The Runaway
Narrator: "Spike the Dragon was ill. Workmen had tried to make him better, but it was no use."

Hoity Toity: "Shining Armor must take you to the works."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity.

Spike felt very miserable.

Then, Hoity Toity spoke to Soarin."

Hoity Toity: "I want you to help Pipsqueak and Braeburn while Spike is away."

Narrator: "Soarin was delighted.

He already knew Pipsqueak, and soon made friends with Braeburn and Angel. Featherweight the Pegasus gave him a big welcome too."

Featherweight: "Take care of Spike's fillies."

Narrator: "He replied."

Featherweight: "He's sure to miss them while he's away."

Narrator: "Soarin was very gently with the fillies. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were very impressed."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "Such nice manners."

Narrator: "They told each other."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "It really is a pleasure to go out with him."

Narrator: "When Spike came back, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle told him how well Soarin had managed. Spike was so please to be home that he soon forgot to be jealous.

The works had left Spike's feet very stiff. It made his feet seem as if they weren't moving, when in fact they were.

As a result, he and his fillies often over ran the platform. Spike found this most embarrassing.

Gradually, his driver and fireman learned to be extra careful. But one day, Spike's fireman was ill and a relief man took his place.

The fireman had tied the ropes, and joined the driver and stationmaster on the platform to wait for Filthy Rich's passengers. The fireman had forgotten all about Spike's feet. Spike simmered happily."

Spike: "Not long now."

Narrator: "He thought, as he saw Filthy Rich slowly approaching.

But then, Spike felt his feet begin to move. He tried to stop, but he couldn't without his driver and fireman. He tried to whistle a warning, but he couldn't do that either. The conductor, driver, fireman and passengers were all stranded on the platform."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "Stop, stop!"

Narrator: "Shrieked Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. But Spike, with plenty of energy, kept on going. The alarm went off down the road."

Signalman: "Stop the runaway!"

Narrator: "There, ready for action, was Owlowiscious the Owl. The inspector had made a plan, and together they took off into the sky.

At last, Spike was tiring."

Spike: "I need to stop, I need to stop."

Narrator: "He panted wearily.

As they neared the next station, Spike saw Owlowiscious land.

They entered the platform slowly enough for the inspector to act. Judging his moment, the inspector jumped on Spike and stopped him.

At last, Spike stopped. Both he and the inspector were very relief. Then they thanked Owlowiscious."

Owlowiscious: "Thank nothing of it."

Narrator: "Whirled Owlowiscious."

Owlowiscious: "Glad to be of service anytime."

Inspector: "Phew!"

Narrator: "Remarked the inspector."

Inspector: "We must never let this happen again, Spike."

Narrator: "Wearily, Spike agreed with him."

Saved From Scrap
Narrator: "Hoity Toity works his animals hard, but they are very proud when he calls them 'really useful'."

Shining Armor: "I'm going to the scrapyard today."

Narrator: "Shining Armor called to Spike."

Spike: "What? Already? You're not that old!"

Narrator: "Replied Spike cheekily. Spike was only teasing.

The scrapyard is full of rusty old parts and machinery. They are broken into pieces, given to changelings, and Shining Armor takes them to the steelworks where they are melted down and used again.

Today, there was a surprise waiting for Shining Armor in the yard. It was a baby alligator."

Shining Armor: "Hello."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "You're not broken and rusty. What are you doing here?"

Gummy: "I'm Gummy. They're going to kill me next week."

Shining Armor: "What a shame."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Gummy: "My driver says I only need some new skin to be as good as new, but my owner says I'm old-fashion."

Narrator: "Shining Armor snorted."

Shining Armor: "People say I'm old-fashion, but I don't care. Hoity Toity says I'm a useful unicorn. What work did you do?"

Gummy: "My owner would send us from farm to farm. We threshed corn, hauled logs and did lots of other work. The children loved to see us."

Narrator: "Gummy shut his eyes, remembering."

Gummy: "Oh, yes. I like children."

Shining Armor: "Killed, what a shame. Killed, what a shame. I must help Gummy, I must!"

Narrator: "He thought of all his friends who like pets. But strangely, none of them would have room for a baby alligator at home."

Shining Armor: "It's a shame, it's a shame."

Narrator: "He hissed.

Then,"

Shining Armor: "Peep, peep! Why didn't I think of him before?"

Narrator: "There, on the platform was the very pony."

Vicar: "Hello, Shining Armor. You look upset. What's the matter, Charlie?"

Narrator: "He asked the driver."

Shining Armor's Driver: "There's a baby alligator in the scrapyard, Vicar. He'll be killed next week. Jem Cole says he never worked with a better alligator."

Shining Armor: "Do save him, sir. He saws wood and gives children rides."

Vicar: "We'll see."

Narrator: "Replied the vicar.

Jem Cole came on Saturday."

Jem Cole: "The reverend's coming to see you, Gummy. Maybe he'll buy you."

Gummy: "Do you think he will?"

Narrator: "Asked Gummy hopefully."

Jem Cole: "He will when I get you cleaned up."

Narrator: "The vicar and his two boys arrived that evening. Gummy hadn't felt so happy in months. He chuffered about the yard."

Vicar: "Show you paces, Gummy."

Narrator: "Said the vicar.

Later, he came out of the office smiling."

Vicar: "I've got him cheap, Jem! Cheap!"

Jem Cole: "Did you hear that, Gummy?"

Narrator: "Cried Jem."

Jem Cole: "The reverend saved you, and you'll live at the vicarage now."

Gummy: "Peep, peep!"

Narrator: "Whistled Gummy.

Now, Gummy's home is in the vicarage orchard, and he sees Shining Armor everyday. His skin is spotless, and his tail shines. Gummy likes his work, but his happiest day is the church fair.

With a wooden cart attached to him, he chuffers around the orchard, giving rides to children.

Long afterwards, you will see him shut his eyes, remembering."

Gummy: "I like children."

