Transcript
Narrator: "Spike the Dragon puffed happily along his line with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.

Hoity Toity was waiting on the platform. He looked at his watch."

Hoity Toity: "Well done, Spike! You are right on time and really reliable."

Spike: "Thank you, sir."

Narrator: "Whistled Spike."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "Oh, right on time and really reliable."

Narrator: "Hummed the cutie mark crusaders.

But the big animals were not feeling cheerful at all."

Big Macintosh: "Where's Pipsqueak?"

Narrator: "Mumbled Big Macintosh."

Big Macintosh: "He's suppose to fetch our buffaloes."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "We get no rest."

Narrator: "Complained Cranky.

He edged angrily onto the turntable and spoke rudely to Big Mac."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What's the matter, Big Mac? There's no rain today. Stop worrying and do some work instead."

Big Macintosh: "I'm not afraid of getting wet anymore."

Narrator: "Huffed Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "Anyway, you look silly enough to be a clown. You should join the circus."

Pipsqueak: "Oh!"

Narrator: "Whistled Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "So you've heard the news."

Chief Thunderhooves: "What news?"

Pipsqueak: "About the circus."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Pipsqueak, what are you talking about?"

Pipsqueak: "The circus has arrived."

Narrator: "Explained Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "I've been shunting special carts. Hoity Toity needs your help too."

Narrator: "The animals soon forgot to be tired and cross. Until it was time for the circus to leave. Then Chief Thunderhooves and Big Mac were cross all over again when Cranky got to pull the carts away.

A little later Hoity Toity returned."

Hoity Toity: "Come along, Big Macintosh. A tunnel is blocked down the line. You must take some workmen to investigate."

Big Macintosh: "Pushing changelings, pushing changelings."

Narrator: "Grumbled Big Mac.

They stopped outside the tunnel. The workmen went inside.

It was very dark and quiet. But not for long."

Workmen: "Help!"

Narrator: "Shouted the workmen. And they ran out."

Workmen: "We started to dig at the block, but it grunted and moved."

Narrator: "One said."

Foreman: "Rubbish!"

Narrator: "Said the foreman."

Workmen: "It's not rubbish. It's big and alive. We're not going in there again."

Foreman: "Right."

Narrator: "Said the foreman."

Foreman: "I'll go with the changelings and Big Mac shall push it out."

Big Macintosh: "Weesh!"

Narrator: "Said Big Mac unhappily. He had been shut in the tunnel for being afraid of the rain. But this was worse. Something big and alive was inside."

Big Macintosh: "Peep! Peep! I don't want to go in."

Big Macintosh's Driver: "Neither do I."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Big Macintosh's Driver: "But we must clear the path."

Big Macintosh: "Oh dear, oh dear."

Narrator: "Huffed Big Mac.

Then there was trouble. The block was indeed alive and very strong. It began to push them backwards. Out of the tunnel came Big Mac, then the changelings and last of all a large, cross elephant."

Foreman: "Well I never."

Narrator: "Cried the foreman."

The workmen gave him some cake. He drank three buckets of water. And was just about to drink another, when Big Mac kicked dirt."

The Elephant: "(Trumpeting)"

Narrator: "Cried the elephant. Water went all over Big Mac. Poor Big Mac.

The elephant and his keeper were soon reunited, but Big Mac was most upset."

Big Macintosh: "An elephant pushed me! An elephant hooshed me!"

Narrator: "That night, he told the other animals all about it. Chief Thunderhooves and Cranky felt sorry for Big Mac, but still teased him."

Chief Thunderhooves: "First the rain, then an elephant. Whatever will you be afraid of next?"

Spike: "Never mind, Big Macintosh."

Narrator: "Murmured Spike."

Spike: "I think you are brave today, and really reliable too."
