Granpony
Narrator: "One winter's night, when the cold wind blew, the animals found it hard to sleep."

Braeburn: "What we need..."

Narrator: "Suggested Braeburn,"

Braeburn: "Is to listen to a story."

Pipsqueak: "Yes."

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "A mysterious story."

Soarin: "But,"

Narrator: "Added Soarin,"

Soarin: "It must have a happy ending."

Spike: "Driver told me a story,"

Narrator: "Said Spike, so everyone listened."

Spike: "Once upon a time,"

Narrator: "Began Spike."

Spike: "There were three little characters, who lived in their own little house on their own little land. Their names were Randolph, Rex and Hamm. Randolph was the oldest, and was named after his grace. He was proud of this, and liked to keep the younger characters in order.

Whenever they did anything that Randolph thought wrong, he would say,"

Randolph: "That would never suit his grace."

Spike: "Other characters came and went, but Randolph outlasted them all.

Rex and Hamm used to call him 'Granpony.' They were fond of him, but they got very tired of hearing all about 'his grace.'

Sometimes they would tease him and chant,"

Hamm and Rex: "Characters come and characters go, Granpony goes on forever."

Randolph: "You impertinent scallywags!"

Spike: "Randolph would say."

Randolph: "Whatever are you toys coming to?"

Rex: "Never mind, Granpony. We're only young once."

Randolph: "Well, you better mind. Unless you want to end up like Sid."

Hamm: "Oh, Granpony? What ever happened?"

Randolph: "Sid,"

Spike: "Said Randolph,"

Randolph: "Was a show-off!

He rode roughly and often came off of the road.

I warned him to be careful, but he took no notice."

Sid: "Listen, Randy,"

Randolph: "He said,"

Sid: "Who worries about a few spills?"

Randolph: "'We do here,' I said, but Sid just laughed."

Sid: "He he he he he!"

Randolph: "Until one day, manager said he was going to make him useful at last. Sid stopped laughing then."

Rex: "Well, why? What did he do?"

Randolph: "He turned him into a generator. He's still out there near our house. He'll never move again."

Spike: "After that, Rex and Hamm became really useful toys, and all three were happy together for many years.

Then, hard times came. The companies near the hills closed, and the land was closed, too. People came to buy the characters."

Passengers: "We'll take Rex and Hamm."

Spike: "No one wanted Randolph. They thought him 'Too old'."

Rex: "Cheer up, Granpony."

Spike: "Called Rex."

Rex: "We'll find you some nice land, and then you can come and keep us in order."

Spike: "They tried to be brave and cheerful, but no one really thought their dreams would come true.

Randolph's driver and fireman polished and greased him one last time. They sheeted him snugly, and said good-bye. Then they had to go away and find work. Randolph was alone.

Randolph: "Oh, well."

Spike: "He sighed."

Randolph: "I'll go to sleep. It'll help to pass the time."

Spike: "Winter torrents washed soil from the hills. Trees and bushes grew all around. You wouldn't have known a house was there, let alone a pony asleep inside."

Pipsqueak: "That's not a happy ending!"

Narrator: "Cried Pipsqueak."

Spike: "Ah,"

Narrator: "Murmured Spike."

Spike: "There will be one, but that will have to wait until next time."

Sleeping Beauty
Narrator: "It was a beautiful night in Ponyville. The day's work was done and the animals puffed safely home."

Pipsqueak: "Spike,"

Narrator: "Whispered Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Will you tell us the end of the story?"

Spike: "You mean the one about Randolph the Lost Pony?"

Big Macintosh: "Exactly."

Narrator: "Said Big Macintosh."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "But please remind us of the story so far."

Narrator: "So Spike began and here is the rest of the story he told."

Spike: "Randolph was old and lived with two young toys called Rex and Hamm. They teased Randolph and called him 'Granpony', but they were happy together.

Then, their land was closed down and the young toys went away. Randolph was left alone in the house. He went to sleep and everything around him changed. But Randolph was never forgotten.

Years went by until one day not long ago, visitors came to see Hoity Toity."

Visitors: "We want to find Randolph."

Spike: "They said."

Visitors: "And make him happy again."

Spike: "Maps layed everywhere."

Visitors: "If we follow the old road shown here on the map."

Spike: "They said."

Visitors: "We'll travel north of the village and then into the mountains. And look. There's the sign for the old station. If Randolph's anywhere, he's there."

Spike: "Everyone set off to the mountains far away.

The days went by, the search grew harder, but the rescuers wouldn't give up."

Visitors: "Let's go this way."

Spike: "They said.

But there was still no sign of Randolph."

Visitors: "He's here somewhere."

Spike: "They said. They scrambled over hills, struggled over ditches.

At last their search ended, quite by accident."

(Crash!)

Visitors: "We found him! We found our sleeping beauty."

Randolph: "Excuse me?"

Spike: "Enquired Randolph."

Randolph: "Are you a vandal? Driver told me vandals break and smash things."

Visitors: "Bless you, no."

Spike: "Laughed the rescuers."

Visitors: "We dropped in because we couldn't find your door. Hamm and Rex will be pleased to see you."

Randolph: "So they did remember."

Spike: "Sighed Randolph happily.

Then they all set off for Randolph's new home.

Rex and Hamm are ready for a big welcome."

Hamm and Rex: "He's here."

Spike: "They whispered."

Hamm and Rex: "Sh! Sh!"

Randolph: "You woke me up."

Spike: "Grumbled Randolph."

Randolph: "In my young days, characters were..."

Rex: "Seen and not heard, Granpony, we know."

Hamm: "We're all be back at work tomorrow. We're glad you've come back. We can keep you in order now."

Randolph: "Keep me in order? Be off with you! Impertinent scallywags!"

Spike: "But Randolph's old eyes twinkled, and for the first time in years, he smiled as he dozed in the sun.

And that..."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "...is the whole story. Did you like it?"

Other Animals: "Yes indeed."

Narrator: "Agreed the animals."

Other Animals: "Especially the happy ending."

Narrator: "And soon, they were all asleep too."

Bulldog
Narrator: "One morning, Pipsqueak was impatience. He was wearing some new hair and long for everyone to see it. The other animals were still dozing, but not Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Driver should be here by now. What's he doing?"

Chief Thunderhooves: "Sleeping."

Narrator: "Grunted Chief Thunderhooves."

Pipsqueak: "But that means I'll be late. The buffaloes will be waiting and the passengers will get cross."

Big Macintosh: "Rubbish!"

Narrator: "Huffed Big Macintosh."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "It's still early."

Narrator: "Added Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "You just want to show off."

Pipsqueak: "No I don't."

Spike: "Never Pipsqueak."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "It'll soon be time for work. But be careful, or you might run into danger and Randolph is not here to save you."

Braeburn: "R-R-Randolph?"

Narrator: "Stuttered Braeburn."

Braeburn: "You mean our hero?"

Narrator: "A large painting of Randolph hung in the library."

Spike: "The very same."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "Driver told me the story. Listen."

Narrator: "And this is the story Spike told them."

Spike: "Long ago, Rex and Hamm used to work with Randolph on his old land, but Hamm still had a lot to learn.

The manager came to see him."

Manager: "Hamm, I'm pleased with your work so far. Now you must learn the difficult part of the path. We call it "The Mountain Road"."

Spike: "Hamm was excited."

Hamm: "Yes, please sir."

Manager: "So tomorrow, when you have a new coat of paint, you will go on it. Randolph will explain everything."

Hamm: "Huh!"

Spike: "Thought Hamm!"

Hamm: "Randolph's an old fusspot!"

Spike: "Next day came."

Randolph: "Listen."

Spike: "Warned Randolph."

Randolph: "The mountain road is difficult. I'll lead."

Hamm: "No."

Spike: "Replied Hamm."

Hamm: "I'll lead. How can I learn the route with you lumbering ahead and blocking the view?"

Randolph: "Suit yourself."

Spike: "Said Randolph."

Randolph: "But never mind the view. Look at the path."

Spike: "The characters set off."

Randolph: "Look at the path."

Spike: "Puffed Randolph."

Randolph: "Never mind the view."

Hamm: "Fusspot, fusspot!"

Spike: "Replied Hamm."

Hamm: "Fuddy-duddy, fuddy-duddy, fuddy-duddy!"

Spike: "The characters' speed grew slower and slower."

Hamm: "Don't dawdle, don't dawdle!"

Spike: "Urged Hamm."

Randolph: "No hurry, no hurry."

Spike: "Puffed Randolph.

Soon they approach the tunnel. Hamm didn't like the tunnel. It was curved and he couldn't see."

Hamm: "I want to get out! I want to get out!"

Spike: "He sighed. One moment, everything seemed safe. But then suddenly...