Narrator: "He whispers happily."

Big Horses
Narrator: "One morning, Big Macintosh was in the yard eating a large meal."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "That's the third meal you've had today, Big Mac."

Narrator: "Said Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Some might say you're being rather greedy."

Big Macintosh: "I'm an important horse."

Narrator: "Replied Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "Important horses need plenty of food, but I doubt that you would understand that, Cranky."

Narrator: "Cranky snorted and went about his work.

Later, Big Mac was taking on water from a standpipe because the water fountain was under repair."

Soarin: "I wouldn't drink too much of that water if I were you, Big Mac. It might give you a stomach ache."

Big Macintosh: "Pah!"

Narrator: "Said Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "What's this? Educating Big Mac Day? First Cranky, now you Soarin. Big horses have needs! Little ponies are just annoying!"

Soarin: "Don't say I didn't warn you."

Narrator: "Laughed Soarin.

Later, Big Mac came into the yard at the big station."

Big Macintosh: "That's what I need."

Narrator: "Exclaimed Big Mac. There, emerging out of the sheds, were two shiny carts."

Big Macintosh: "Now if I had two carts of food,"

Narrator: "Said Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "I wouldn't need to stop so often, and I wouldn't have to listen to silly, little animals."

Big Macintosh's Driver: "Those carts belong to a visitor."

Narrator: "Replied his driver. Discord sidled up alongside."

Discord: "Everyone knows that carts are a mark of distinction, but I'm afraid that no amount of carts will save you in the end. We draconequus are taking over, and we don't need carts of food to make us important. Not even one."

Narrator: "Big Mac was most upset. He was feeling just the same next day."

Big Macintosh: "I'm not happy."

Soarin: "I know."

Narrator: "Said Soarin."

Soarin: "It's stomach ache."

Big Macintosh: "It's not stomach ache."

Narrator: "Protested Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "It's,"

Filthy Rich: "Of course, it is."

Narrator: "Interrupted Filthy Rich."

Filthy Rich: "That water's bad. Have a good wash out, then you'll feel a different horse. Your body must be full of sludge."

Big Macintosh: "Don't be vulgar!"

Narrator: "Huffed Big Mac. He backed down onto his line of buffaloes hissing mournfully."

Hoity Toity: "Cheer up, Big Mac."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Big Macnitosh "I can't, sir. Is it true what Discord said, sir?"

Hoity Toity: "What does he say?"

Big Macintosh: "That draconequus are taking over."

Hoity Toity: "Don't worry, Big Mac. That will never happen in my town."

Big Macintosh: "And one more thing, sir. Why did the visitor had two carts of food?"

Hoity Toity: "Because he lives in a town with long distances between food areas."

Narrator: "Big Mac felt better.

But Filthy Rich started complaining. He banged some changelings angrily."

Filthy Rich: "I always work hard enough for two!"

Narrator: "He puffed."

Filthy Rich: "I deserve another cart."

Narrator: "Soarin whispered something to Night Light. He was going to play a trick on Filthy Rich."

Soarin: "Filthy Rich,"

Narrator: "He asked."

Soarin: "Would you like my carts?"

Filthy Rich: "Yours? What have you got to do with carts?"

Soarin: "All right."

Narrator: "Said Soarin."

Soarin: "The deal's off. Would you like them, Night Light?"

Night Light: "I wouldn't deprive you of the honor."

Narrator: "Replied Night Light."

Soarin: "It is a great honor."

Narrator: "Continued Soarin thoughtfully."

Soarin: "But I'm only a pegasus. Perhaps Cranky might..."

Filthy Rich: "I'm sorry I was rude."

Narrator: "Said Filthy Rich hastily."

Filthy Rich: "How many carts have you? And when can I have them?"

Soarin: "Ah, hmm. I have six, and you can have them this evening."

Filthy Rich: "Six lovely carts!"

Narrator: "Chortled Filthy Rich."

Filthy Rich: "What a splendid sight I'll be."

Narrator: "Filthy Rich was excited all day."

Filthy Rich: "Do you think it'll be alright?"

Narrator: "He asked for the umpteenth time."

Soarin: "Of course."

Narrator: "Said Soarin."

Soarin: "They're already now."

Narrator: "The other animals waited where they can each get a good view.

But Filthy Rich wasn't a splendid sight at all. His six carts were very old, dirty and filled with sludge."

Voice: "Have a good wash out, Filthy Rich?"

Narrator: "Called a voice."

Voice: "That's right! You'll feel a different horse now."

Narrator: "Filthy Rich was not sure, but he thought the voice belonged to Big Macintosh's."

Wrong Road
Narrator: "Spike's route is important and so is Shining Armor's. But their paths and bridges are not so strong as those on the main road. Hoity Toity does not allow the heavier animals like Big Macintosh to walk on them.

But one day, the way Big Mac was talking, you would have thought Hoity Toity had given this order for quite another reason."

Big Macintosh: "It's not fair!"

Narrator: "Grumbled Big Mac."

Shining Armor: "What isn't fair?"

Narrator: "Ask Shining Armor."

Big Macintosh: "Letting celebrity ponies do farm horses' work."

Shining Armor: "Never mind, Big Mac. I'm sure Fancy Pants will let you take his changelings sometimes."

Narrator: "Big Mac spluttered."

Big Macintosh: "I won't take Fancy Pants's dirty changelings! I won't do celebrity pony work!"

Shining Armor: "Why not? It would be a nice change."

Big Macintosh: "Hoity Toity would never approve."

Narrator: "Huffed Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "Celebrity pony work is vulgar!"

Narrator: "Big Mac puffed away. Shining Armor chuckled and followed him to the train station.

Every evening the two stallions took two sets of fast buffaloes from the station. Big Mac always leaves first with an express for the main road. Shining Armor follows five minutes later with his buffaloes for the branch road. Usually everything runs like clockwork. But tonight there was trouble. A lady in a green floppy hat was saying goodbye to a friend. It was nearly time for Big Mac to start. The fireman looked back towards the back of the line and saw something green waving."

