Down the Mine

Ringo Starr UK Version:

 * Ringo Starr: One day Thomas was at the junction, when Gordon shuffled in with some trucks.
 * Thomas: Poof!
 * Ringo Starr: Remarked Thomas.
 * Thomas: What a funny smell! Can you smell a smell?
 * Annie: I can’t smell a smell.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Annie.
 * Thomas: A funny, musty sort of smell.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Thomas.
 * Gordon: No one noticed it till you did.
 * Ringo Starr: Grunted Gordon.
 * Gordon: It must be yours.
 * Ringo Starr: Not long ago he had fallen into a dirty ditch. Thomas enjoyed teasing him about it.
 * Thomas: Annie! Clarabel! Do you know what I think it is? It’s ditchwater!
 * Ringo Starr: Before Gordon could answer, Thomas puffed away. Annie and Clarabel could hardly believe their ears!
 * Annie and Clarabel: He’s dreadfully rude; I feel quite ashamed. I feel quite ashamed, he’s dreadfully rude.
 * Ringo Starr: And to Thomas they said.
 * Annie and Clarabel: You mustn’t be rude, you make us ashamed.
 * Ringo Starr: But Thomas didn’t care a bit.
 * Thomas: That was funny, that was funny.
 * Ringo Starr: He chuckled, he felt very pleased with himself. Annie and Clarabel were deeply shocked. They had great respect for Gordon the Big Engine. Thomas left the coaches at the station and went off to a mine for some trucks. Long ago, miners, digging for lead, had made tunnels under the ground. Their roofs are strong enough to hold up trucks, but not the weight of engines. A large notice warns them not to enter the area: “DANGER, ENGINES MUST NOT PASS THIS BOARD.”
 * Thomas: Silly old board.
 * Ringo Starr: Thought Thomas. He had often tried to pass it, but had never succeeded. But this morning he had made a plan. The Fireman went to turn the points.
 * Thomas: Now for my plan.
 * Ringo Starr: Thought Thomas. Bumping the trucks fiercely, he jerked his Driver off the footplate and followed them into the siding.
 * Thomas’ Driver: Come back.
 * Ringo Starr: Yelled his Driver.
 * (Thomas’ weight causes one of the tunnel’s roofs to collapse and he falls in a hole.)
 * Thomas: Fire and Smoke!
 * Ringo Starr: Said Thomas.
 * Thomas: I’m sunk!
 * Ringo Starr: And he was.
 * Thomas: Oh dear!
 * Ringo Starr: He said.
 * Thomas: I am a silly engine.
 * The Fat Controller: And a very naughty one too. I saw you.
 * Ringo Starr: Said the Fat Controller.
 * Thomas: Please get me out; I won’t be naughty again.
 * The Fat Controller: I’m not sure. We can’t lift you out with a crane, the ground’s not firm enough. Hm… Let me see… I wonder if Gordon could pull you out.
 * Thomas: Yes Sir.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Thomas. But he didn’t want to meet Gordon just yet.
 * Gordon: Down a mine is he? Ha! Ha! Ha!
 * Ringo Starr: Laughed Gordon.
 * Gordon: What a joke!
 * (Gordon arrives at the lead mines.)
 * Gordon: Poop! Poop! Little Thomas, we’ll have you out in a couple of puffs.
 * Ringo Starr: Strong cables were fastened between the two engines.
 * The Fat Controller: Are you ready? HEAVE.
 * Ringo Starr: It was a lot harder than they all thought but at last Thomas was free.
 * Thomas: I’m sorry I was cheeky.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Thomas.
 * Gordon: That’s all right, Thomas. You made me laugh.
 * Ringo Starr: Replied Gordon.
 * Gordon: I’m in disgrace.
 * Thomas: So am I.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Thomas.
 * Gordon: Why! So you are Thomas. Shall we form an Alliance? You help me, and I'll help you.
 * Thomas: Right you are.
 * Ringo Starr: Agreed Thomas.
 * Gordon: Good! That’s settled.
 * Ringo Starr: Rumbled Gordon. And buffer to buffer the Allies puffed home.

 * Ringo Starr: Said Annie.
 * Thomas: A funny, musty sort of smell.

 * Thomas: Silly old board.

 * Sir Topham Hatt: And a very naughty one too. I saw you.
 * Ringo Starr: Said Sir Topham Hatt.