Hamm hung dangerously over the edge.

Randolph bravely held on with all of his strength."

Randolph: "Stop shaking!"

Spike: "He called."

Randolph: "I can't hold you if you shake."

Spike: "Randolph's driver and fireman worked quickly to make the two characters safe again.

Then came more trouble."

Randolph's Fireman: "Water!"

Spike: "Cried Randolph's fireman."

Randolph's Fireman: "Randolph needs water quickly!"

Spike: "Luckily there was a workman's cottage nearby. Soon everyone was passing jugs, buckets, kettles and saucepans filled with water until Randolph's thirst was quinched. All the while, Randolph was building more strength. At last, when everyone's help, he was able to pull Hamm back onto the path.

Then they started off once more.

The manager was waiting at the top station. He apologized with the accident."

Passengers: "Your Randolph..."

Spike: "Said the passengers."

Passengers: "is a hero. He stood firm like a bulldog and wouldn't like go."

Spike: "Hamm was grateful too."

Hamm: "Thank you for saving me, Randolph. I don't know why you bothered after I've been so rude."

Randolph: "Oh well,"

Spike: "Replied Randolph."

Randolph: "You just had a new coat of paint. It would've been a pity if you felled down the mountain and spoiled it."

You Can't Win
Narrator: "Randolph is the hero of all the ponies. This is a story about him.

It happened long ago when Rex and Hamm used to work with Randolph on his old land. Many people came year after year to see the mountains and the lakes and most of all, Randolph.

He always pulled his wagon, even on days when he didn't feel well."

Randolph: "I mustn't disappoint my friends."

Narrator: "He would say.

Every morning he took his passengers up the road and stopped anywhere they wanted."

Randolph: "Peep, peep!"

Narrator: "He whistled."

Randolph: "Please be ready when I come back to you. Otherwise we might miss your boat to the mainland and that would never do."

Narrator: "One day, Randolph didn't feel well. He was short of strength and needed to rest. His driver and fireman had just finished clearing his body when Rex bustled up."

Rex: "Hello, Granpony."

Narrator: "He teased."

Rex: "Are you short of strength."

Randolph: "Nothing of the sort. This is routine maintenance."

Rex: "Tell you what."

Narrator: "Went on Rex."

Rex: "You getting old. We must take care of you in case you get hurt."

Randolph: "Hmmph!"

Narrator: "Hooshed Randolph."

Randolph: "That'll be the day!"

Narrator: "Randolph couldn't stay cross for long. It was a lovely evening."

Randolph: "Couldn't be better. Couldn't be better."

Narrator: "He guntered happily.

They began to climb, but Randolph didn't mind."

Randolph: "I've plenty of strength."

Narrator: "He puffed."

Randolph: "We'll be up in a couple of puffs."

Narrator: "But soon, Randolph's puffs changed to wheezes. His body was leaking strengh."

Randolph: "It's not so easy. It's not so easy."

Narrator: "He croaked."

Randolph: "But I'll manage."

Narrator: "At last, they reached the station.

Randolph's driver examined him carefully. Anxious passengers waited for new."

Conductor: "Randolph is going to take you to the harbor, but he might be late."

Narrator: "Said the conductor."

Conductor: "So two toys are coming to help. You'll still catch your boat."

Narrator: "Hamm went up in front."

Hamm: "Poor old Granpony. What a shame you've broken down."

Rex: "Peep, peep, peep!"

Narrator: "Teased Rex."

Rex: "This is the day."

Narrator: "He was coupled up behind."

Hamm: "Are you ready?"

Narrator: "Whistled Hamm."

Rex: "Yes, I am."

Narrator: "Replied Rex and away they went.

When they reached the next station, the cavalcade split up.

Hamm took Randolph's passengers to the boat.

Rex headed Hamm's line, with Randolph coupled behind."

Rex: "Fancy me rescuing Granpony! This is the day! This is the day!"

Narrator: "He boasted."

Rex: "Poor old pony! Poor old pony!"

Narrator: "But Randolph still had plenty of strength left in him. His body sounded worse then it was. He and his driver had their own little joke ready.

They waited until they reached the hill."

Randolph's Driver: "Now!"

Narrator: "Said his driver. Randolph puffed and roared as though he was pushing the whole line's weight before him. The noise echoed everywhere.

When they reached the last station, everyone cheered."

Boy: "What happened?"

Narrator: "Asked a boy."

Boy: "They don't usually need two characters."

Father: "Well,"

Narrator: "Replied his father."

Father: "Rex hurt himself. Randolph had to help him. It sounds as if he had a hard job too."

Narrator: "Randolph and his driver's joke had worked."

Rex: "Fiddlesticks!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed Rex, and he vanished in a cloud of steam. Randolph wheezed alongside."

Randolph: "Poor old toy!"

Narrator: "He teased."

Randolph: "It's no good, Rex. You can't win!"

Four Little Toys
Narrator: "If you should visit a place that has a big play room and a beautiful waterfall, then you may also find two little toys called Woody and Buzz Lightyear. The toys know everybody and everybody knows them.

There are two more toys; Hamm and Rex.

One day, Hoity Toity sent Shining Armor to the works to be mended.

A big surprise awaited Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "It's Woody! What's he doing here?"

Narrator: "Woody was pleased to see Shining Armor."

Woody: "I've been sent here for a rest."

Narrator: "He sighed."

Woody: "I was put on the shelf so I could see everything and not be lonely, but I do miss Buzz Lightyear; He's going to be mended. I wish I could be mended, too, and take fillies again."

Narrator: "Just then, some workmen arrived."

A Workman: "We're going to take you to the works now, Shining Armor. Come along."

Shining Armor: "Good-bye Woody. Your land's a lovely one."

Woody: "Oh, it is, it is. You've cheered me up, Shining Armor. Good-bye."

Narrator: "Meanwhile, Hamm was having trouble with some fillies. He tried to be kind, but the fillies didn't trust him; they were awkward and rude.

There was worse to come. Some careless sheep had strayed onto the path."

Fillies: "He's bumped us!"

Narrator: "Screamed the fillies."

Fillies: "Let's get back at him!"

Narrator: "They surged into Hamm and pushed him off the road.

No one was hurt, but Hamm limped sadly to the house."

Hamm's Driver: "No more work for you today."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Hamm's Driver: "How are we going to take the fillies without a toy?"

Woody: "What about me, sir?"

Hamm's Driver: "Woody! Can you do it?"

Woody: "I'll try."

Narrator: "Said the old toy.

The fillies stood at the platform."

Woody: "I'm ashamed of you."

Narrator: "Scolded Woody."

Woody: "You might have hurt your passengers!"

Narrator: "The fillies quivered.

Fillies: "We're sorry, Woody."

Narrator: "The conductor blew the whistle, and the journey began.

Woody remembered all the gates and styles where he had to stop.

The sun shone, the road was dry."

Woody: "This is lovely!"

Narrator: "Sang Woody.

Presently, the road grew steep. Woody felt short of strength."

Woody's Driver: "Take your time."

Narrator: "Soothed his driver."

Woody: "It'll be better down hill."

Narrator: "Woody said to himself.

But it wasn't. His body was weak, and the road jarred his legs.

At last, a leg gave way."

Woody: "I feel all ripped!"

Narrator: "Cried Woody."

Woody's Driver: "We'll need a bus now for our passengers."

Narrator: "Sighed his driver."

Woody: "No!"

Narrator: "Pleaded Woody."

Woody: "I'll get them to the station or burst!"

Narrator: "Cranky Doodle Donkey was waiting at the platform. Clanging and clanking, Woody steamed in."

Woody: "I'll do it, I'll do it! I've done it!"

Narrator: "Cranky collected his passengers and respectively puffed away.

Everyone was pleased with Woody, but he was still worried."

Woody: "Old toys can't take fillies like the young ones can."

Woody's Driver: "They can if they're mended, old faithful."

Narrator: "Smiled his driver."

Woody's Driver: "And that's what's going to happen to you, you deserve it!"

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: "Shhh. "

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 Chief Thunderhooves arrived."

Hamm: "Hello, who are you?"

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'm Chief Thunderhooves. 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."

Chief Thunderhooves: "We must have a chat."

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

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves 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?"

Rex and Cherry Jubilee
Narrator: "Hamm had been naughty, so Hoity Toity made him stay in the room for a while.

Rex was now busier than ever. He had to do Hamm's work, as well as his own. He was very excited and the fireman found him hard to handle."

Hamm: "Humph! Anyone would think that he wanted to work!"

Narrator: "Said Ham, who was lonely and bored."

Woody: "All respectable toys do."

Narrator: "Replied Woody."