Big Macintosh's Fireman: "Right away, mate!"

Narrator: "He thought the conductor had waved his flag. Big Mac started. Leaving luggage, his passengers and the conductor all standing on the platform. Everyone was very surprised and cross.

To make matters worse, by the time Big Mac had been stopped and brought back, Shining Armor was already late with his buffaloes. So now, he set off first.

But the signalman at the junction wasn't told about the change. By mistake, he sent Shining Armor along the main road. Big Mac was sent along the branch, and arrived cold and cross on one of the sidings near the harbor.

Next morning, Snips and Snails peeped into the yard. There were no changelings for them but they didn't mind that. Teasing Big Mac would be much better fun."

Snips: "What's that?"

Narrator: "Asked Snips."

Snails: "Shh!"

Narrator: "Whispered Snails."

Snails: "It's Big Macintosh."

Snips: "It looks like Big Mac, but it can't be. Big Mac never comes on the branch roads. He thinks them vulgar."

Narrator: "Big Mac pretend he hadn't heard."

Snails: "If it isn't Big Mac,"

Narrator: "Said Snails."

Snails: "It's just a pile of old iron."

Snips: "Which we better take to the scrapyard."

Snails: "No Snips. This lot's useless for scrap. We'll take it to the harbor and dumb it in the sea."

Narrator: "Big Mac was alarmed."

Big Macintosh: "I am Big Mac! Stop! Stop!"

Narrator: "When Fancy Pants suddenly arrived, Big Mac thought him the most beautiful site he'd ever seen."

Big Mac: "Fancy Pants, my dear pony, save me."

Narrator: "Fancy Pants quickly sized up the situation and threatened to take away the changelings he brought for Snips and Snails. This made the unicorns behave at once. Big Mac thought Fancy Pants was wonderful."

Big Macintosh: "Those little demons. How do you do it?"

Fancy Pants: "Ah, well."

Narrator: "Said Fancy Pants."

Fancy Pants: "It's just a knack."

Narrator: "Big Mac still believes that Fancy Pants saved his life. But we know the unicorns were only teasing. Don't we?"

No Joke for Cranky
Narrator: "Cranky is a mixed-traffic donkey. He can take both changelings and buffaloes. He's proud of his smart brown fur and blonde wig, and so is his driver."

Cranky Doodle Donkey's Driver: "Everyone says you brighten up their day, Cranky."

Narrator: "One morning, Cranky whistled loudly at the other animals."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Look at me! I am the smartest, most useful animal on the path!"

Spike: "Rubbish!"

Narrator: "Replied Spike."

Spike: "We're all useful! Hoity Toity says so, and he's head of the whole town."

Pipsqueak: "You know what, Cranky?"

Narrator: "Added Pipsqueak."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What?"

Narrator: "Replied Cranky."

Pipsqueak: "You're getting all puffed up."

Narrator: "Cranky huffed away.

Later, he was still boasting."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I'm the pride of the path."

Big Macintosh: "I saw you taking changelings."

Narrator: "Snorted Big Macintosh."

Big Macintosh: "You're only a goods donkey."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I take buffaloes too!"

Big Macintosh: "Not as mush as I do."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "But Hoity Toity has plans for me."

Narrator: "Cranky was only making this up, but Big Mac believed him."

Big Macintosh: "What plans?"

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Ah, wait and see.

Oh dear."

Narrator: "He thought."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Now what'll I do?"

Narrator: "Spike was arranging shiny new buffaloes."

Spike: "Good morning, Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Are those buffaloes for me?"

Narrator: "Asked Cranky hopefully."

Spike: "No. These are for Big Mac's express. I'll fetch your changelings next."

Narrator: "But Cranky was going to play a trick on the other animals."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Actually, Spike, I'm taking the buffaloes. Hoity Toity asked me to tell you."

Spike: "What about the changelings?"

Narrator: "Asked Spike."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Ah, give them Big Mac."

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

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Spike's Driver: "Orders are orders."

Narrator: "So when Cranky's driver returned, Cranky was hooked up to the buffaloes and he puffed away.

Spike returned with the changelings, and a few minutes later, Big Mac arrived."

Big Macintosh: "Where's the express?"

Narrator: "Spike told him about Cranky."

Spike: "And so here are your changelings."

Narrator: "Big Mac was very cross, and so was his driver."

Big Macintosh's Driver: "Wait till Hoity Toity hears about this!"

Narrator: "Meanwhile, Cranky was enjoying himself enormously."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What a clever plan, what a clever plan!"

Narrator: "He chuffed.

Then he saw Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "Some jokes are funny, but not this one Cranky. You have caused confusion!"

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Yes, sir."

Narrator: "Said Cranky."

Hoity Toity: "You will now stay in your house until you are wanted!"

Narrator: "The other animals teased Cranky."

Big Macintosh: "I wonder who'll be pulling the express today."

Narrator: "Said Big Mac."

Filthy Rich: "I expect it'll be you."

Narrator: "Replied Filthy Rich."

Filthy Rich: "Cranky is stuck in his house for being silly."

Narrator: "Cranky felt sad.

Next morning, he went back to work."

Spike: "Hello."

Narrator: "Whistled Spike."

Spike: "Good to see you out and about again."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I'm sorry I tricked you."

Narrator: "Said Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Are these my changelings?"

Spike: "Yes."

Narrator: "Replied Spike kindly."

Spike: "They are pleased to have you back."

Narrator: "Cranky set off to the harbor with his line of changelings. He bustled about all day, pushing and pulling them into place."

Cranky Doodle Donkey's Driver: "Time to go home now, Cranky."

Narrator: "Said his driver at last."

Cranky Doodle Donkey's Driver: "No changelings or passengers, just we two."

Narrator: "But his driver was wrong."

Jeremiah Jobling: "Excuse me."

Narrator: "Called a man."

