(bright music)

("Thomas and

Friends Theme Song")

- [[Narrator] Percy puffed

grumpily into the yards.

He was feeling put

upon, and said so.

"I feel put upon," he

complained to Thomas.

Thomas was confused.

"Put upon what, the rails?"

"No, put upon with work.

"Driver says he is too."

"Put upon, what a silly

saying," replied Thomas.

But Annie and Clarabel liked it,

and they sang about it too.

♪ Percy's been put upon,

put upon, put upon ♪

♪ Percy's been put

upon, poor old Percy ♪

(train rattling)

"Percy is being put upon.

"I am, I am, I am!"

(bright music)

He collected metal

from the foundry.

(bright music)

Coal from the yards.

(train whistling)

Flour from the mills.

(bright music)

Rock from the quarries.

(bright music)

And fuel from the depot.

(bright music)

Then he delivered

it all to the docks.

(bright music)

(steam blowing)

Next, he collected some

empty freight cars.

"Who's this dirty little

engine?" cried the freight cars.

"We want Thomas or Duck."

Percy ignored them.

Put upon, put upon,

that's what I am.

That night, all the

engines laughed at him.

(trains whistling)

"We can see what's been

put upon you," said Thomas.

"Silence," said Sir Topham Hatt.

"Percy you've done

a good day's work.

"Now get a good night's rest."

"Yes sir, thank you sir."

Next morning, he took some

freight cars to the coal yards.

Then he had to push empty

freight cars to the mineshaft.

When he arrived,

there was trouble.

The foreman spoke to his driver.

"The freight cars are

stuck in the mechanism.

"All they need is a good push."

"We'll do it right away."

(train whistle blowing)

(train rumbling)

Percy shunted back to where

a large canvas barrier

was used to protect his

line from loose rocks.

Percy charged to the

line of freight cars

too fast, and too hard.

"Oh no!" gasped Percy.

The freight cars broke free,

but ran out of control

to the mines below.

(dramatic music)

"On, on, faster, faster!" the

silly freight cars yelled.

(dramatic music)

Then there was trouble again.

(train bangs)

(coal clattering)

(ground vibrating)

"Get out of here fast!

"The mine's collapsing!"

(siren wailing)

(expl*si*n booming)

"We'll just have to make

a run for it, Percy,"

called his driver.

"There's going to be an

avalanche," wailed Percy.

And he was right.

(dramatic music)

Worse still, the track he

was on began to crumble.

(dramatic music)

"Oh, help!" wailed Percy.

(dramatic music)

(rocks clattering)

Then he remembered something

he had seen earlier.

"There's a canvas

barrier by the track.

"That might save us."

They were just in time.

(rocks clattering)

(dramatic music)

Percy was right, the canvas

did indeed save them.

But the miners didn't know that.

"The avalanche has buried

an engine and it's crew!"

shouted the foreman.

"We must help them!"

(bright music)

When Percy had been rescued,

Sir Topham Hatt spoke to

his driver and fireman,

then to Percy.

"Driver told me how

brave you were, Percy.

"As a reward you will be

repainted at the Works."

"Oh, thank you sir."

(train rumbling)

(train whistling)

When he returned, Percy's

coat glistened in the sun.

"I'm sorry we teased

you, Percy," said Thomas.

"You were certainly put

upon by that avalanche."

"Yes, indeed, but just look

at my new coat of paint.

"Now, I don't mind that

being put upon me."
