Spud is a scarecrow, who works on the fields of Farmer Brown's farm. He is a kind hearted scarecrow, but is often mischievous. He loves to pull a trick every now and then, but it can sometimes get him into trouble. One day, Spud was complaining. "I'm tired of being a scarecrow," he said, "I want to have a career that's more exciting." "But Spud," said Trevor, "You've been made to be a scarecrow." "I know, but that doesn't mean I can be something else," said Spud. "I don't know," said Travis, "I think you should stay in the fields and talk to Farmer Brown if he has any other jobs you can do." But Spud didn't listen. That afternoon, he left the fields, and headed off along the rails.
While walking, he watched all the engines coming and going. "Wow," he said, "That looks like fun. From now on, I am: SPUD THE CONDUCTOR!!! Now, I just need to find an engine to drive." Spud looked around, and he saw Thomas at a station. "Ah, hello there," said Spud, "What's your name?" "I'm Thomas, the number one engine," said Thomas. "Nice to meet you Thomas, I'm Spud the Conductor. I'm in need of an engine to drive, are you in need of a conductor?" "Sorry," said Thomas, "I already have a driver and fireman." Thomas then puffed off. Spud wasn't going to give up that easily.
He soon reached Sir Topham Hat station, and he saw Vinnie sitting at a sighting, with trucks full of waste and rubbish. His driver and firemen were on break with the guard. "Oh," said Spud, "An engine in need of a driver! This looks like a job for Spud the Conductor!" Spud soon climbed up to Vinnie's cab, and said, "Okay, how does this work?" "Who are you?" asked Vinnie. "I'm Spud the Conductor! I'm here to drive you." Vinnie just laughed, "YOU!?!? A BAG OF STRAW, DRIVE ME?!?" "Yes, I mean, how hard can it be?" Spud looked at the controls, and he pushed a lever forward, and Vinnie started to go forward. "Hey, Hey, HEY!! STOP!!" "Come on, we haven't even gotten out on the mainline yet!" said Spud. Vinnie's crew were coming back from break, and saw him rolling off.
Soon, Vinnie was racing along the mainline. "WOO-WHOOO!!" said Spud, "I love driving trains!" He then blew the whistle. Vinnie then took a very sharp turn, and he flew off the rails. Waste and Rubbish flew everywhere! Spud was flung out of Vinnie's cab, and his belt got caught on a tree branch. Betty and Lofty was nearby, and he saw Spud in a tree. "Spud!" said Lofty, "What happened?" "Oh, well, see..." Vinnie then groaned, and Betty said, "I'll call (Y/N) and get the cranes!"
Henry came and he brought Rocky to help lift Vinnie back up, while Lofty helped put Spud back down on the ground. "So, you're that Spud that my grandparents told stories of," said Betty. "Who were your grandparents?" asked Spud. "Bob and Wendy," said Betty. "Oh," said Spud, "Then, I suppose they told you some of the things I did at the construction sites?" "Yes," said Betty, "And what happened to Vinnie?" "Well," said Spud, "I just, wanted to be something else than a scarecrow today, so I thought I would go and find an engine in need of a conductor." "Oh Spud," said a voice. It was (Y/N). "Engines are not toys. They are very heavy machines that can seriously injure or even kill someone if you're not careful." "Sorry (Y/N)," said Spud. Vinnie just chuckled. "AS FOR YOU VINNIE!!" boomed (Y/N), "Let this be a reminder of what Karma can do if you bully again! She can come back and bite you in the tender!" "Yes, ma'am," said Vinnie, shamefully.
Now a days, Vinnie is a more quiet engine, who says a simple hello, or a whistle, and he doesn't bully anyone else. Cause he knows, that Karma will come and bite him right in the tender. And he is sure to stay away, from Spud the Scarecrow.