Jeremiah Jobling: "I have a meeting with Hoity Toity and I mustn't be late. May I come back with you?"

Cranky Doodle Donkey's Driver: "Of course."

Narrator: "Replied Cranky's driver. Then he whispered to Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey's Driver: "This gentleman is a town inspector."

Narrator: "Cranky was most impressed.

He walked along the path as smoothly and quickly as he could

Hoity Toity was waiting on the platform, and the town inspector greeted them warmly."

Jeremiah Jobling: "This clever donkey gave me a splendid walk. You must be proud of him."

Hoity Toity: "Yes, indeed. Once again you are a Really Useful Donkey."

Baa!
Narrator: "In summer, Ponyville gleams in the sun, and every station is filled with flowers.

Pipsqueak had been working at the docks all day and was tired of the smell of fish."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "Phew. Come on, Pipsqueak."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "Time to go home."

Pipsqueak: "Please, sir, can I have a shower first?"

Pipsqueak's Driver: "Sorry, Pipsqueak. There isn't time. Hoity Toity is waiting for us at the library."

Hoity Toity: "There is to be a festival of flowers."

Narrator: "Announced Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "This sign saying "Best Dressed Station" will be awarded to the winner. Please help with the arrangements."

Narrator: "The animals were excited."

Spike: "My favorite station is Ffarquhar."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Braeburn: "Mine is Maithwaite."

Narrator: "Said Braeburn."

Braeburn: "Pipsqueak, what's yours?"

Narrator: "Pipsqueak was too tired to think properly."

Pipsqueak: "The docks."

Narrator: "He murmured."

Spike: "Ha!"

Narrator: "Sniffed Spike."

Spike: "We can tell."

Narrator: "Braeburn laughed."

Braeburn: "The docks are full of fish, not flowers."

Pipsqueak: "Alright then, Appleloosa."

Braeburn: "That's my home."

Narrator: "Replied Braeburn."

Pipsqueak: "That's why I like it, especially when you're there and not here saying I'm silly. Good night."

Narrator: "Next morning, Pipsqueak was proud to be sparkling again. His line of changelings were being loaded with vegetables and flowers."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "These are for Maithwaite."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "They'll display them on the platform."

Narrator: "On the way, Pipsqueak saw Owlowiscious."

Pipsqueak: "Why is Owlowiscious flying about?"

Narrator: "He thought."

Pipsqueak: "I haven't time for a race today."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "What's that?"

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "Why bless me, it's a ram!"

Pipsqueak: "Now we'll be late! I should have known Owlowiscious was trying to tell us something."

Ram: "Baa!"

Pipsqueak's Fireman: "I've got just the ticket to get him off the path."

Narrator: "Cried the fireman."

Pipsqueak's Fireman: "Food."

Narrator: "He found some cabbage leaves. The ram chomped happily away."

Pipsqueak: "Please can we go now?"

Ram: "Baa!"

Narrator: "When Pipsqueak arrived at the station, his driver told the stationmaster what had happened."

Stationmaster: "I've heard about this ram. He's always hungry."

Narrator: "A little while later, the station was decked with flowers."

Pipsqueak: "Maithwaite will definitely win first price."

Narrator: "Decided Pipsqueak.

He left his buffaloes and went to a siding where no one could see him."

Pipsqueak: "(Yawn) Time for a snooze."

Narrator: "He thought. But it wasn't."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "We better see what all that noise is about."

Narrator: "Said his driver.

Pipsqueak was shocked. Flowers were scattered everywhere."

Pipsqueak: "It's that ram. He's made a meal out of the station too."

Narrator: "Then there was trouble."

Passengers: "We can't get into the waiting room!"

Narrator: "The passengers cried."

Stationmaster: "Why not?"

Narrator: "Asked the stationmaster."

Passengers: "The ram won't let us!"

Narrator: "Everyone looked at the ram, and the ram looked at them."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "He's not alone."

Narrator: "Exclaimed Pipsqueak's driver."

Boys: "Let us out!"

Narrator: "Begged the boys."

Boys: "We're sorry!"

Stationmaster: "Well, look at that!"

Narrator: "Said the stationmaster."

Stationmaster: "The boys are the culprits, not the ram. He was just making sure they did no more damage."

Boys: "We thought it would be fun, but it wasn't. We'll put everything back."

Narrator: "A few days, Hoity Toity invited some of the animals to Maithwaite, winner of the Best Dressed Station award."

Pipsqueak: "I'm sorry, Braeburn."

Narrator: "Whispered Pipsqueak."

Braeburn: "You made the right choice."

Narrator: "Then Hoity Toity made an announcement."

Hoity Toity: "There is one more prize for our good friend, the ram. Here it is. And I'll eat my hat if you don't like it."

Narrator: "Then Owlowiscious landed. The wind from his wings blew Hoity Toity's hat off."

Ram: (while eating Hoity Toity's hat) "Baa!"

Hoity Toity: "Well, seems I wouldn't be able to eat my hat even if I had to."

Narrator: "Everyone laughed, and the only sound from the ram was a contented hiccup."

Ram: (Hiccups)

Woolly Bear
Narrator: "In the summer, the workcrews cut the long grass along the roads, raking it up for heaps to dry in the sun.

At this time of year, Pipsqueak stops where they have been cutting. The men give them to the changelings, and he takes them to the station.

Braeburn then takes them to the hills for the farmers to feed their stock."

Pipsqueak: "Wheesh!"

Narrator: "Pipsqueak gave a ghostly whistle."

Pipsqueak: "Don't be frightened, Spike!"

Narrator: "He laughed."

Pipsqueak: "It's only me!"

Spike: "Your ugly fizz is enough to frighten anyone!"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "You're like..."

Pipsqueak: "Ugly, indeed! I'm..."

Spike: "A white caterpillar with brown spots!"

Narrator: "Continued Spike firmly."

Spike: "You crawl like one, too."