Woody: "Keep calm Rex and you'll do well."

Narrator: "But Rex was in such of state that he couldn't listen. He collected some fillies and went on his way.

But somehow, the faster he wanted to go, the slower the journey became.

When Rex finally fussed into the station, Big Macintosh was already there."

Big Macintosh: "This won't do youngster."

Narrator: "Said Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "I can't be kept waiting. If you're late tonight, I'll go off and leave your passengers behind."

Rex: "Pooh!"

Narrator: "Said Rex. Secretly, he was a little worried, but not for long. The conductor blew his whistle, and weaved his green flag.

Rex puffed happily, away singing a little song."

Rex: "I'm Rex. I'm running this road. I'm Rex. I'm running this road.

What fun it all is."

Narrator: "He thought, as he journeyed along the road.

The fillies enjoyed themselves too. They were growing fond of Rex.

Every hour, they have to wait at the station by the lake. The station has a little shop selling refreshments. The driver, fireman and the conductor buy tea and cakes from Cherry Jubilee.

At last, the waiting was over. Rex was sizzling with impatients."

Rex: "Peep, peep! Hurry up, please!"

Narrator: "He whistled to the passengers."

Rex: "How awful,"

Narrator: "He thought."

Rex: "If we miss Big Mac."

Narrator: "The conductor was waiting with his flag and whistle. Cherry Jubilee was making her way to the filles.

Then it happened.

The conductor says that Rex was too impatient. Rex says he was sure he heard a whistle. Anyway, he started."

Fillies: "Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Narrator: "Wailed the fillies."

Fillies: "You've left Cherry Jubilee behind."

Rex: "Bother!"

Narrator: "Groaned Rex."

Rex: "We're sure to miss Big Mac now."

Narrator: "Cherry Jubilee climbed aboard, and they started again.

Rex didn't sing anymore. Instead, he hurried along the line as fast as his legs and his driver would let him.

The arrived at the big station just in time."

Rex: "Hurrah!"

Narrator: "Said Rex. He felt very relieved."

Big Macintosh: "Not bad, youngster."

Narrator: "Said Big Mac. But Cherry Jubilee was still cross."

Cherry Jubilee: "What do you mean by leaving me behind?"

Rex: "I'm sorry, Cherry Jubilee."

Narrator: "Replied Rex."

Rex: "But Big Mac said he might leave without us."

Narrator: "Then Cherry Jubilee laughed."

Cherry Jubilee: "You silly toy! Big Mac was teasing you. He wouldn't have gone without his passengers. He's a guaranteed connection."

Rex: "Well!"

Narrator: "Said Rex."

Rex: "Where's that Big Macintosh?"

Narrator: "But Big Mac had chortled away."

Mutant Toys/Slinky Helps Rex
Narrator: "Everyday, where the toys work, the crisp air is suddenly filled with a familiar noise. The lakes and mountains have many visitors, and Owlowiscious the Owl flies the sky making sure no one's in trouble."

Owlowiscious: "All present and correct. Time to return to home."

Narrator: "Then Owlowiscious noticed something. A slinky dog was coming round the mountain.

Owlowiscious flew lower for a closer inspection."

Owlowiscious: "I'm Owlowiscious. Who are you?"

Slinky: "I'm Slinky."

Narrator: "Replied the slinky dog."

Owlowiscious: "Don't recall seeing you before. What brings you this way?"

Slinky: "Hoity Toity sent me to help the other toys."

Narrator: "Huffed Slinky. This was no time for a chat with a owl."

Owlowiscious: "Well done! Cheers! And keep up the good work."

Slinky: "Cheeky feathers!"

Narrator: "Muttered Slinky."

Slinky's Driver: "Not long now."

Narrator: "Encouraged the driver."

Slinky's Driver: "We'll soon be at the top station."

Narrator: "Rex and Hamm were glad to see Slinky. Even so, Hamm wouldn't stop grumbling. The mutant toys didn't like Hamm and wanted to play tricks on him."

Chief Thunderhooves: "No one understands our feelings."

Narrator: "Sympathized Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Now if you were ill, you couldn't arrange mutant toys, could you?"

Hamm: "Good idea!"

Narrator: "Replied Hamm."

Hamm: "I'll try it."

Narrator: "He did so next morning."

Hamm: "I don't feel well at all."

Narrator: "He groaned. There wasn't time to examine him, so some of his mutant toys were lined up behind Rex's fillies.

Slinky promised to follow with the rest.

Rex didn't mind the extra work. He left his fillies at the station, and trundled cheerfully on.

Soon, they reached the quarry where the mutant toys were needed.

Empty mutant toys at the bottom of a slope are hitched to a cable. Loaded ones at the top are hitched to another. By their weight, loaded mutant toys run down the steep slope pulling the empty ones up.

Rex waited at the bottom of the slope for the loaded mutant toys. He never bumped mutant toys, unless they missed behaved.

But the loaded mutant toys couldn't see him properly. They thought he was Hamm. Their chance for trickery had come."

Loaded Mutant Toys: "Faster, faster!"

Narrator: "They yelled."

Empty Mutant Toys: "No, no!"

Narrator: "Wailed the empty mutant toys."

Empty Mutant Toys: "It's Rex!"

Narrator: "But it was no use!"

Loaded Mutant Toys: "Hurrah, hurrah!"

Narrator: "Roared the mutant toys. Rex shut his eyes."

(CRASH!)

Rex: "Peep, peep!"

Narrator: Wailed Rex. Slinky was working nearby, and came to help clear up the mess."

Slinky: "Bust my paws!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed Slinky."

Slinky: "Never mind, Rex. We'll get you out."

Narrator: "Rex felt battered. His head was creaked and his stomach dented."

Rex: "Thank you, Slinky."

Narrator: "He sighed, and limped slowly home."

Hamm: "I'm sorry about your accident."

Narrator: "Said Hamm."

Hamm: "I always stand well back. Mutant toys don't like me."

Rex: "Why didn't you warn me?"

Hamm: "I didn't think."

Hoity Toity: "You never do! You can start thinking now while you're doing Rex's work, as well as your own! That'll teach you to pretend you were ill."

Narrator: "Hamm did start thinking about Chief Thunderhooves.

When the wreckage was cleared away, Slinky set off along the road."

Owlowiscious: Splendid to see you again."

Narrator: "Whizzed Owlowiscious."

Owlowisicious: "I'm completing my evening look about."

Slinky: "Well done! Cheers! And keep up the good work."

Narrator: "And the slinky dog walked back home."

Home at Last
Narrator: "Woody had been to the works to be mended. He felt much better. Slinky the Slinky Dog was helping him off his wagon. Woody hadn't met the slinky dog before."

Woody: "Slinky seems a kindly sort of toy."

Narrator: "He thought to himself."

Slinky: "I help to mend the paths and do odd jobs."

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "I hear everyone's looking forward to seeing you again. Come on."

Narrator: "Rex was feeling depressed. He was still getting over his accident but he wanted to start work again. Hoity Toity wouldn't let him."

Hoity Toity: "Another day's rest will do you good."

Narrator: "He said."

Hoity Toity: "Besides, I've got a surprise for you."

Rex: "For me sir! How nice sir! What is it sir?"

Hoity Toity: "Wait and see."

Narrator: "The surprise was Woody."

Rex: "Oh."

Narrator: "Said Rex."

Rex: "I'm glad you've come home."

Narrator: "They gave Woody some stamina and he sizzled happily."

Woody: "I feel all excited."

Narrator: "He said."

Woody: "Just like a young toy. Now tell me all the news."

Rex: "I see you've met Slinky."

Narrator: "Said Rex."

Woody: "Yes. I like that slinky dog."

Rex: "So do I."

Narrator: "Replied Rex."

Rex: "It's a pity Mr. Potato Head doesn't."

Woody: "Who is Mr. Potato Head?"

Rex: "He came as a spare toy after my accident."

Narrator: "Replied Rex."

Woody: "Is he useful?"

Rex: "He keeps busy and I'm sure he means well, but he's bouncy and rude. He sings and sways and swivles around. His driver calls it Rock 'n' Roll."

Woody: "I understand."

Narrator: "Said Woody gravely.

His driver interrupted."

Woody's Driver: "Mr. Potato Head has done it again. He's stuck in a tunnel. Come on old boy. We'll have to get him out."

Narrator: "Woody was pleased. He wanted to run and looked forward to meeting Mr. Potato Head. They found some workmen and hurried up the road."

Woody: "How nice and smooth the road is."

Narrator: "Thought Woody."

Woody: "They mended all the old bumps. The slinky dog has helped to do that. What a difference Slinky's made to the road."

Narrator: "Quite soon they found Mr. Potato Head. He was stuck at the far end of the tunnel and he was very cross."

