starr: Cried Jem.
 * Jem Cole: The Reverend’s saved you, and you’ll live at the Vicarage now.
 * Trevor: Peep! Peep!
 * Ringo Starr: Whistled Trevor. Now Trevor’s home is in the Vicarage Orchard, and he sees Edward every day. His paint is spotless and his brass shines like gold. Trevor likes his work, but his happiest day is the Church Fête. With a wooden seat bolted to his bunker, he chuffers round the Orchard giving rides to children. Long afterwards, you will see him shut his eyes – remembering.
 * Trevor: I like children.
 * Ringo Starr: He whispers happily.