Pipsqueak: "I don't!"

Spike: "Who's been late every afternoon this week?"

Pipsqueak: "It's the hay!"

Spike: "I can't help that."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "Time's time, and Hoity Toity's relying on me to keep it! I can't if you crawl about in the hay till all hours!"

Pipsqueak: "'White caterpillar' indeed!"

Narrator: "Fumed Pipsqueak, as he set off to collect some hay to take to the harbor."

Pipsqueak: "Everyone says I'm handsome, or at least nearly everyone. Anyway, my tail is better than Spike's scales. Spike says I'm always late."

Narrator: "He grumbled."

Pipsqueak: "I'm never late, or at least only a few minutes. What's that to Spike? He can always catch up time further on."

Narrator: "All the same, he and his driver decided to start home early.

Then came trouble."

(CRASH!)

"A crate of treacle was upset all over Pipsqueak.

Pipsqueak was cross.

He was still sticky when he puffed away.

The wind was blowing fiercely."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "Look at that!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed the driver.

The wind caught the piled hay, tossing it up and over the road. The path climbed here."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "Take a run at it, Pipsqueak!"

Narrator: "His driver advised.

Pipsqueak gathered speed, but the hay made the road slippery, and his hooves wouldn't grip. Time after time, he stalled with spinning hooves and had to wait till the path ahead was cleared before he could start again.

Everyone was waiting. Spike seethed impatiently."

Spike: "Ten minutes late! I warned him! Passengers will complain, and Hoity Toity..."

(Pipsqueak whistles)

Narrator: "Then, they all saw Pipsqueak. They laughed and shouted."

(Passengers laugh)

Pipsqueak: "Sorry I'm late!"

Narrator: "Pipsqueak panted."

Spike: "Look what's crawled out of the hay!"

Narrator: "Teased Spike."

Pipsqueak: "What's wrong?"

Narrator: "Asked Pipsqueak."

Spike: "Talk about hairy caterpillars!"

Narrator: "Puffed Spike."

Spike: "It's worth being late to have seen you."

Narrator: "When Pipsqueak came home, his driver showed him what he looked like in a mirror."

Pipsqueak: "Bust my hooves! No wonder they all laughed. I'm just like a woolly bear! Please clean me before Braeburn comes."

Narrator: "But it was no good. Spike told Braeburn all about it.

Instead of talking about sensible things like playing ghosts, Spike and Braeburn made jokes about woolly bear caterpillars, and other creatures which crawl about in hay. They laughed a lot, but Pipsqueak thought they were being really silly indeed."

Night Light and Hondo Flanks
Narrator: "Night Light and Hondo Flanks are unicorns, and have arrived from Canterlot to help Hoity Toity, but only one unicorn had been expected. The unicorns meant well, but did cause confusion. Hoity Toity had given them numbers; Night Light 9, and Hondo Flanks 10, but he was still planning to send one unicorn home.

There was a pony named Dr. Caballeron in the yard that had taken a dislike to Hondo. Things always went wrong when he had to take him out. His work was late, and he was blamed. Hondo began to worry.

Night Light was angry."

Night Light: "You're a muckle nuisance!"

Narrator: "Said Night Light."

Night Light: "It's to leave you behind I'd be wanting!"

Dr. Caballeron: "You can't."

Narrator: "Said Dr. Caballeron."

Dr. Caballeron: "I'm essential."

Night Light: "Ach! Are you?"

Narrator: "Night Light burst out."

Night Light: "You're nothing but a screechin' and a noise when all's said and done. Spite Hondo, would you? Take that!"

Dr. Caballeron: "Ow! Oh!"

Narrator: "Cried Dr. Caballeron."

Night Light: "There's more coming, should you misbehave."

Narrator: "Dr. Caballeron behaved better after that. Until one day, Night Light had an accident.

The road was slippery. He couldn't stop in time."

(CRASH!)

"Night Light wasn't hurt, but Hoity Toity was most annoyed."

Hoity Toity: "I am disappointed, Night Light. I did not expect such, um... clumsiness from you.

I have decided to send Hondo Flanks back and keep you."

Night Light: "I'm sorry, sir."

Narrator: "Said Night Light."

Hoity Toity: "I should think so, too. You have upset my arrangements. Now Cranky Doodle Donkey will have to help with the goods work, while you are mended. Cranky won't like that."

Narrator: "Hoity Toity was right. Cranky grumbled dreadfully about extra work."

Hondo Flanks: "Anyone would think,"

Narrator: "Said Hondo."

Hondo Flanks: "That Night Light had his accident on purpose.

I heard tell about a donkey and some tar barrels."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Shut up!"

Narrator: "Said Cranky."

Cranky: "It's not funny!"

Narrator: "He didn't like to be reminded of his own accident."

Hondo Flanks: "Well, well, well. Surely, Cranky, it wasn't you. You didn't say!"

Narrator: "Cranky didn't say. He slouched sulkily away."

Dr. Caballeron: "Cranky is cross."

Narrator: "Snickered Dr. Caballeron."

Dr. Caballeron: "We'll try to make him crosser still."

Changelings: "Hold back!"

Narrator: "Giggled the changelings to each other.

Cranky did his best, but he was exhausted when they reached Shining Armor's station.

Luckily, Hondo Flanks was there."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Help me up the hill, please."

Narrator: "Panted Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "These changelings are playing tricks."

Hondo Flanks: "We'll show them!"

Narrator: "Said Hondo.

Slowly but surely, the snorting animals forced the changelings up the hill, but Cranky was losing breath."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I can't do it! I can't do it!"

Hondo Flanks: "Leave it to me!"

Narrator: "Shouted Hondo Flanks.

The conductor was anxious."

Conductor: "Go steady! Dr. Caballeron's breaking!"

Narrator: "Dr. Caballeron was in pieces.

No one had been hurt, and soon Shining Armor came to clear the mess. Hoity Toity was on board."