Mr. Potato Head: "I'm a plain blunt toy. I speak as I find. Tunnels should be tunnels and not rabbit holes. This land is no good at all."

Mr. Potato Head's Driver: "Don't be silly!"

Narrator: "Snapped his driver."

Mr. Potato Head's Driver: "This tunnel is quite big enough for toys who don't rock 'n' roll!"

Narrator: "It took a long time to clear away the rocks and set Mr. Potato Head free again.

At last, Woody was able to push Mr. Potato Head and his fillies safely through.

The workmen stayed to make sure everything was safe.

Mr. Potato Head grumbled all the way home, but Woody payed no attention.

Later, Hoity Toity spoke severly to Mr. Potato Head."

Hoity Toity: "Listen to me. There is nothing wrong with that tunnel. You stuck in it because you tried to do rock N roll. Tunnels are not dance floors and you are not a pop star."

Narrator: "Then Hoity Toity gave his full attention to Mr. Potato Head's Hat."

Hoity Toity: "If it happens again,"

Narrator: "He ended ominously."

Hoity Toity: "I shall find ways to cut you down to size. In other words, your career is um *ahem* on the line. Need I say more?"

Narrator: "Mr. Potato Head thought Hoity Toity had said quite enough and he remain completely silent and still, for at least the whole evening."

Rock 'n' Roll
Narrator: "Woody the Cowboy Doll loves all the sights and sounds along his roads and knows them very well.

One morning, soon after he returned from being mended, he was enjoying his journey more than ever before. Along the way, he met Slinky."

Woody: "You know,"

Narrator: "He said."

Woody: "If I couldn't see these familiar faces and places, I'd think I was on a different land. You've done wonders with these roads."

Narrator: "Slinky laughed."

Slinky: "I'm glad you're pleased. Manager says let's mend the roads so well that he won't know where he is. And we did, and you didn't if you take my meaning."

Narrator: "Woody liked this hard working slinky dog."

Slinky: "There's still on bad bit."

Narrator: "Warned Slinky."

Slinky: "Just before the first station. A toy might come off there, particularly Mr. Potato Head. He will rock 'n' roll along the road. Look at him right now. I hope he doesn't hurt his passengers."

Mr. Potato Head: "What's that about me? I'm a plain toy and I believe in plain speaking. Speak up!"

Narrator: "Slinky warned Mr. Potato Head about the bad bit of road."

Mr. Potato Head: "Huh! I know my way about. I don't need smelly slinky dogs to tell me what to do."

Narrator: "Slinky felt hurt.

Mr. Potato Head banged about the room. Then, he clattered crossly to the station. Cranky Doodle Donkey was already there waiting for him."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "You're late!"

Narrator: "He snapped."

Mr. Potato Head: "I know."

Narrator: "Said Mr. Potato Head."

Mr. Potato Head: "It's that smelly slinky dog's fault. Slinky tries to teach me how to stay on the road, and then goes off leaving me to find my own fillies."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "You poor toy."

Narrator: "Sympathized Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I know all about creatures. One crept into our town and ordered us about. I soon sent him packing."

Narrator: "Mr. Potato Head was filled with admiration. He didn't know that Cranky was boastful and sometimes didn't tell the truth."

Mr. Potato Head: "Send Slinky packing! Send Slinky packing!"

Narrator: "Snorted Mr. Potato Head. He climbed the hill furiously."

Mr. Potato Head's Driver: "Well done, boy."

Narrator: "Encouraged his driver."

Mr. Potato Head's Driver: "Keep it up."

Narrator: "Soon they were near the first station. Mr. Potato Head was pleased."

Mr. Potato Head: "Nothing's happened, nothing's happened. Silly old slinky dog, clever me."

Narrator: "And he rocked and rolled along the road."

Mr. Potato Head's Driver: "Steady, boy."

Narrator: "Checked his driver. But it was too late."

Mr. Potato Head: "Sleepers and ballast! I'm off."

Narrator: "And he was."

Slinky: "I warned him."

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "But all he did was call me names."

Narrator: "The slinky dog refused to move."

Woody: "I'm ashamed of you, Slinky."

Narrator: "Said Woody."

Woody: "Think of the passengers. What are they going to do?"

Slinky: "Oh, I've forgotten them. Yes, of course. We must help the passengers."

Narrator: "And Slinky roared into life.

Mr. Potato Head stood sad and solitary. He couldn't rock 'n' roll now."

Mr. Potato Head: "Oh dear."

Narrator: "He thought."

Mr. Potato Head: "Everyone will know how silly I am."

Narrator: "The passengers had to get out and help too. They weren't very pleased about that, but worked as hard as they could. They carefully leavered Mr. Potato Head back onto the road.

After that, Mr. Potato Head was extra careful all day.

At last, evening came."

Mr. Potato Head: "Slinky,"

Narrator: "He whispered."

Mr. Potato Head: "Thank you for helping. I'm sorry I was rude to you."

Slinky: "That's all right, Potato Head."

Mr. Potato Head: "I wish all slinky dogs were like you. Let's be friends."

Slinky: "Suits me."

Narrator: "Replied Slinky."

Slinky: "We'll mend that bad bit of road first thing tomorrow."

Special Head
Narrator: "It was winter in Ponyville. Rex puffed nervously along the road. The top of his head had never been the same since his accident with some mutant toys. Now the biting wind was trying to blow it away."

Rex: "My head feels wobbly."

Narrator: "He complained."

Rex: "I wish manage would hurry up with my new one. He says it would be something special."

Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Hamm, Mr. Potato Head and Randolph: "You and your special head."

Narrator: "Laughed the others. They were fond of Rex, but his special head had become quite a joke.

The winter wind grew worst. The rain came too, turning hillside streams into torrents, which threatened to wash the road away.

Slinky, the slinky dog, worked hard carrying workmen up and down the road. They were removing branches and leaves so water could flow away.

But one morning, Slinky's driver brought bad news."

Slinky's Driver: "There's been a washout near the tunnel. The road has been swept away. We must repair the damage immediately."

Narrator: "The important work took longer than expected. As days went by, the weather changed. It became frosty and much colder."

The workmen finished at last. Rex was most careful as he took the morning fillies over the mended bit of road.

Soon, they approached the tunnel. It was short and curved. So his driver could not see right through it. Rex was heading for trouble."

Rex's Driver: "There's something hanging from the roof."

Narrator: "Shouted his driver. Rex came out of the tunnel a different looking toy. He no longer had the top of his head."

Conductor: "Here's what hit you, Rex."

Narrator: "Called the conductor. And he produced a thick, cold icicle. They set off again, but without the top of his head, the journey was very difficult.

Then, his fireman saw an old box lying beside the road."

Rex's Fireman: "We'll use that instead of the top of your head. At least, it'll help you."

Narrator: "Rex finished his journey with the box wired to his body.

The others laughed, and Hamm sang a song about it."

Hamm: "Rex said again and again, his new head will put ours to shame. Went into a tunnel and lost his old head. Now his famous new head's a box!"

Narrator: "The teasing continued until at last the day came when his new head arrived.

Hoity Toity proudly presented it."

Rex: "Oh dear! Someone's squashed it."

Narrator: "Said Rex. But Hoity Toity laughed."

Hoity Toity: "Don't worry, Rex. This head is something special indeed. You'll soon see."

Narrator: "Rex's new head had special pipes, which made pulling much easier."

Rex: "I feel stronger than ever before!"

Narrator: "He hummed. Even Hamm was impressed."

Hamm: "I can't understand it. Rex just seems to stroll along the road. He makes work look so easy."

Narrator: "The others don't laugh at Rex's head now. They wished they had one like it."

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 hat, until they learned how useful it is."

Hamm: "Did you hear that?"

Narrator: "Huffed Hamm."

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

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

Woody: "With your grand bumpers, 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 bridge."

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 roads.

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."

Passengers and Polish
Narrator: "Twist is a conductor's daughter.

One day, she was working on Woody with some polish and a rag. Woody was snoozing happily, but Twist wanted to talk."

Twist: "Wake up, lazybones! Your boots are filthy. Aren't you ashamed?"

Woody: "No."

Narrator: "Yawned Woody."

Woody: "You're just an old fusspot."

Narrator: "And then Woody closed his eyes. He was thinking of his friend, Buzz Lightyear, and the all the times they shared together before Buzz went away to be mended.

Twist interrupted again."

Twist: "Don't you want to look nice for when Buzz comes home?"

Narrator: "Woody wasn't sleepy anymore."

Woody: "What? When?!"

Twist: "Soon. Daddy told me. I'm going now."

Narrator: "She said."

Woody: "Twist, stop. Do I really look nice? Please polish me again."

