Transcript
Narrator: Mr. Mischief the Yellow Mr. Men has been working in the Woodland Village for four months now. He usually works at the wharf with Neil Goldman. But one morning, Neil noticed that Mr. Mischief looked unhappy.

Neil Goldman: Are you alright, Mr. Mischief? You've seemed a bit down lately, if you don't mind that I mentioned it.

Mr. Mischief: Well, Neil, I've been stuck at the wharf mostly since me and my friends came back to the land of TV. I'd really like to have a long run to stretch my legs. It's what an engine really needs. You've got to go out to take some trains in the past few weeks.

Neil Goldman: Not that many, but that's mainly because the engines who were going to pull them were not available. But anyway, perhaps you should tell Owl about your problems.

Narrator: But Mr. Mischief said nothing. He just grew unhappier, and he became rough with the trucks.

Changeling #1: You're no good, Albert!

Little Miss Trouble: Yeah, you're a dangerous engine!

Changeling #2: We want Cat!

Mr. Mischief: Cat s far too busy to be bothered with you lot!

Narrator: Mr. Mischief bumped the changelings hard. And then there was trouble.

(Mr. Mischief pushes the changelings and Miss Trouble into the canal)

Mr. Mischief: Oh no! What have I done?

Schemer: You silly little Mr. Man! I was waiting to pick up goods from those changelings!

Scuttlebutt Pete: You've really done it now, Mr. Mischief!

Workman: Indeed! It'll take a long time to get those changelings out of the canal, and that'll cause delay here at the wharf.

Narrator: Mr. Mischief was worried about what Mr. Owl would say. He found out that evening.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Owl: Mr. Mischief, I am disappointed in you! You've caused delay and confusion by pushing those changelings into the canal. For your punishment for causing that accident, you'll work at the Blue Mountain Quarry for a while, and Mr. Rush will come down and help out at the wharf.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: Yes, sir. I'm really sorry, sir.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Narrator: Mr. Mischief didn't care much for quarry work, but he was glad to at least get out of the wharf for a while.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Fussy: Ah, Mr. Mischief! We were told you were coming up to help around here.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: Yes. I caused an accident at the wharf, so I was sent to work here for a while.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Matt: Well, me, Mr. Fussy and Mr. Rush work very well as a team, but we're always happy to have other engines help out.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Clayton: We don't get to see you very much. So we're glad you're here, Mr. Mischief.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Owen: We're always happy to work with someone who worked in Misterland. Clayton and I have wanted to hear about some of your adventures.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: Thank you, Owen.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Narrator: But deep down, Mr. Mischief still felt terrible for causing the accident. Albert worked hard around the quarry for the next few days. And he told Claytok and Owen about some of his adventures back in Misterland.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: And after my accident, I learned that I should ask other characters for help when needed. I was a rude Mr. Man when I first arrived on the railway. But over the years, I've learned to be much nicer.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Clayton: That's good, Mr. Mischief. A really useful engine always learns from their mistakes.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Narrator: A few days later, there was a problem.

<p style="font-size:14px;">(Owen breaks down)

<p style="font-size:14px;">Owen: Oh dear! I've broken down. I can't move trucks up and down on my platforms.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Narrator: Mr. Owl came to see Mr. Mischief.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Owl: Mr. Mischief, as you're the only one available, you are to pick up Owen's new parts at the transfer yards. No Feet is bringing them.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: But why can't he come down to the quarry, sir?

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Owl: The points to the quarry have jammed. No bigger characters can come down, and the points won't be mended until morning. So it would be best if they were delivered to the transfer yards, and taken to the quarry by our line. Owen must be fixed by morning.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: Alright, sir. I'll go right away.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Narrator: Mr. Mischief made his way to the transfer yards, just as the sun was starting to set. It was nearly dark when Albert arrived at the transfer yards.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: Where's No Feet? He should be here.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief's Driver: He must be running late.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Narrator: They waited and waited, but No Feet still didn't come. Mr. Mischeif was getting impatient.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: No Feet, where are you?

<p style="font-size:14px;">(Hiss)

<p style="font-size:14px;">No Feet: Here I am! I'm very sorry I'm late. I was having trouble with my lamp. It wasn't working, so I had to wait for it to be replaced. You know how dangerous it is to run at night without a lamp.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischeif: I know that I'll be late delivering these parts to Owen.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Narrator: It wasn't long before the parts were loaded, and Mr. Mischief set off for the quarry. But there was trouble ahead. The points near the Woodland station had been set in the wrong direction. Neither Mr. Mischief or his crew knew that they were going the wrong way.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief's Driver: I'm getting a bit worried. We should have reached the Blue Mountain Quarry by now.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: Wait. Is this a quarry up ahead?

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief's Driver: It doesn't look like the Blue Mountain Quarry. Where are we?

<p style="font-size:14px;">(Then, Mr. Mischief derails at some broken tracks)

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: Oh bother! I've derailed! Now what can we do?

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief's Driver: Maybe we can see if we can call for help.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Narrator: So Mr. Mischief's driver, fireman and guard looked walked around the old quarry to see if there was a telephone they could use. Meanwhile, Mr. Owl was becoming concerned.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Owl: Mr. Mischief never reached the Blue Mountain Quarry? We'll have to send out a search party.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Narrator: Budgie flew in the sky to find Mr. Mischief, while Mr. Owl and young Squirrel looked for him on the ground.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Squirrel: I hope nothing's happened to Mr. Mischief.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Owl: So do I.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Budgie: I think I've found him, sir. He's over by the old quarry. He looks like he's derailed.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Owl: Right! We'll head up there to see what's happened.

<p style="font-size:14px;">(Mr. Owl and Squirrel arrive at the old quarry)

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Owl: Hello?

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: Mr. Owl! I'm glad you're here.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Owl: Mr. Mischief! I'm glad we found you. I sent out a search party when I heard you didn't make it back with Owen's new parts.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Narrator: Mr. Mischief and his crew explained what happened to Mr. Percival.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief's Driver: It wasn't Mr. Mischief's fault, sir.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Owl: I'm aware of that. I'm just glad to see you're all safe. Budgie, will you please tell the others about Mr. Mischief, and ask if one of them can bring the breakdown train up.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Budgie: Right away, sir.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Narrator: Then Mr. Owl decided to look around the old quarry.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Owl: This is the old slate quarry. Before the Blue Mountain Quarry was formed, this was the quarry the engines used to collect slate. After looking around the quarry just now, I've decided that we're going to re-open this quarry to produce slate again while the Blue Mountain Quarry will continue to produce stone and gravel.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: Oh! You know, getting lost might not be all bad, but it's still much better to found.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Owl: And Mr. Mischief, I promise you can have more journeys on the main line in the future, as long as you don't cause anymore mishaps at the wharf.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Mr. Mischief: Yes, sir. That makes me feel a lot better. And I will never cause anymore accidents at the wharf again.
