00:00On the island of Sodor, high up in the mountains was a mysterious boulder.
00:05It had stood alone for a long time.
00:08But one day, workmen arrived to build a quarry on the land below.
00:14Rusty the little diesel met Thomas and Percy.
00:18Where's all this rock coming from?
00:20Percy asked.
00:21The new quarry, replied Rusty.
00:23This mountain rock is good for many things, although it's dangerous up there.
00:28Why? asked Thomas.
00:29Because of a big boulder.
00:31I think it's watching me, said Rusty nervously.
00:34How can it be? Boulders don't have eyes.
00:37That's as may be, Percy.
00:39But there's something strange about this one.
00:41Just then, Edward arrived.
00:44He was delivering a new piece of machinery for the quarry.
00:47What's that? asked Rusty.
00:49It's called thumper.
00:50Apparently it helps collect the rock faster, replied Edward.
00:56Soon, thumper was working hard.
00:59The men were pleased, but no one bothered to check the boulder.
01:08When it rained, the workmen went away.
01:11Rusty gazed up and shivered.
01:13Above stood boulder.
01:16Suddenly, a large slab of rock landed on the rails.
01:19Rusty was shocked.
01:21Driver was concerned.
01:22We'd best leave till the weather's better.
01:24The rain loosened some of this rock, he said.
01:27I think it's boulder wanting us to go away, whispered Rusty.
01:40The next day, the sun shone.
01:42The quarry was filled with more machines.
01:45Suddenly, Rusty noticed something.
01:48Boulder's moving.
01:51Don't be so daft.
01:52It can't, said Rusty's driver.
01:55But it could.
02:02It's rolling along our line.
02:15We'll stop here until boulder passes by, said Rusty's driver.
02:19But boulder was nowhere to be seen.
02:22Suddenly...
02:23Oh, no! It's behind us!
02:27Just ahead, they saw a small junction.
02:30One line went uphill.
02:32Boulder thundered past.
02:36Meanwhile, Skarloey was making his way up to the quarry.
02:40Then he saw boulder.
02:43Yikes!
02:46Boulder was catching up to them fast, but they veered into a siding.
02:54We must warn the yards, shouted Skarloey.
02:57Yes, but how, called Rusty.
03:03Boulder rounded a bend, and there ahead was Rheneas.
03:07It's running loose, yelled Rheneas.
03:10His driver drove him back as fast as he could.
03:13Yikes!
03:26Rather a smash than a squash, sighed his driver.
03:30At the yards, Percy was collecting trucks.
03:33Then he heard boulder.
03:36Oh, no! It's heading straight for me!
03:40Oh, no! It's heading straight for me!
04:00When the Fat Controller inspected the damage, he decided to close the mine.
04:05Then he looked at boulder.
04:07We should have left this part of the island alone, he said thoughtfully.
04:12They moved boulder to a hill close by the yards.
04:15Rusty is sure that on a clear night it is gazing up at the mountain,
04:19and that its sighs are being carried on the wind to where it once used to stand, proud and silent.
04:26I wonder if Rusty is right. Don't you?