Twist: "Now who's an old fusspot?"

Narrator: "Laughed Twist, and set to work once more.

Mr. Potato Head was jealous."

Mr. Potato Head: "Aren't you gonna polish me too?"

Twist: "Sorry. Not today. I'm going now. I'm helping Cherry Jubilee this afternoon. We must get the ice cream ready for the passengers. Never mind, Mr. Potato Head."

Narrator: "But Mr. Potato Head did mind."

Mr. Potato Head: "It isn't fair!"

Narrator: "He complained."

Mr. Potato Head: "Rex gets a special head, Hamm gets special feet, passengers get ice cream, but I'm not even polished!"

Narrator: "Of course, this wasn't true. But Mr. Potato Head enjoyed complaining. He became sulkier still.

That afternoon, there was bad news from up the road."

Mr. Potato Head's Driver: "One of Woody's fillies has come off the road."

Narrator: "Called Mr. Potato Head's driver."

Mr. Potato Head's Driver: "We'll have to take workmen there right away."

Mr. Potato Head: "All this extra work!"

Narrator: "Grumbled Mr. Potato Head."

Mr. Potato Head: "It wears a toy out!"

Mr. Potato Head's Driver: "Rubbish! Come on!"

Narrator: "The hurt filly was in the middle of Woody's line. So he had gone on to the top station with his front fillies.

Mr. Potato Head left the workmen to sort out the mess, then he brought the passengers with the rear fillies home.

He sulked all the way."

Mr. Potato Head: "I get no rest, I get no rest!"

Narrator: "He muttered.

Mr. Potato Head made the journey very difficult. He was short of strength, so his driver waited a while and hope of raising more. But Mr. Potato Head wouldn't try."

Mr. Potato Head's Driver: "We'll keep our passengers waiting."

Narrator: "Said his driver. Mr. Potato Head was cross."

Mr. Potato Head: "You always think about the passengers and never about me!"

Narrator: "It wasn't long before Mr. Potato Head finally build up enough strength and set off again.

But he was still very grumpy and cross."

Mr. Potato Head: "I'm overworked, and I won't stand it!"

Narrator: "At last, they reached the viaduct near the station."

Mr. Potato Head's Driver: "Come on, Potato Head!"

Narrator: "Called his driver."

Mr. Potato Head's Driver: "One more effort, and you'll have a rest and a drink at the station."

Narrator: "Then, Mr. Potato Head was very rude."

Mr. Potato Head: "Keep your own station! I'm staying here!"

Narrator: "And he did too.

Woody had to pull Mr. Potato Head and his fillies all the way to the platform.

The passengers were furious. They told everyone what a bad town it was.

That night, Hoity Toity spoke to Mr. Potato Head."

Hoity Toity: "No passengers means no polish!"

Mr. Potato Head: "And no polish means no passengers."

Narrator: "Mr. Potato Head muttered to himself.

He still has a lot to learn, doesn't he?"

Gallant Old Toy/The Gallant Old Toy
Narrator: "Mr. Potato Head would not stop grumbling. He grumbled that he wasn't polished enough, he grumbled that he was overworked. Most of all, he grumbled about the passengers."

Woody: "I'm ashamed of you, Mr. Potato Head."

Narrator: "Said Woody."

Woody: "Thank goodness Buzz Lightyear is coming home soon. Perhaps he'll teach you some sense before it's too late.

Mr. Potato Head: "What has Buzz Lightyear to do with me?"

Woody: "Buzz saved our land."

Narrator: "Replied Woody."

Rex: "Please, tell us about it!"

Narrator: "Said Rex."

Woody: "Well,"

Narrator: "Began Woody,"

Woody: "It was before you came here. Things were bad. Buzz and I had to keep the business running, or our land would have to close."

Rex: "How awful."

Narrator: "Murmured Rex."

Woody: "I tried hard,"

Narrator: "Continued Woody,"

Woody: "But my old feet ached. Buzz understood."

Buzz Lightyear: "It's my turn now!"

Woody: "He'd tell me. He was often short of stregth, but he always struggled to a station, and then rested there.

Buzz Lightyear: "I mustn't stop between stations."

Woody: "He'd say."

Buzz Lightyear: "The passengers wouldn't like it."

Mr. Potato Head: "Hmph!"

Narrator: "Huffed Mr. Potato Head. He had stopped on a viaduct and hadn't cared at all."

Woody: "Passengers,"

Narrator: "Continued Woody,"

Woody: "Get cross if you stop at the wrong places. Buzz stopped in a wrong place once, and this is what happened.

One wet and windy afternoon, when the ground was damp, Buzz Lightyear was traveling home with a full line; there were even passengers at the end.

It wasn't a comfortable ride at all.

Buzz's feet kept slipping, and it was a steep climb.

At last his feet gripped the ground again."

Buzz Lightyear: "The worst is over,"

Woody: "He thought,"

Buzz Lightyear: "Now we're away."

Woody: "But they weren't."

Buzz Lightyear: "Aaah! I've got a cramp!"

Woody: "He groaned.

And Buzz stopped on the loneliest part of the road.

His driver examined him carefully."

Buzz Lightyear's Driver: "Your leg gear has jammed. We need to reach the next station. Do you think you can still get us there?"

Buzz Lightyear: "I'll try."

Woody: "Replied Buzz.

Buzz did his best."

Buzz Lightyear: "If I fail,"

Woody: "He thought to himself,"

Buzz Lightyear: "The passengers will be cross and the land will close."

Woody: "Everything blurred. He was really too tired to make another limp of his legs, but he did, and another, and another, and another.

Finally, tired, but triumphant, Buzz reached the station."

Buzz Lightyear: "I'm here at last!"

Woody: "He wheezed."

Passengers: "Thank you for getting us home."

Woody: "Said the passengers."

Passengers: "We'll tell all our friends what a fine land this is."

Woody: "His driver was delighted."

Buzz Lightyear's Driver: "You're a gallant little toy."

Woody: "He said to Buzz."

Buzz Lightyear's Driver: "When you're rested, we'll mend you, so you'll be ready for tomorrow."

Woody: "And,"

Narrator: "Smiled Woody,"

Woody: "Buzz always was ready for tomorrow."

Mr. Potato Head: "Thanks for telling us about him."

Narrator: "Whispered Mr. Potato Head."

Mr. Potato Head: "I was wrong. Passengers are important after all."

Narrator: "The next day, Buzz Lightyear came home. All the characters were there to greet him. Shining Armor pushed his crane to the siding, where he was lifted onto the ground.

This was the signal for a chorus of whistles from characters large and small. Everyone was happy, and Buzz was the happiest of them all."

Buzz Lightyear: "You know,"

Narrator: "He whispered to Woody,"

Buzz Lightyear: "This helps a toy to feel that at last, he has really come home."

Slinky to the Rescue
Narrator: "In Springtime, Slinky loves to visit a faraway place. It's full of music. The air smells sweet and Slinky thinks there's no better place to be.

One day, Spike was passing by just as Slinky was having a drink."

Spike: "Good morning. Your driver looks as little worrid. I wonder why."

Slinky: "I don't know."

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "But I soon will.

Excuse me,"

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "But is there something wrong?"

Slinky's Driver: "Yes indeed."

Narrator: "Replied the driver."

Slinky's Driver: "They need another pony to help run this special line."

Slinky: "A music pony."

Narrator: "Laughed Slinky."

Slinky: "Maybe I can find one."

Narrator: "Later, Slinky saw Hondo Flanks and Pipsqueak. Slinky had an idea."

Slinky: "Can you help me find another pony?"

Hondo Flanks: "Where?"

Slinky: "Where you found Dr. Whooves."

Hondo Flanks: "You mean in Tartarus?"

Slinky: "Yes. I'm looking for a music pony."

Narrator: "And Slinky explained everything."

Hondo Flanks: "I'd like to help, but these days it's only creatures that go there."

Narrator: "Then Slinky decided."

Slinky: "So that's where I'll go."

Hondo Flanks: "Take care."

Narrator: "Slinky told the driver all about the plan. And that night, he came back to the dock."

Slinky's Driver: "The manager says he'll make a home for a music pony if you find one."

Slinky: "Right."

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "We'll find one tomorrow."

Narrator: "It took them all of the next day to travel to Tartarus.

Darkness fell and the cold wind blew."

Slinky: "Oh, what's that?"

Narrator: "But it was only the sounds of the lonely scrapyards. Creatures silent and still lined up and guard."

Creatures: "Who are you?"

Narrator: "Slinky plucked up courage."

Slinky: "I'm a sheds and sidings inspection toy. Have you any ponies in the sheds?"

Creatures: "No. None."

Narrator: "Slinky rallied again."

