Transcript
Narrator: "Rabbit was enjoying his life on TV Land, but he still had a lot to learn."

Mr. Garrison: You're a special yellow rabbit."

Narrator: "Said Mr. Garrison."

Mr. Garrison: "You can tackle Wolves or Goombas quite easily, but you must learn by your mistakes."

Narrator: "Rabbit knew what Mr. Garrison meant. He could well remember that dreadful accident on his first day."

Sonic: "Be careful with the wolves, Rabbit."

Narrator: "Said Sonic."

Sonic: "They don't like being bumped."

Narrator: "Everyone came to admire Rabbit."

Rabbit: "I'm a really splendid rabbit."

Narrator: "He thought, and suddenly danced up a sweat. A shower of sweat fell on Mr. Garrison's smart new hat.

Suddenly, The Guard blew his whistle, and Rabbit thought they had better go."

Rabbit: "Go on! Go on!"

Narrator: "He puffed to Sonic."

Sonic: "Don't push! Don't push!"

Narrator: "Replied Sonic. The Wolves were grumbling too."

Wolves: "Don't go so fast! Don't go so fast!"

Narrator: "But Rabbit didn't listen.

When at last, they reached the next station, two Wolves were beyond the platform. They had to go back to drop off their passengers. But no one seemed to know about Mr. Garrison's new hat, so Rabbit felt happier.

Presently, they came to the station, where Mario was waiting with his two band players."

Mario: "Hello, Rabbit."

Narrator: "Said Mario."

Mario: "Feeling Better? That's right.

Oh, that's my Guard's whistle. I must go. I don't know what Mr. Garrison would do without me to run this land."

Narrator: "And he puffed off importantly.

Sonic and Rabbit passed the field where Rabbit had had his accident. The fence was mended and the cows were back again.

They ended their journey, and rested before setting off for home. Rabbit was still wondering what Mr. Garrison would have to say about his new hat.

Next morning, he spoke severely to Rabbit."

Mr. Garrison: "If you can't behave, I shall take away your yellow fur, and have you painted brown."

Narrator: "Rabbit didn't like that at all.

He was very rough with the grumbling Wolves as he brought them to the platform."

Rabbit: "Don't talk! Come on!"

Narrator: "He called to them."

Rabbit: "Donkey Kong never has to fetch his own Wolves,"

Narrator: "He huffed to himself."

Rabbit: "And he only has brown fur."

Narrator: "To make Rabbit even more cross, this time no one came near him."

Rabbit: "I'll show them."

Narrator: "He thought.

Rabbit: "They think Donkey Kong is the only TV character who can tackle Wolves.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Narrator: "Puffed Rabbit."

Wolves: "You're going too fast! You're going too fast!"

Narrator: "Replied the Wolves. Rabbit laughed and tried to go faster, but the Wolves wouldn't let him."

Wolves: "We're going to stop."

Narrator: "They said."

Wolves: "We're going to stop!"

Rabbit: "What's the matter?"

Narrator: "Rabbit asked his Driver."

Rabbit's Driver: "The Brakes are hard on. Leak in the pot, most likely. You've banged the wolves enough to make a leak in anything."

Rabbit's Fireman: "How shall we mend it?"

Narrator: "Said Rabbit's Fireman."

Rabbit's Driver: "We'll do it with newspaper and a leather bootlace."

Narrator: "Replied Rabbit's Driver."

Guard: "Well, where is the bootlace coming from?"

Narrator: "Asked The Guard."

Rabbit's Driver: "Ask the passengers."

Narrator: "Said Rabbit's Driver."

Guard: "You have leather bootlace there, I see, sir."

Narrator: "Said the Guard to Sir Kay, a smarty dressed man."

Guard: "Please give it to me."

Sir Kay: "I won't."

Narrator: "Said Sir Kay."

Guard: "Then,"

Narrator: "Said the Guard,"

Guard: "I'm afraid we'll all have to stay where we are."

Narrator: "The passengers all said what a bad land it was. Then they told Sir Kay how bad he was instead. Everyone was very cross.

At last, he handed his laces over.

The Driver tied a pad of newspaper tightly around the hole in the pot, and Rabbit was able to take the Wolves.

But he was a sadder and wiser Rabbit, and took care never to bump Wolves again."
