Transcript
Narrator: "Percy the Small Engine was enjoying his work in the vicarage orchard. Birds were singing, and apples were ripening on the trees. It was a lovely day."

Rabbit: "Hello, Percy."

Narrator: "Said Rabbit.

Rabbit: "You look as bright and cheerful as my fur."

Percy: "Oh, I am."

Narrator: "Replied Percy."

Rabbit: "What's that noise?"

Percy: "It's the bees.

Narrator: "Laughed Percy."

Percy: "They're all in these boxy things called beehives. I'm taking them to the station. Bert says his bees make good honey, and he's giving some of them to his friends."

Narrator: "Just then, Thomas O'Malley hummed in."

Thomas O'Malley: "Take care, you two. Don't make the bees angry. They might sting you."

Narrator: "Rabbit didn't like being told what to do by an alley cat, and he buzzed away."

Thomas O'Malley: "Goodbye, Percy."

Narrator: "Called O'Malley, and set off to see Pooh at the next station.

Toulouse and Berlioz, the kittens, were busy arranging monkeys, but they scampered off when they saw O'Malley."

Thomas O'Malley: "I remember the first time I met those two."

Narrator: "Laughed O'Malley."

Thomas O'Malley: "They nearly made my eyes pop out. Rama soon put a stop to their games."

Pooh: "Rama is the only one who can keep Toulouse and Berlioz in order."

Narrator: "Agreed Pooh."

Pooh: "I sometimes call them 'The Bees'."

Thomas O'Malley: "A good name."

Narrator: "Replied O'Malley."

Thomas O'Malley: "They're terrors when they start buzzing around."

Narrator: "Rabbit bustled in."

Rabbit: "What's that, Pooh? Are you afraid of bees? They're only insects, after all, so don't let that cat tell you different."

Pooh: "His name is O'Malley, and he didn't. We..."

Rabbit: "I wouldn't care if hundreds were swarming around. I'd just blow at them and make them buzz off."

Pooh: "Buzz buzz buzz."

Narrator: "Retorted Pooh.

The next morning, Rabbit arrived at the station to collect his wolves. The passengers were excited, and keen to get on board. The platform was crowded, and the porter was in a hurry."

Porter: "Mind your backs."

Narrator: "He shouted.

Then, there was trouble. The beehive fell and broke open.

The station cleared like magic.

Rabbit heard a familiar buzzing. The bees were too cold to be cross, so they buzzed around the fireman, hoping he'd mend their hive, but he didn't understand, nor did his driver, so the bees turned to Rabbit. His fur was nice and warm."

Rabbit: "Buzz off! Buzz off!"

Narrator: "Hissed Rabbit.

One bee burnt his foot."

Bee: "Ooh, aah, aah, ow, oh!"

Narrator: "The bee thought Rabbit burnt him on purpose.

So it stung Rabbit right back on the nose."

Rabbit: "EEEE!"

Narrator: "Whistled Rabbit. He had had enough. So had his fireman and driver.

They didn't notice till' too late that they had left all of their wolves behind. They tried everything to get rid of the bees.

First, they spun around on the turntable, but to no avail.

They tried washing them off, but the bees clung harder to Rabbit's warm fur.

Then they tried smoking them off by going through a long tunnel, but still, the bees wouldn't go away.

Rabbit's Driver: "It's no good, Rabbit."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Rabbit's Driver: "We'll just have to go back to the orchard, and fetch another hive."

Narrator: "Rabbit's reply was drowned by the sound of buzzing.

Bert was waiting anxiously for Rabbit.

When he arrived, the bees swarmed straight into their new home."

Rabbit's Driver: "Come on, Rabbit."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Rabbit's Driver: "What you need now is a good hose-down."

Narrator: "Later that day, Rabbit was resting in his house, when Bert came to see him."

Bert: "Thank you for saving my bees."

Narrator: "He said."

Bert: "It's a pity it's not Christmas; then we could call you Rabbit the red-nosed rabbit!"

Narrator: "Everyone laughed, even Rabbit. But instead, they decided to call Rabbit "The Bees' Knees, which means they thought he was more useful than ever."