Slinky: "Then what the sidings?"

Creatures: "One. We have one."

Narrator: "Slinky grew braver still."

Slinky: "Then I'll just go an inspect."

Narrator: "A blue pony with a music note cutie mark stood sad and alone in the shadowy sidings. His driver was next to him keeping him company."

Slinky: "Excuse me?"

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "Do you like music?"

Narrator: "The pony looked startled."

Noteworthy: "Yes. Music is beautiful."

Slinky: "Then you're soon going to hear lots of it because I'm getting you out of here."

Narrator: "Everyone worked fast. It was difficult to get his body warmed up, but soon it was warm and Noteworthy had plenty of energy. Slinky's engineer agreed to be Noteworthy's fireman.

So fall they set, past the bleak and booming lines creatures."

Creatures: "Where is he going?"

Narrator: "They hissed."

Slinky: "Just down the path."

Narrator: "Said Slinky. And the chuffered quickly away."

Slinky: "We've done it."

Narrator: "Said Slinky."

Slinky: "We're over the border and back in our own town. Mission accomplished."

Narrator: "When Slinky and the pony arrived back in the valley, a big welcome awaited them."

Manager: "We shall heal you and give a new coat."

Narrator: "Said the manager. His driver was delighted."

Noteworthy's Driver: "You lucky old pony. You've been saved by the music land."

Noteworthy: "And my friend, Slinky. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for OJ."

Narrator: "Now the blue pony is as happy as can be and helps the passengers and visit at music time. His name is Noteworthy, but everyone calls him the music pony."

Spike and Noteworthy
Narrator: "Spike the Dragon was feeling very happy. His scales shone in the sun, he was right on time, and all around his route the countryside seemed prettier than ever before."

Spike: "Good morning, Pipsqueak."

Narrator: "He whistled."

Spike: "My route is the pride of Ponyville. Wouldn't you agree?"

Pipsqueak: "Uh, yes Spike, of course, But uh,"

Spike: "But what Pipsqueak? Out with it!"

Pipsqueak: "Well, there is a pony with a famous route too?"

Spike: "Who? Where?"

Pipsqueak: "His name is Noteworthy. He's faraway, but Hoity Toity says he might visit us."

Spike: "When?"

Pipsqueak: "Oh, someday."

Narrator: "And Pipsqueak hurried away.

Meanwhile Noteworthy was walking steadily along his route. It isn't very long, and that made him feel a little sad. Later he saw Slinky, the slinky dog who had helped saved Noteworthy from death."

Noteworthy: "Everyone's been so kind. But my route is so short and I do miss a good long rung."

Slinky: "I think you should tell driver too."

Narrator: "Replied Slinky."

Slinky: "I'm sure he'll understand."

Narrator: "Noteworthy soon discovered that indeed he did."

Noteworthy's Driver: "Do you know, Noteworthy? I feel just the same way."

Narrator: "That evening, he had exciting news."

Noteworthy's Driver: "Just what Noteworthy? Hoity Toity has invited us to visit the other animals in Ponyville. Manager agreed. But it'll be a really long run to get there."

Noteworthy: "Oh, thank you."

Narrator: "Sighed Noteworthy. They set off next morning.

But now, all the other animals were talking about Noteworthy."

Pipsqueak: "He runs a famous route. Did you know that?"

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak. Spike was feeling a little jealous."

Spike: "Huh! It may be famous, but my route is the first in town. Everyone knows that too."

Narrator: "And he huffed away to fetch his cutie mark crusaders."

Pipsqueak: "Look!"

Narrator: "Squeaked Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Why have they all come? There's no pony yet."

Narrator: "But Pipsqueak was wrong. The signal dropped, and from faraway a pony whistled."

Hondo Flanks: "Here he comes."

Narrator: "Yelled Hondo Flanks.

Noteworthy walked proudly through the junction."

Shining Armor: "I hope you meet Spike too."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "You both have routes to be proud of."

Narrator: "Then Noteworthy set off to help Soarin move buffaloes in the yard, and they worked happily together all afternoon.

At last, Spike arrived."

Spike: "Sorry, can't talk. It's time for my last delivery. Mustn't be late."

Narrator: "He was hardly out of sight when the ponies heard shouting at the station. Moments later came the alarm."

Passengers: "Stop all animals!"

Narrator: "The signalman answered the telephone."

Signalman: "A special is it? I see."

Narrator: "Spike was impatient."

Spike: "Why are we waiting? My passengers are being delayed."

Spike's Driver: "Sorry, Spike."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Spike's Driver: "We're being shunted to allow another pony to pass."

Narrator: "Soon they heard an unfamiliar sound. There was Noteworthy with his headlamp swang and whistle blowing. He gathered speed and disappeared."

Spike: "Well bust my scales!"

Narrator: "Said Spike the Dragon.

Next morning, he was still fuming."

Spike: "Shunted! And on my own route too! It's a disgrace!"

Noteworthy: "I'm sorry."

Narrator: "Said Noteworthy."

Noteworthy: "I was a special."

Spike: "Why?"

Noteworthy: "An important passenger arrived just as you left. He ordered a special load and Soarin let me take it.

We had a splendid run, but uh..."

Spike: "But,"

Narrator: "Finished Spike."

Spike: "It can make an animal nervous not to know the route."

Noteworthy: "Exactly."

Narrator: "Said Noteworthy."

Noteworthy: "You're such an expert."

Narrator: "Spike felt much better. He couldn't be cross anymore and began telling Noteworthy all about his route."

Pony Stops Play
Narrator: "Noteworthy the Music Pony was busy talking to the other animals. It was his first visit to their town and he was having a splendid time."

Noteworthy: "You are very lucky animals."

Narrator: "He said."

Noteworthy: "Your town has got everything. It's long enough to give you a good run, and you have plenty of passengers. Then you have a quarry and a mine, so you'll need plenty of changelings. Changelings are fun. I missed them on our line."

Narrator: "Pipsqueak was surprised. All the animals thought changelings were trouble."

Pipsqueak: "You're welcome to take some of mine."

Narrator: "He said."

Pipsqueak: "But you better ask driver first."

Narrator: "They're drivers agreed and the two ponies set off.

Spike and Braeburn were speechless.

Noteworthy took the changelings to the harbor. Then he picked up a load of empty ones and started back.

Ahead was a cricket field. The game had just began. Noteworthy and his driver had to wait at a signal."

Noteworthy's Driver: "Good."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Noteworthy's Driver: "We can watch the game."

Narrator: "Then, there was trouble. The batsman hit the ball. It flew high in the sky towards Noteworthy. "Clunk" went the signal. "Thump" went a ball onto a changelings. But neither driver nor fireman heard it."

Players: "Stop!"

Narrator: "Yelled the players. But Noteworthy didn't hear them."

Noteworthy: "Come along. Come along."

Narrator: "He puffed to the changelings."

Players: "Our one and only ball."

Narrator: "Cried the players."

Players: "Wake up, Zecora."

Narrator: "They said to their zebra."

Players: "The chase is on."

Narrator: "Zecora coughed crossly and rolled down the road.

Noteworthy wasn't hurrying. Zecora soon came up behind."

Zocora: "Toot. Toot."

Narrator: "She wailed. The players shouted but Noteworthy was still too far for his driver and fireman to see or hear properly. They completely misunderstood."

Noteworthy's Driver: "If those jokers want a race,"

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Notworthy's Driver: "They can have one. Faster, Noteworthy! Faster!"

Narrator: "Poor Zecora wasn't happy at all. She rattled along at twice her usual speed."

Zecora: "I shouldn't be treated like this."

Narrator: "She grumbled."

Zecora: "This pace it too hot for me. It'll fuse all of my body."

Narrator: "Suddenly, Noteworthy was nowhere to be seen."

Zecora: "Yahoo! That silly pony has run into a hole so we can't catch it. I can go home now."

Narrator: "But she couldn't. Her driver pounded Zecora on up the steep hill, and then down the other side towards the station. Noteworthy was already there and Zecora cluttered in."

Players: "We need our ball back."

Narrator: "Cried the players and explained everything.

The ball was with the third changeling from the end of the line."

Player: "We found it."

Narrator: "Cried a player."

Noteworthy's Driver: "We're sorry."

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Player: "Ah, you couldn't help it."

Narrator: "Replied the player."

Player: "Now, we must get back quickly."

Noteworthy's Driver: "You'll be lucky."

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Noteworthy's Driver: "Zecora looks worn out."

Narrator: "And she was. The driver spoke to the stationmaster and the signalman and they all agreed on the plan.

Soon they put Zecora onto a wagon and a trailer coupled behind. The players crowded inside and Noteworthy took them back to the playfield.

