Transcript

 * Narrator: One day, Uncle Chuck was talking to Robot when Bomb steamed by. He was pulling Robots and Badniks.
 * Bomb: Come on, Uncle Chuck. Stop gossiping in the sun when there's work to be done.
 * Narrator: Later, Uncle Chuck spoke to Bomb.
 * Uncle Chuck: Robot and I are old friends and you and he have a lot in common too.
 * Bomb: We do?
 * Narrator: Quizzed Bomb.
 * Bomb: And what would that be?
 * Uncle Chuck: Scrap.
 * Narrator: Said Uncle Chuck quietly. Bomb gasped.
 * Bomb: Don't mention that word! It makes me legs wobble!
 * Uncle Chuck: It does the same to Robot.
 * Narrator: Said Uncle Chuck.
 * Uncle Chuck: He was being sent to the scrapyard, but the Vicar and I saved him and now he's really useful again. Even so, King Acorn certainly does need another animal here.
 * Bomb: Aye, he does, and quickly.
 * Narrator: That night, Bomb was still working. He had taken the midnight goods to a station at a faraway part of the country where only the robots worked. He was just shunting, ready for his return journey, when...
 * Bomb: That sounds like an animal.
 * Narrator: He thought. The hiss came again.
 * Bomb: Who's there?
 * Narrator: Asked Bomb. A whisper came.
 * Espio: Are you King Acorn's robot?
 * Bomb: Aye, and proud of it.
 * Espio: Well i'm Espio and I'm with my boy, Chris, we've run out of medicine and had no more steam.
 * Bomb: But what are you doing?
 * Espio: Escaping?
 * Bomb: From what?
 * Espio: Scrap.
 * Narrator: Bomb shivered. Then, he remembered Uncle Chuck's story about saving Robot.
 * Bomb: I'll be glad to help ya. It'll have to look those as you ready for scrap while I'm taking you away.
 * Narrator: Their animators agreed to help too. Everyone worked fast.
 * Bomb: No time to turn round. I'll run myself first. Come on.
 * (Dog barking)
 * Narrator: But before they could clear the station they were stopped.
 * Animator: Aha!
 * George Carlin: Called an animator.
 * Animator: A chameleon and a boy too. You can't take these.
 * Bomb's Animator: Aye, but they're all for us.
 * Narrator: Said Bomb's animator.
 * Bomb's Animator: See for yourself.
 * Narrator: The animator looked all over Espio.
 * Animator: Seems in order. Right away, guard.
 * (Bomb and Espio make an escape)
 * Bomb: That was a near thing.
 * Espio: We've had worse.
 * Narrator: Replied Espio and they forced ahead. It was daylight when their journey ended.
 * Bomb: We're home!
 * Narrator: Cried Bomb.
 * Bomb's Animator: Shh!
 * Narrator: Said his animator.
 * Bomb's Animator: There the works. We'll find a place for Espio.
 * Narrator: Espio said goodbye and thank you, and Bomb puffed away. The next day, Bomb told the other animals all about Espio.
 * Antoine: King Acornwould have to know.
 * Narrator: Said Antoine.
 * Knuckles: Bomb should tell him at once.
 * Narrator: Added Knuckles.
 * King Acorn: Well, here he is.
 * Narrator: Said a voice.
 * King Acorn: Now what's this all about?
 * Rotor: Beg pardon, sir, but we do need another animal.
 * Kuckles: Yes sir.
 * Narrator: Ventured Knuckles.
 * Knuckles: An animal, sir.
 * King Acorn: Well, unless one saved from scrap, there's little hope.
 * Bomb: But sir, one has...
 * King Acorn: Yes indeed. And thanks to you, Bomb, he is now at our works. Espio is just what we need for Rotor's branch line.
 * Narrator: Everyone cheered. Now Espio and Chris are mended and restored. Rotor and Espio are happy on their branch line. The others laughed at first and called it "The Little Western". Rotor and Espio were delighted and so the little western, it will always be.
