Transcript
Narrator: "Dr. Whooves and his tortoise, Tank, like working in the big yards. But one morning, Tank noticed that Dr. Whooves was unhappy. He decided to find out why."

Tank: "Uh, excuse me, Mr. Whooves. It seems to me that things are not well with you, if you forgive me for mentioning it."

Dr. Whooves: "You're quite right, Tank. All I do is shunt these changelings onto the turntable. I long for a nice run. It's what a pony really needs."

Tank: "Quite so, Mr. Whooves. May I suggest you speak to Hoity Toity about your problems."

Narrator: "But Dr. Whooves said nothing. He just grew unhappier, and he was rough with the changelings."

Changelings: "You're no good, Dr. Whooves. You're dangerous. We want Pipsqueak!"

Dr. Whooves: "Pipsqueak is far too busy to be bothered by the likes of you!"

Narrator: "And Dr. Whooves bumped the changelings hard."

(Dr. Whooves pushes the changelings into the turntable well)

Workman: "You silly pony!"

Narrator: "Shouted a workman."

Workman: "It'll take a long time to mend this turntable, which will cause confusion and delay."

Narrator: "That night, Hoity Toity arrived."

Hoity Toity: "Dr. Whooves, you have caused confusion! I thought you could control changelings. You shall work the mail run for a while. Maybe the night air will clear your head."

Dr. Whooves: "Yes, sir. Sorry, sir."

Narrator: "Said Dr. Whooves sadly."

Dr. Whooves' Driver: "Cheer up, old cheap."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Dr. Whooves' Driver: "The mail run is a fine run for a pony like you."

Narrator: "Dr. Whooves smiled, but he still felt he had let everyone down.

His driver took him along the coastal run with the mail. The fresh air couldn't help but brighten Dr. Whooves' spirits.

They made good speed until it was time to collect some important mail from Owlowiscious the Owl."

Dr. Whooves: "Come on, Owlowiscious!"

Narrator: "At last, Owlowiscious landed."

Owlowiscious: "Sorry I'm late, earth pony. Had a bit of a problem with one of my wings. Kept letting me down when I was meant to be up. You know how it is."

Dr. Whooves' Driver: "We know that we'll be late with our first run."

Narrator: "Replied Dr. Whooves' driver.

Soon, they were on their way again. Ahead was a red signal light.

Dr. Whooves didn't realized that the signalman had dozed off. Dr. Whooves whistled several time, but the signal stayed red."

Dr. Whooves' Driver: "There must be something wrong with the signal. We'll go slowly and stop by the signal box."

Narrator: "Said his driver.

But they never reached it. The points before the signal box were set to an old path. They were going the wrong way.

Dr. Whooves' fireman was concerned."

Dr. Whooves' Fireman: "We need to find a water fountain soon."

Narrator: "Instead, they saw an old station. Disaster lay ahead!"

(CRASH!)

Narrator: "Meanwhile, Hoity Toity was worried."

Hoity Toity: "Dr. Whooves has not returned. We'll send out a search party."

Narrator: "Soon, he was high in the sky with Owlowiscious."

Hoity Toity: "There they are!"

Dr. Whooves' Driver: "It wasn't Dr. Whooves' fault."

Narrator: "Sighed the driver."

Hoity Toity: "I'm aware of that. I'm just glad to see you are all safe."

Narrator: "Then he saw something. It was an empty old house beside the station. He went to inspect it.

When he returned, he spoke to Dr. Whooves."

Hoity Toity: "You have found another attraction for our town. We'll make this house as good as new, and visitors can have tea and crumpets there."

Dr Whooves: "Hmm."

Narrator: "Sighed Dr. Whooves."

Dr. Whooves: "Getting lost can be interesting, but being found is much nicer. Especially if it makes a pony feel Really Useful."