Everyone enjoyed watching the game. Even Zecora was pleased."

Noteworthy: "She doesn't think ponies silly now."

Zecora: "They have their uses. They can save the wear on a poor zebra's foot."

Bowled Out
Narrator: "Noteworthy's visit to the Hoity Toity's town was coming to an end."

Hoity Toity: "We shall miss you."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity.

Then he turned his attention to all the other animals."

Hoity Toity: "My town is very busy, and I'm pleased with you, but... you need help. A centaur named Tirek is all that's available. Please do your best to avoid any... ahem, disturbances."

Soarin: "What does that mean?"

Narrator: "Whispered Soarin."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "That means this centaur is difficult!"

Narrator: "Snapped Cranky.

And he was.

Tirek surveyed the library."

Tirek: "Not bad. I've seen worse. At least you're all clean."

Narrator: "The animals glared."

Tirek: "It's not your fault, but Hoity Toity should get rid of you and get creatures like me. A drain of magic, and I'm off! No bother, no waiting. They have to fuss round you for hours before you're ready."

Narrator: "The animals were furious!

Next morning, they held an indignation meeting round the library."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Disgraceful!"

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Disgusting!"

Big Macintosh: "Despicable!"

Night Light and Hondo Flanks: "To say such thing to us!"

Narrator: "Cried Night Light and Hondo Flanks."

Night Light and Hondo Flanks: "It's to teach him a lesson we be wanting. Now, how do we do it?"

Narrator: "Their chance came sooner than expected. Tirek was purring comfortably.

An inspector watched a fitter making final adjustments. The wind tugged at the inspector's hat.

Tirek was ready."

Tirek: "Look at me, Soarin and Noteworthy! Now I'll show you something!"

Narrator: "He rolled proudly towards his buffaloes.

Then, it happened."

(Tirek splutters and coughs)

"Shaking and spluttering, Tirek stopped.

Meanwhile, the inspector was looking for his hat. Tirek seethed with fury as Soarin and Noteworthy pushed him back to the shed."

Railway Inspector: "My hat!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed the Inspector."

Railway Inspector: "You've sucked it in your mouth!"

Hoity Toity: "Bother your hat!

The heavy buffaloes are due out. You'll have to take them, Soarin. Noteworthy, will you help, please?"

Noteworthy: "Thank you, Sir."

Narrator: "Cried Noteworthy."

Noteworthy: "I'd like a good, long run on my last day."

Narrator: "The ponies were soon ready."

Hoity Toity: "Chief Thunderhooves will take over from halfway, so get the buffaloes to there. Good luck!"

Noteworthy: "Don't worry."

Narrator: "Smiled Noteworthy."

Noteworthy: "We'll get there, and be early, too!"

Narrator: "The cavalcade moved carefully on the path and out to the open road."

Noteworthy: "Now for a sprint!"

Narrator: "Puffed Noteworthy."

Soarin: "I'm ready when you are!"

Narrator: "Replied Soarin.

Soon, they were whizzing through Shining Armor's station, and next, they were charging at Chief Thunderhooves' hill beyond.

They felt the drag of the heavy buffaloes here. It was hard work.

At last, they were running smoothly along the line toward the big station."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Hello, you're early!"

Narrator: "Said Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "That's one in the head for old Tirek!"

Noteworthy: "Cranky says he's sick as sludge and sulking in the shed."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Serves him right for saying we're out of date!"

Narrator: "And Chief Thunderhooves chortled away.

Next morning, everyone came to say good-bye to Noteworthy."

Animals: "Come back and see us soon!"

Narrator: "Whistled the animals."

Noteworthy: "And you are always welcome on my Music Route, too!"

Narrator: "Replied Noteworthy. Then, he puffed away.

What about Tirek? He'd slipped out while no one was looking. But he left two things behind; a rather nasty smell, and a battered bowler hat."

Big Macintosh and the Elephant
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."

Tank Stands By
Narrator: "Dr. Whooves had been to the hospital to be healed.

Some changelings tricked him, and the pony fell into the turntable well.

Now, Dr. Whooves was as good as new, but he was still worried about changelings."

Dr. Whooves: "I'd rather not use them."

Narrator: "He said to himself.

But the changelings sang songs rude and loud.

The Cockatrice, their leader, led the chorus."

Cockatrice and Changelings: "Dr. Whooves' no use at all, thinks he's very clever, says that he can manage us, that's the best joke ever! When he orders us about, with the greatest folly, we just push him down the well, Pop goes old Whooves!"

Narrator: "Spike, Soarin and Pipsqueak were shocked."

Spike, Pipsqueak and Soarin: "Be quiet!"

Narrator: "They ordered.

But they couldn't be everywhere, and everywhere they weren't, the changelings began again."

Changelings: "Dr. Whooves' no use at all, thinks he's very clever, says that he can manage us, that's the best joke ever!"

Narrator: "At last, the animals gave up."

Spike, Pipsqueak and Soarin: "We're sorry, Dr. Whooves."

Narrator: "They said."

Dr. Whooves: "It's realy my fault."

Narrator: "Said Dr. Whooves sadly."

Dr. Whooves: "I shouldn't have fallen in the turntable well."

Narrator: "Tank, the Tortoise, felt sorry for Dr. Whooves, too.

Next morning, he spoke to Hondo Flanks."

Tank: "I'm worried, Mr. Hondo. This disrespect for animals, when is it going to end?"

Hondo Flanks: "Who knows?"

Narrator: "Sighed Hondo."

Tank: "I've got a plan, Mr. Hondo. May I stay here today and help Mr. Whooves? We are both great western, and must stand together."

Hondo Flanks: "Certainly, Tank."

Narrator: "Replied Hondo, and puffed away.

Soon, Tank was explaining his plan.

Soarin: "Goodness Gracious, Tank, I don't think you should suggest such a thing to Dr. Whooves."

Narrator: "But Dr. Whooves interrupted."

Dr. Whooves: "No, Soarin, Tank's right. It's really my fault. I must put this trouble right."

Tank: "I meant no disrespect, you understand."

Dr. Whooves: "Of course not, Tank. Anyway, driver says the same, and he's arranged it with the station master."

Soarin: "Very well, Dr. Whooves."

Narrator: "Conceited Soarin."

Soarin: "But I must hurry; my passengers will be waiting. Good luck!"

Dr. Whooves: "So long!"

Narrator: "Smiled Dr. Whooves bravely, but he felt dreadfully nervous inside.

Dr. Whooves marshalled the worst changelings two by two."

Tank: "That's the way, Mr. Whooves."

Narrator: "Whispered Tank."

Tank: "And if you leave that Cockatrice till' last, then you'll have him behind you, and you can bump him if he starts his nonsense."

Cockatrice: "Hold back, hold back!"

Narrator: "Whispered the cockatrice."

Cockatrice: "And pass the word to the others."

Narrator: "The silly changelings giggled.

But Dr. Whooves knew what to do; there was plenty of sand on the ground and his hooves gripped splendidly. He gave a great heave."

Cockatrice: "Oooh!"

Narrator: "Groaned the cockatrice."

Cockatrice: "I don't like this!"

Soarin: "Go on!"

Narrator: "Yelled Soarin."

Soarin: "Well done, boy, well done!"

Cockatrice: "Ohhh!"

Narrator: "Wailed the cockatrice."

Cockatrice: "I'm coming apart!"

Narrator: "And he did.

Then there was trouble."

Hoity Toity: "Well, Dr. Whooves, so you don't know your own strength, is that it?"

Dr. Whooves: "No, no, sir."

Narrator: "Said Dr. Whooves nervously.

Hoity Toity inspected the cockatrice."

Hoity Toity: "As I've thought; rotten feathers, rusty bones. Maybe if we put your back together, you'll earn yourself a better name."

Narrator: "Nowadays, Dr. Whooves only takes the changelings when the other animals are busy.

But they're always quick to warn each other,"

Changelings: "Take care with Mr. Whooves, if you play tricks on him, you'll never be the same changeling again!"

Narrator: "The cockatrice has learned his lesson, and says nothing at all."

Bulls Eyes
Narrator: "Braeburn the earth pony has a lasso. It helps to stop animals if they escape.

Gilda thought Braeburn's lasso was silly."

Gilda: "You're afraid of getting hurt yourself."

Narrator: "She flounced."

Braeburn: "I'm not!"

Narrator: "Huffed Braeburn."

Gilda: "Yes, you are! I don't have a stupid lasso, but I'm not frighten! I just roar, and they all come to me."

Braeburn: "But they don't."

Narrator: "Said Braeburn."

Gilda: "They would with me. Animals always listen if you roar and look them in the eye."

Braeburn: "Even bulls?"

