Transcript
Narrator: "Pongo and Piglet enjoy working in the docks. They like the sea air and the sound of the gulls.

But one day, the friends were feeling hot and bothered. A rabbit was causing trouble. his name was Rabbit, and this was his first day at the docks."

Rabbit: "You're useless little bugs!"

Narrator: "He called from above."

Rabbit: "If you put these boxes on the inside lines, then I wouldn't have so far to travel!"

Pongo: "Rubbish!"

Narrator: "Said Pongo."

Pongo: "We always arrange our cargo like this, and no rabbit has ever complained before."

Rabbit: "Well, I'm complaining now!"

Narrator: "And Rabbit banged his load down on the keyside.

Later, the two Disney Characters met Sir Ector and Donald and told them about Big Mickey."

Sir Ector: "Rabbits are hairy fairy things, they need a lot of attention, like me, in fact."

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector."

Donald Duck: "You should see the situation from Rabbit's point of view."

Narrator: "Huffed Donald."

Donald Duck: "He's high up in the air, coping with wind, rain, and baking sun, then he looks down and sees you two little Disney Characters being annoying! No wonder he calls you 'bugs'.

Narrator: "When Rabbit heard that the big Disney characters agreed with him, he grew bossier still."

Rabbit: "Come on, come on! Push those boxes closer to me!"

Narrator: "But Piglet was too upset to concentrate, and pushed the boxes too far."

(Rabbit drops his load on Piglet)

Narrator: "Poor Piglet.

Then, Rabbit played a trick on Pongo."

Rabbit: "Push your boxes onto the outside line! It's easier for me to load up!"

Narrator: "So Pongo did.

But Rabbit left the loads beside the boxes, not in them."

Rabbit: "You must have known I can't reach you there!"

Narrator: "Complained Rabbit. This mix-up caused confusion and delay.

Mickey Mouse was most upset."

Mickey Mouse: "Pongo and Piglet, this new rabbit has an important job to do. I have heard you have not been helping him today. You will go to your homes and consider how you will improve yourselves tomorrow."

Narrator: "Now, Pongo and Piglet were upset, too.

That evening, a big storm raged across Disneyland.

Rabbit and the big Disney Characters were trapped at the docks."

Jiminy Cricket: "We're sure to be safe in this shed."

Narrator: "Said Jiminy.

But he was wrong.

The Disney Characters had no idea they were about to be put in great danger by an old tramp steamer. It was out of control, and running aground, straight into the sheds!"

Rabbit: "AAAAH!" (Falls Over)

Baloo, Sir Ector, Donald Duck and Jiminy Cricket: "Help!"

Narrator: "Called the Disney Characters from inside the shed."

Rabbit: "I can't."

Narrator: "Called Rabbit pathetically.

When the storm was over, Mickey rushed to the scene of the destruction."

Mickey Mouse: "Pongo and Piglet will help you."

Narrator: "He called to Rabbit."

Mickey Mouse: "And then you can help the Disney Characters."

Rabbit: "Oh, please, hurry!"

Narrator: "Cried Rabbit."

Rabbit: "And tell them I'm sorry I was rude to them!"

Mickey Mouse: "So it was you!"

Narrator: "Murmured Mickey."

Mickey Mouse: "I owe those Disney Characters an apology."

Narrator: "Pongo and Piglet soon came to the rescue.

And it wasn't too long before Rabbit was upright again, and clearing the wreckage.

At last, all the Disney Characters were free."

Sir Ector: "Oh, thank you."

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "What would I have done without you?"

Rabbit: "Well, I had to be rescued before I could help you.

But I never thought it would be done by a couple of bu... bu..."

Narrator: "Rabbit was about to say 'bugs', but he quickly corrected himself."

Rabbit: "Uh, small Disney Characters, thank you. I'll never be rude again. However, you two mites are in my way, so move over!"

Piglet: "Pah!"

Narrator: "Said Piglet."

Piglet: "He's back to bugging us!"

Pongo: "Don't move! You're still attached to Rabbit!"

Narrator: "But it was too late."

(Rabbit Falls Over)

Narrator: "Rabbit still looks down on the two little Disney Characters, but ever since that stormy night, he never calls them 'bugs' or 'mites', because he knows they may bite back."