Hoity Toity: "I might have known it would be Hondo Flanks!"

Narrator: "He said."

Shining Armor: "Hondo was grand, sir."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "Cranky had no breath left, but Hondo worked hard enough for three. I heard him from my yard."

Hoity Toity: "Two would have been enough."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "I want to be fair, Hondo, but I don't know. I really don't know."

Narrator: "Hoity Toity was making up his mind about which unicorn to send away. But that's another story."

A Bad Day for Hamm
Narrator: "Woody and Buzz Lightyear work on the land that weaves around lakes and play rooms. Their fillies have many visitors, and the toys are proud to run the path, come rain or shine.

The toys will never let their passengers down, but they are old, and they tire more easily.

Their drivers understood this, and they spoke kindly to them."

Woody and Buzz Lightyear's Drivers: "There's more than enough work for both of you on this land. The manager is sending two more toys to help us run the path."

Narrator: "Woody and Buzz Lightyear were pleased with this news, and promised to give the new toys a big welcome.

When Hamm and Rex arrived, they found that they had much to learn."

Hamm: "What a small room."

Narrator: "Grunted Hamm."

Hamm: "This won't do at all. We're much too good for this old shack."

Rex: "I think it's nice."

Narrator: "Said Rex."

Hamm: "Humph."

Narrator: "Replied Hamm."

Hamm: "What's that rubbish?"

Rex: "Shh. "

Narrator: "Said Rex."

Rex: "That's Woody. He's famous."

Narrator: "And then he whispered to Woody."

Rex: "I'm sorry, Woody, Hamm is upset now, but he's quite nice, really.

Narrator: "Woody felt sorry for Rex."

Hamm's Fireman: "Now, Hamm,"

Narrator: "Said the fireman"

Hamm's Fireman: "I will get you ready for work."

Hamm: "I'm tired! Let Rex go; he'd love it!"

Hamm's Fireman: "No, you're first!"

Narrator: "Hamm puffed away to fetch his fillies. He didn't like the look of them at all."

Hamm: "What ever next? Those aren't fillies, they're calves!"

Fillies: "Oh!"

Narrator: "Screamed the Fillies."

Fillies: "What a horrid toy!"

Hamm: "It's not what I'm used to."

Narrator: "Clanked Hamm.

He rolled to the platform just as Big Macintosh arrived."

Hamm: "Hello, who are you?"

Big Macintosh: "I'm Big Mac. Who are you?"

Hamm: "I'm Hamm. I've heard of you. You're a leader. So am I, but I'm used to new fillies, not these calves! Do you have new buffaloes? I see you do."

Big Macintosh: "We must have a chat."

Hamm: "Sorry, I can't stop. We must keep time, you know."

Narrator: "Big Mac was speechless!

Clouds of steam filled the air as Hamm huffed and puffed along the road.

He was still cross when they reached the top station. Hamm was hoping for a rest, but his driver thought otherwise."

Hamm's Driver: "We'll leave the fillies now, and fetch some mutant toys from the quarry."

Hamm: "Mutant Toys?"

Narrator: "Snorted Hamm."

Hamm: "Mutant Toys? I won't, so there!"

Narrator: "Hamm was about to cause a great deal of trouble."

Hamm: "Told you."

Narrator: "Said Hamm.

By the time workmen came to rescue him, Hamm was feeling rather silly. To make matters worse, there stood Hoity Toity. His message to Hamm was brief and blunt."

Hoity Toity: "I shall talk to you later!"

Narrator: "Then he and the fireman left with Rex. Hamm felt sillier still."

Hamm's Driver: "Come on,"

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Hamm's Driver: "Let's get you back onto the road."

Narrator: "When Hamm crawled home, he found Hoity Toity waiting for him."

Hoity Toity: "You're a very naughty piggy bank!

I hope I can trust you to behave when you next come out of this room."

Narrator: "After hearing that, I'm sure Hamm will. Aren't you?"

Grey Pegasus
Narrator: "Hamm is very proud of his big feet. They hold him well to the ground, but they are unusual.

One day, the other toys wouldn't stop teasing him."

The Toys: "Look at his pegasus feet!"

Narrator: "They joked."

Hamm: "Be quiet!"

Narrator: "Snorted Hamm."

Hamm: "You're jealous!"

Rex: "Don't worry."

Narrator: "Soothed Rex."

Rex: "The toys all teased me about my special head, until they learned how useful it is."

Hamm: "Did you hear that?"

Narrator: "Huffed Hamm."

Hamm: "My feet are special, like Rex's head! I can go faster than any of you."

Narrator: "Woody had a plan to make Hamm see sense."

Woody: "With your grand feet, Hamm,"

Narrator: "Said Woody,"

Woody: "You're just the toy to tackle Score."

Hamm: "Who's Score?"

Woody: "That grey pegasus over there."

Narrator: "Replied Woody."

Woody: "Listen."

Narrator: "The grey pegasus was making rude remarks about the toys."

Score: "Roads are no good, tun them into clouds, pull em' up, turn them into clouds! Roads are no good, tun them into clouds, pull em' up, turn them into clouds!"

Hamm: "Don't worry."

Narrator: "Said Hamm."

Hamm: "Leave him to me. I'll send him packing.

Score will soon get a run for his money."

Narrator: "Later that morning, Score was at the level crossing."

Score: "Huh. You're Hamm, I suppose."

Narrator: "Hamm was standing no nonsense."

Hamm: "And you, I suppose, are Score? Yes, I've heard of you."

Score: "And I've heard of you. You swank around with your pegasus feet, pretending you're as good as me."

Hamm: "Actually, I'm better. Good-bye."

Narrator: "Score chuffered on, fuming.

Later that day, Hamm brought a special load down after the last toy had gone.

When he had reached the road, he saw Score traveling home. Hamm tried to attract his attention."

Hamm: "Peep peep peep!"

Narrator: "Score took no notice. There was barely room to pass.

Hamm was cross."

