Train, Train, Go Away

Starring: Handy

Featuring: Lumpy, Generic Tree Friends

Lumpy is operating a steam train filled with people. Lumpy sticks his head out of the roof hatch of the train and looks at a map to figure out where he is going. He gets out a map and it says that he has to divert tracks otherwise the current track he is on will lead into an broken bridge which will cause the train to crash into the chasm below. He understandingly nods, but as soon as he puts his map away and looks ahead, the train goes underneath an overpass which decapitates his head. Unknown to the passengers, the train operator is dead and the train is heading straight towards a broken bridge.

Handy, meanwhile, is working on fixing the broken bridge. He sees up ahead that a train is headed straight for him and towards the bridge. He manages to quickly escape off the bridge and tries to pull the lever to the divert the tracks but can't due to his nubs. Handy then makes the heroic decision to go back on the track and build the rest of the bridge as fast as he can before the train hits him. He bites down on a saw to cut two planks of wood in half and places them over the bridge to connect the track together. He manages to do this and escape off the bridge right before the train hits him, and Handy watches the train succesfully makes it way across the bridge safely. The passengers of the train cheer him on, and Handy smiles. His heroism, however, is cut short when the saw he left on the tracks is ran over and kicked out from underneath the train, which is flung straight towards him, slicing off the upper half of his head.

Deaths:

Lumpy is decapitated by an overpass the train runs under.

The top half of Handy's head is sliced in half by a saw which is shot out from underneath the train.

Moral:

It's the thought that counts!
