Docks is one of the busiest
dock yards on all
the island of Sodar.
It's where ships and
engines and cranes alike
are busy day and night,
every day of the year.
But poor Cranky the
Crane never gets a nap.
He never gets to sleep
early, he works all the time.
And his only company are the
gulls that settle on his arm.
So Cranky is always cranky.
"Ahoy there,
Cranky," cried Salty.
"Where have you
been?" snapped Cranky.
"And a good day to
you too, captain."
Bill and Ben arrived for
work full of mischief.
"Hurry up!" snapped Cranky,
"I haven't got all day."
"You're no fun," grumbled Bill.
"You wouldn't be fun if
you were stuck up here,"
snapped Cranky.
"So, that's why you're
cranky," said Bill.
"You're lonely," said Ben.
"I'm not!" Cranky cranked.
"So it's company you be
needin'," said Salty.
"Reminds me of a lonely old
Grand Banks lighthouse keeper."
"Not another one of your
stories!" cried Cranky.
"Oh, please Salty!" they
chimed, "We haven't heard it."
"'Twas in the middle of
a wee naughty storm,"
Salty began.
"The likes of which you
see once in a lifetime."
This made Cranky, very cranky.
So cranky, that he
swung his arm around,
and dropped the pipes onto the
tracks instead of the trucks.
(building crashing)
"Whoops," said Cranky, meekly.
"You've blown the may
now, matey!" said Salty.
The engines were trapped!
"You're gonna get into
trouble!" sang Bill and Ben.
Sir Topham Hatt
was in his office
being measured for a new suit.
When he heard the news, he
left immediately for the docks.
Sir Topham Hatt knew that
any delay at the docks,
could cause trouble.
"You have made a
terrible mess, Cranky,"
he said, sternly.
"I'm sorry, sir,"
Cranky whispered.
"You engines will have
to stay here tonight
"until Harvey clears up
this mess in the morning."
Cranky's heart sank, as Salty
uttered those fateful words.
"That reminds me of a story."
"It was a bitter, cold winter.
"The brave little
ship was stuck until
"the ice melted the next spring.
"He barely made
it round the cape,
"after scary days at
sea without a scratch.
"He sailed into port
and crashed his bow
"not feet from my buffers.
"Luckily, no one was hurt."
"Except my ears!" wailed Cranky.
Salty spent all night telling
tales of powerful storms,
daring rescues and
brave little ships,
and when the sun rose,
he was still talking.
And talking,
and talking.
"I can't take anymore!"
groaned Cranky.
(train whistle)
Harvey the Crane Engine arrived.
"Sir Topham Hatt sent me to
help clear away this mess,"
he puffed proudly.
Cranky was so pleased the
engines would be going soon,
he forgot to be cranky.
"I'll never misbehave
again," he promised.
"As long as I don't have
to listen to anymore
"of Salty's stories!"
And after Harvey and
the workmen had cleared
the wreckage, Cranky
worked hard all day.
He carefully loaded the trucks,
helped speed the
engines on their way
and he said please
and thank you.
"This is new," puffed Thomas.
But he had spoken too soon,
Cranky couldn't help himself.
(pipes crashing)
"It was nice while it
lasted," said Percy.
And all the engines laughed.
But Cranky was still cranky.
