Transcript
Narrator: "Mickey Mouse works his Disney Characters hard, but they are very proud when he calls them 'really useful'."

Hercules: "I'm going to the scrapyard today."

Narrator: "Hercules called to Pongo."

Pongo: "What? Already? You're not that old!"

Narrator: "Replied Pongo cheekily. Pongo was only teasing.

The scrapyard is full of rusty old cars and machinery. They are broken into pieces, given to pirates, and Hercules takes them to the steelworks where they are melted down and used again.

Today, there was a surprise waiting for Hercules in the yard. It was a hound dog."

Hercules: "Hello."

Narrator: "Said Hercules."

Hercules: "You're not broken and rusty. What are you doing here?"

Copper: "I'm Copper. They're going to kill me next week."

Hercules: "What a shame."

Narrator: "Said Hercules."

Copper: "My driver says I only need some fur to be as good as new, but my master says I'm old-fashion."

Narrator: "Hercules snorted."

Hercules: "People say I'm old-fashion, but I don't care. Mickey Mouse says I'm a useful man. What work did you do?"

Copper: "My master would send us from farm to farm. We threshed corn, hauled logs and did lots of other work. The children loved to see us."

Narrator: "Copper shut his eyes, remembering."

Copper: "Oh, yes. I like children."

Narrator: "Hercules set off for the station."

Hercules: "Killed, what a shame. Killed, what a shame. I must help Copper, I must!"

Narrator: "He thought of all his friends who like dogs. But strangely, none of them would have room for a hound dog at home."

Hercules: "It's a shame, it's a shame."

Narrator: "He hissed.

Then,"

Hercules: "Peep, peep! Why didn't I think of him before?"

Narrator: "There, on the platform was the very person."

Grimsby: "Hello, Hercules. You look upset. What's the matter, Charlie?"

Narrator: "He asked the driver."

Hercules' Driver: "There's a hound dog in the scrapyard, Grimsby. He'll be killed next week. Alan-a-Dale says he worked with a better dog."

Hercules: "Do save him, sir. He saws wood and gives children rides."

Grimsby: "We'll see."

Narrator: "Replied Grimsby.

Alan-a-Dale came on Saturday."

Alan-a-Dale: "Grimsby's coming to see you, Copper. Maybe he'll buy you."

Copper: "Do you think he will?"

Narrator: "Asked Copper hopefully."

Alan-a-Dale: "He will when I clean you up."

Narrator: "Grimsby and his two boys arrived that evening. Copper hadn't felt so happy in months. He chuffered about the yard."

Grimsby: "Show you paces, Copper."

Narrator: "Said Grimsby.

Later, he came out of the office smiling."

Grimsby: "I've got him cheap, Alan! Cheap!"

Alan-a-Dale: "Did you hear that, Copper?"

Narrator: "Cried Alan."

Alan-a-Dale: "Grimsby saved you, and you'll live at the vicarage now."

Copper: "Ruff, ruff!"

Narrator: "Barked Copper.

Now, Copper's home is in the vicarage orchard, and he sees Hercules everyday. His fur is spotless, and his ears shine like gold. Copper likes his work, but his happiest day is the church fete.

With a wooden cart attached to him, he chuffers around the orchard, giving rides to children.

Long afterwards, you will see him shut his eyes, remembering."

Copper: "I like children."

Narrator: "He whispers happily."
