Transcript
Narrator: "Hoity Toity works his animals hard, but they are very proud when he calls them 'really useful'."

Shining Armor: "I'm going to the scrapyard today."

Narrator: "Shining Armor called to Spike."

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

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

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

Today, there was a surprise waiting for Shining Armor in the yard. It was a baby alligator."

Shining Armor: "Hello."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

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

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

Shining Armor: "What a shame."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Gummy: "My driver says I only need some new skin to be as good as new, but my owner says I'm old-fashion."

Narrator: "Shining Armor snorted."

Shining Armor: "People say I'm old-fashion, but I don't care. Hoity Toity says I'm a useful unicorn. What work did you do?"

Gummy: "My owner 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: "Gummy shut his eyes, remembering."

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

Shining Armor: "Killed, what a shame. Killed, what a shame. I must help Gummy, I must!"

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

Shining Armor: "It's a shame, it's a shame."

Narrator: "He hissed.

Then,"

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

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

Vicar: "Hello, Shining Armor. You look upset. What's the matter, Charlie?"

Narrator: "He asked the driver."

Shining Armor's Driver: "There's a baby alligator in the scrapyard, Vicar. He'll be killed next week. Jem Cole says he never worked with a better alligator."

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

Vicar: "We'll see."

Narrator: "Replied the vicar.

Jem Cole came on Saturday."

Jem Cole: "The reverend's coming to see you, Gummy. Maybe he'll buy you."

Gummy: "Do you think he will?"

Narrator: "Asked Gummy hopefully."

Jem Cole: "He will when I get you cleaned up."

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

Vicar: "Show you paces, Gummy."

Narrator: "Said the vicar.

Later, he came out of the office smiling."

Vicar: "I've got him cheap, Jem! Cheap!"

Jem Cole: "Did you hear that, Gummy?"

Narrator: "Cried Jem."

Jem Cole: "The reverend saved you, and you'll live at the vicarage now."

Gummy: "Peep, peep!"

Narrator: "Whistled Gummy.

Now, Gummy's home is in the vicarage orchard, and he sees Shining Armor everyday. His skin is spotless, and his tail shines. Gummy likes his work, but his happiest day is the church fair.

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."

Gummy: "I like children."

Narrator: "He whispers happily."
