00:00Ivo the Engine. Look, there he is, on the way back from Flan Govin, with Evans the Song and a Box of Pigeons for Mr. Brangwen.

00:24Edwin Jones, there seems to be something on the line.

00:30It looks like a rock. A lump of grey rock.

00:37I'd better have a look. I wonder how that got there.

00:42Perhaps it rolled.

00:44No, it didn't roll. It walked.

00:47What, a rock?

00:49No, an elephant.

00:50So it is. A dead elephant.

00:56Who says it's dead? Come on, fatty, wake up now.

01:01Ah, there we are.

01:04Good morning. Would you mind doing us a favour, like, hoist yourself off the railway line so Ivo can get by?

01:10There you see, Evan Evans, a little politeness. That's all it takes.

01:15Oh, look. It's limping. It's got a bad foot. Oh, dear. Hi, elephant. Elephant, wait a minute. Wait for us.

01:33Now, show us that foot of yours.

01:40Oh, look at that, Evan Evans.

01:43There's a nasty cut foot you've got there, elephant Bach.

01:46What shall we do about that?

01:48Well, there's only one thing we can do, isn't there?

01:51And so they did it.

01:54And then they tied the basket of pigeons on the top.

01:58Oh, oh, oh.

01:59Only one thing, Jones.

02:11Now we have the elephant, what do we do with it?

02:15Well, I was wondering if we knew somebody who could look after it.

02:19It would need to be somebody with plenty of space.

02:22And somebody fond of animals, too.

02:23Oh, yes. There's a problem.

02:27I know.

02:28Mr. Hughes, the gas works.

02:30Yes, that's right. Come on, Ivo. Grumbly gas works.

02:40Hello there, Jones.

02:43You got my blackstone coal?

02:46Oh?

02:47What's that?

02:49I ordered blackstone coal, not a dirty great lump of rock.

02:53That's not rock, Mr. Hughes. That's elephant.

02:56Well, come to think of it, I didn't order any elephant, either.

02:58Oh, we know that, Emrysbach, but we couldn't just leave it on the line.

03:02It's got a bad foot.

03:04And there's plenty of room here.

03:06Here? In the gas works?

03:08Yes, and you are an animal lover.

03:10You keep a lot of pets.

03:12You're famous for it.

03:14Budgery gas, Mr. Jones.

03:15It's budgery gas I keep, not elephants.

03:18So you can put it back where you found it, as far as I'm concerned.

03:24Oh, look.

03:25It's shivering.

03:27So it is.

03:29It must be cold.

03:34Oh, all right.

03:36Find the idiot as usual.

03:39Get it unloaded and dump it over there.

03:42Mr. Hughes made a bed for the elephant from old sacks.

03:47He even made a canvas screen to keep the draft off.

03:51Evans' song went to the baker, who gave him a big bag of stale loaves.

03:55Jones fetched a bucket of water and set it down by the elephant.

03:58She still looks a bit miserable.

04:01Mine don't know.

04:03I know what she wants.

04:04There, what about that?

04:10A gas fire.

04:13There's luxury now.

04:15Well, why not?

04:16What's the point in staying at the gas works if you can't keep warm?

04:20There, she looks better already.

04:23Are you all right then, elephant?

04:27You're welcome, I'm sure.

04:30Right then, Mr. Hughes.

04:31We'll get your Blackstone call.

04:33Oh, yes.

04:34And you'd better call in and ask Miss Ludgrove, the vet, to have a look at its foot.

04:38Oh, yes.

04:39Right-o, Mr. Hughes.

04:40Come on, Ivor.

04:41Oh, no, no, no, no.