Hamm: "Get out of my way, you great clumsy sky hog!"

Score: "Ha! I don't move for imitation pegasus ponies. You don't own the sky, get out of my way!"

Narrator: "Then there was trouble."

(CRASH!)

Hamm: "Aaah!"

Narrator: "Cried Hamm."

Hamm: "That was your fault."

Score: "No it wasn't. It was yours."

Narrator: "Everyone was arguing over who was to blame."

Policeman: "Hello, hello, hello."

Narrator: "Said a policeman, ominously."

Policeman: "And what's going on here?"

Narrator: "This made everyone stop arguing. They set to work clearing up the mess instead.

Next day, they put up a fence between the paths.

Then, they went away, taking Score with them.

Hamm thought he had made Score go away.

He talked of nothing but grey pegasus ponies."

Woody: "Oh, dear."

Narrator: "Thought Woody."

Woody: "He's worse than ever. I'm sorry my plan was no good."

Slinky: "Never mind."

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "We'll think of something else."

Narrator: "But they had no need to do that.

Some boys arrived instead. They pointed to Hamm and cried,"

Boys: "Look, here's Hamm. He tried to race a grey pegasus pony, but the pegasus pony nearly beat him!"

Narrator: "Hamm never mentions grey pegasus ponies now."

Trust Spike
Narrator: "Spike the Dragon was feeling bright and cheerful. It was a splendid day."

Spike: "Good morning!"

Narrator: "He whistled to some cows, but the cows didn't reply."

Spike: "Never mind."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "They're busy with their breakfast."

Narrator: "Next, he saw Angel."

Spike: "Hello, Angel. Care for a race today?"

Narrator: "But all Angel could say was,"

Angel: "Ouch! That's another hole in the road."

Spike: "I'm sorry, Angel."

Narrator: "Smiled Spike.

Spike was still in good spirits when Angel arrived at the next station."

Spike: "Bad luck, Angel. Now if you're a dragon, you would run a reliable path."

Angel: "Huh!"

Narrator: "Replied Angel."

Angel: "Ponyville was suppose to deliver tar to mend the pet path two weeks ago. You can't trust thing that runs on normal paths."

Spike: "I run on a normal path. You can trust me, Angel. I see if I can find out what's happened."

Narrator: "And Spike puffed away towards the big station.

Cranky was snorting about in the yard."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "It's too bad!"

Narrator: "He grumbled."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Pipsqueak goes to work at the harbor and I do his jobs, here, there and everywhere! Take that!"

Changelings: "Ooh!"

Narrator: "Groaned the changelings."

Changelings: "Just you wait. We'll show you."

Narrator: "Big Macintosh laughed."

Big Macintosh: "I'll tell you what, Cranky. If you pretended to be ill everywhere, you couldn't arrange changelings here, or go to the quarry there, could you?"

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What a good idea."

Narrator: "Agreed Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Look, here comes Spike. I'll start pretending now."

Narrator: "Spike was sorry to see the animals looking miserable."

Spike: "Cheer up."

Narrator: "He puffed."

Spike: "It's a beautiful day."

Big Macintosh: "Yes."

Narrator: "Grumbled Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "But not for Cranky."

Spike: "What's the matter?"

Narrator: "Asked Spike."

Big Macintosh: "He's sick."

Narrator: "Replied Big Mac."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Yes, he is. I mean, I am."

Narrator: "Stuttered Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I don't feel well at all."

Spike: "Don't worry."

Narrator: "Said Spike kindly."

Spike: "I'll help out if you're ill."

Narrator: "Big Mac and Cranky sniggered quietly to each other.

Some of Cranky's changelings were given to Spike, and he went to the quarry. The changelings were still cross."

Changelings: "We couldn't pay Cranky back for bumping us, so we'll play tricks on Spike instead. One animal is as good as another."

Narrator: "But Spike didn't hear them. He collected all the stone from the quarry and set off back to the junction.

Danger lay ahead."

Changelings: "Now for our plan."

Narrator: "Giggled the changelings."

Changelings: "Go faster, go faster!"

Narrator: "They pushed Spike passed the turn."

Spike's Driver: "Slow down!"

Narrator: "Called Spike's driver. And applied the brakes.

(CRASH!)

Poor Spike stood dazed and surprised in a muddy pond, as a toad eyed him suspiciously."

Spike: "Bust my scales."

Narrator: "Muttered Spike."

Spike: "The day started so well too."

Narrator: "Soarin pulled away the changelings, and Shining Armor helped Spike back to the junction.

Suddenly, Spike remembered the missing tar. He told Shining Armor all about it."

Shining Armor: "That's strange."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "A cart full of tar has been left at my station. That must be it. Driver will make sure it gets to Angel now."

Narrator: "Later, Cranky spoke to Spike."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I'm sorry about your accident."

Narrator: "He muttered."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "And so is Big Mac We didn't mean to get you into trouble."

Big Macintosh: "No, indeed."

Narrator: "Spluttered Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "A mere misunderstanding, Spike. All's well that ends well."

Narrator: "Just then, Angel arrived. He looked much more cheerful."

Angel: "My path's being mended now."

Spike: "Oh, I am glad."

Narrator: "Replied Spike."

Angel: "Thanks for all you did."

Narrator: "Added Angel."

Angel: "Now I know I can trust a dragon, especially if his name is Spike."

Narrator: "Big Mac and Cranky puffed silently away to the library, but Spike still had company."

Spike: "Well, well."

Narrator: "He sighed."

Spike: "What a day for surprises."

Narrator: "The toad, who was looking forward to a ride home, noisily agreed."

Cranky Goes Buzz Buzz
Narrator: "Gummy the Alligator was enjoying his work in the vicarage orchard. Birds were singing, and apples were ripening on the trees. It was a lovely day."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Hello, Gummy."

Narrator: "Said Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "You look as bright and cheerful as my brown fur."

Gummy: "Oh, I am."

Narrator: "Replied Gummy."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What's that noise?"

Gummy: "It's the bees."

Narrator: "Laughed Gummy."

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

Narrator: "Just then, Fancy Pants the Unicorn hummed in."

Fancy Pants: "Take care, you two. Don't make the bees angry. They might sting you."

Narrator: "Cranky didn't like being told what to do by a celebrity pony, and he buzzed away."

Fancy Pants: "Goodbye, Gummy."

Narrator: "Called Fancy Pants, and set off to see Soarin at the next station.

Snips and Snails, the unicorns, were busy arranging changelings, but they scampered off when they saw Fancy Pants."

Fancy Pants: "I remember the first time I met those two."

Narrator: "Laughed Fancy Pants."

Fancy Pants: "They nearly made my eyes pop out. Shining Armor soon put a stop to their games."

Soarin: "Shining Armor is the only one who can keep Snips and Snails in order."

Narrator: "Chuckled Soarin."

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

Fancy Pants: "A good name."

Narrator: "Replied Fancy Pants."

Filthy Rich: "They're terrors when they start buzzing around."

Narrator: "Cranky bustled in."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What's that, Soarin? Are you afraid of bees? They're only insects, after all, so don't let that buzzbox pony tell you different."

Soarin: "His name is Fancy Pants, and he didn't. We..."

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

Soarin: "Buzz buzz buzz."

Narrator: "Retorted Soarin.

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

The Porter: "Mind your backs."

Narrator: "He shouted.

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

The station cleared like magic.

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

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Buzz off! Buzz off!"

Narrator: "Hissed Cranky.

One bee burnt his foot."

Bee: "Ooh, aah, ooh! ooh!"

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

So it stung Cranky right back on the nose."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "EEEE!"

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

They didn't notice till too late that they had left all of their buffaloes 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 Cranky's warm body.

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

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

Narrator: "Said his driver."

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

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

The vicar was waiting anxiously for Cranky.

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

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

Narrator: "Said his driver."

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

Narrator: "Later that day, Cranky was resting in his house, when the vicar came to see him."

The Vicar: "Thank you for saving my bees."

Narrator: "He said."

The Vicar: "It's a pity it's not Christmas; then we could call you Cranky the Red-Nosed Donkey."

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

Something in the Air
Narrator: "One day, Spike was at the keyside of a small village. Fish was being loaded onto his changelings.

The work took a long time, the Fishermen were using old equipment and Spike as worried."

Spike: "I'm going to be late for Filthy Rich at the docks. He won't like this. Please hurry up."

Narrator: "Spike was rudely interrupted."

(Crate of fish lands on Spike)

Narrator: "His driver and fireman laughed."

Spike: "Phew!"

Narrator: "Sniffed Spike."

Spike: "What a pong!"

Narrator: "He was glad when they were walking along the beautiful coastal run.

Then, they saw a man waving a red flag."

Spike: "What's the matter now?"

Man: "High tides are damaging the path."

Narrator: "Reported the man."

Man: "I've marked the spot."

Spike's Driver: "We'll go and inspect."

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Spike's Driver: "It would be dangerous for heavy animals like Filthy Rich."

Narrator: "Agreed the driver."

Spike: "But for Spike, it's safe enough."

Narrator: "The guard put a red oil lamp by the damaged path to warn animals."

Guard: "When we get to the docks, I'll tell them to close the path."

Narrator: "Filthy Rich was waiting for Spike's changelings."

Filthy Rich: "Pah! You're late! And that smell is making me ill."

Spike: "It's the fish."

Narrator: "Replied Spike."

Spike: "And there's danger on the path. That's why we're late."

Filthy Rich: "Pah! You're the only danger on the path, Spike. Now stop wasting time, and get your changelings hitched to my line!"

Narrator: "Spike's driver and fireman were in the yardmaster's office when they heard Filthy Rich. He was leaving the station with his long, heavy line of changelings called the Flying Kipper."

Spike's Driver: "What route is Filthy Rich taking tonight?"

Narrator: "Asked the driver."

Yardmaster: "The Coastal Run, it's the quickest."

Spike's Driver: "But I told you."

Narrator: "Gasped the driver."

Spike's Driver: "That's dangerous for a big animal like Filthy Rich!"

Narrator: "The yardmaster quickly phoned the signalman.

Filthy Rich roared past the signalbox."

Filthy Rich: "I'll soon make up for lost time."

Narrator: "The signalman couldn't hear the warning. By the time he did, Filthy Rich was far away in a cloud of steam.

But when Filthy Rich reached the Coastal tracks, his hopes for a fast run were dashed. Fog floated everywhere."

Filthy Rich: "I can't see."

Narrator: "Cried Filthy Rich. Nor could his driver.

And when he could, it was too late."

(Filthy Rich lands in the water)

Narrator: "As soon as the tide was high enough, Filthy Rich was craned out of the water."

Hoity Toity: "Ponies don't swim Filthy Rich! You were meant to deliver fish, not swim with them. You should know that by now!"

Filthy Rich: "Yes sir. I'm sorry sir."

Narrator: "When Filthy Rich arrived at the docks, Gustave Le Grand looked down at him."

Gustave Le Grand: "My, my, Filthy Rich. I expect you'll have some fishy tales to tell. But my advice, have a long shower first."

Narrator: "But there was worst to come."

Boy #1: "Look! They caught all this fish and a brown whale too."

Boy #2: "It's not a whale, it's a monster."

Narrator: "Filthy Rich was most upset.

Spike now felt sorry for Filthy Rich."

Spike: "Come on. Your driver says it's time for a nice shower. Then, you'll feel much better."

Narrator: "And Filthy Rich did."

Filthy Rich: "I'm sorry I was rude to you, Spike."

Spike: "That's alright. But can you smell something?"

Filthy Rich: "W-W-What?"

Spike: "Fresh air!"

Filthy Rich: "Oh yes!"

Narrator: "Replied Filthy Rich happily."