Gilda: "Even bulls."

Narrator: "Said Gilda.

Gilda had never met a bull, but she purred away quite unconcerned

She roared at a farm crossing, and a horse and cart halted while she went by."

Gilda: "Pooh!"

Narrator: "She said."

Gilda: "It's easy. I just roar, and they all listen. Poor little Braeburn. I'm sorry he's frightened."

Narrator: "At the next station, a policeman was waiting."

Policeman: "There's a bull on the road."

Narrator: "He warned."

Policeman: "Please persuade it to return to the farmer."

Narrator: “Gilda was excited.”

Gilda: “Now,”

Narrator: “She thought.”

Gilda: “I’ll show Braeburn how to manage bulls.”

Narrator: “Champion isn’t really a fierce bull, but this morning he was cross. He'd strayed from his field, crash through a fence, slithered down a slope and now he didn’t know where he was.

Suddenly, he saw some grass.”

Champion: “Now for my breakfast.”

Narrator: “He thought.”

Gilda: “Grrrrr!”

Narrator: “Roared Gilda.”

Gilda: “Go on!”

Narrator: “Champion was too busy chomping to take any notice.”

Gilda: “Grrrrr!”

Narrator: “Said Gilda again. Champion kept grazing.”

Gilda: “This is all wrong.”

Narrator: “Thought Gilda.”

Gilda: “How can I look him in the eye if he won’t turn around?”

Narrator: “At last, he did.”

Champion: “Moo!”

Narrator: “Said Champion.”

Gilda: “Oh, oh, uh!”

Narrator: “Murmured Gilda.”

Gilda: “Why doesn't he run away?”

Gilda’s Driver: “Go on, Gilda!”

Narrator: “Said her driver.”

Gilda’s Driver: “He's harmless.”

Gilda: “Yes.”

Narrator: “Said Gilda unhappily.”

Gilda: “You know he’s harmless, and I know he's harmless. But does he know? Look at his horns. If I bump into him, he might hurt me, uh, them. Uh, the farmer wouldn’t like that.”

Narrator: “Champion sniffed at Gilda.”

Gilda: “Ew!”

Narrator: “Said Gilda, and that was that. Gilda did no more.

Braeburn was bemused and amused to see her back at the station so soon.”

Braeburn: “Bulls always listen if you roar and look them in the eye, eh Gilda?”

Narrator: “Gilda stayed silent.”

Braeburn: “Ah, well.”

Narrator: “Continued Braeburn.”

Braeburn: “We can live and learn. I'd better chase him away for you I suppose.”

Narrator: “He clanked away to find Champion.

Braeburn ranged his bell and blew his whistle, but Champion took no notice.

Then Braeburn kicked the ground loudly. That did the trick. Braeburn kicked a little more. And now breakfast over, Champion chuntered away to join the farmer.

Gilda was feeling exhausted. She was glad when her day's work was over. Some boys were on the platform.”

Boy: “Look Gilda!”

Narrator: “One teased.”

Boy: “I've got some sweets, they’re called Bulls Eyes. I like them, do you?”

Gilda: “Ah, keep your own bulls eyes!”

Narrator: “And Gilda scuttled to her house.”

Spike and the Special Letter
Narrator: "One evening, Spike brought his last delivery to the junction.

Pipsqueak was glad to see him."

Pipsqueak: "Are you on your way to the library, Spike?"

Spike: "Yes I am. Why?"

Pipsqueak: "Because I'm going there too."

Spike: "I think something's up."

Narrator: "Braeburn looked up in the sky."

Braeburn: "Where?"

Spike: "Not up there, down here."

Narrator: "Laughed Spike."

Braeburn: "How can something be up when it's down?"

Narrator: "Spike was too excited to explain."

Spike: "Bust my scales! Look over there."

Narrator: "Twilight Sparkle, Filthy Rich, Snips, Snails, Night Light, Dr. Whooves and Hondo Flanks paraded past."

Night Light: "Good evening, you three."

Narrator: "Whistled Night Light."

Night Light: "Aren't we all a fine sight?"

Braeburn: "Very splendid indeed."

Narrator: "Admired Braeburn."

Night Light: "Sorry we can't stop. Hoity Toity wants us all together at the library."

Spike: "What is this about?"

Narrator: "Asked Spike."

Spike's Driver: "Hoity Toity has a plan."

Narrator: "Answered his driver."

Spike's Driver: "Come on."

Narrator: "So they followed the other ponies to the library at the end of the line."

Hoity Toity: "Silence!"

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "I have an important letter to read from a little girl who is five years old."

The Letter: "Dear Spike and all the animals, please can I meet you? My friends say they would like to meet you too. You can come to my house for tea, but my mummy says there isn't enough space in my house. Can you come to the station instead? Thank you very much."

Hoity Toity: "It seems..."

Narrator: "Continued Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "that there are many girls and boys who would like to meet you. Therefore, we are all going to the big city faraway."

All the Animals: "Hooray! Hooray!"

Narrator: "The animals whistled."

Hoity Toity: "Silence!

Other ponies will be working here while your away. So please show them what to do."

Narrator: "As Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were going to the big city too, Spike and Dr. Whooves practiced with some buffaloes.

Spike grew more and more excited. Too excited for his own good."

Spike: "I'm glad I'm a splendid dragon."

Narrator: "He puffed."

Spike: "Hoity Toity thinks I'm really useful. I had a race with Angel once. I whooshed through the tunnel and stopped an inch from the wall."

Narrator: "Then Spike made his mistake."

Spike: "Just like this!"

Narrator: "He boasted."

(CRASH!)

Narrator: "No one was hurt. But Spike was badly hurt.

They telephoned to Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "I'll send up the workmen."

Narrator: "He said."

Hoity Toity: "But if they can't heal Spike in time, we'll have to go to the big city without him."

Narrator: "Poor Spike.

8 o'clock next morning, the animals waited at the junction. Braeburn and Pipsqueak reached on the wagon, and Soarin had pushed them into place behind Shining Armor. Chief Thunderhooves, Cranky and Big Mac are waiting to lead off. They whistled impatiently. Hoity Toity looked at his watch."

Hoity Toity: "I'll wait one more minute for Spike. Then we have to go."

Spike: "Oh, thank goodness you're sill here."

Narrator: "Panted Spike."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "I hope we're not late as it's just after eight."

Narrator: "The conductor blew his whistle and waved his flag.

The animals cheered."

Animals: "Look out, big city, here we come!"

Narrator: "And the cavalcade puffed away. Later in the big city, all the animals were lined up in a splendid shed. Children were delighted to meet their friends."

Spike: "I'm glad the little girl wrote to us."

Narrator: "Whispered Spike to Pipsqueak."

Spike: "Isn't it wonderful what happiness a letter can bring?"

Paint Pots and Queens/Spike Meets the Queen
Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves the Buffalo and Spike the Dragon walked together back home. It had been a busy day.

First, Spike had teased Chief Thunderhooves about the time the big buffalo had slid into a ditch.

Then, Spike fell down a mine. And Chief Thunderhooves came to his rescue."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Remember Spike,"

Narrator: "Called Chief Thunderhooves grandly."

Chief Thunderhooves: "United we stand, together we fall. You help me, and I'll help you."

Spike: "I'll remember."

Narrator: "Replied Spike."

Spike: "But I hope Hoity Toity forgives us soon."

Narrator: "Suddenly, they noticed something. As the two animals whistled into the sheds, everywhere they look, they saw paint pots and painters."

Spike: "Bust my scales!"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "What's happening?"

Pipsqueak: "Shhh."

Narrator: "Whispered Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Hoity Toity is going to tell us now."

Hoity Toity: "Ladies and gentlemen and animals, I am honor to inform you that her majesty, the Queen herself is coming here to visit us. Now, on with the preparations."

Narrator: "The animals wondered who would pull the royal cart."

Shining Armor: "I'm too old to pull important carts."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'm in disgrace."

Narrator: "Sighed Chief Thunderhooves."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "He'll choose me, of course."

Narrator: "Boasted Cranky."

Big Macintosh: "You?"

Narrator: "Snorted Big Macintosh."

Big Macintosh: "You can't climb hill! He'll ask me to pull the cart, and I'll have some new fur."

Narrator: "Then, the rain came.

Big Mac's driver and fireman covered up to keep dry. A painter was on the ladder above the road. Big Mac's dust blew high into the air. The painter couldn't see. Both and the painter pot fell all over Big Mac.

Poor Big Mac."

Painter: "Well, you're not a pretty picture!"

Narrator: "Sneered the painter.

Hoity Toity spoke next."

Hoity Toity: "You look like an iced cake, Big Mac. That won't do for the royal cart. I must make other arrangements."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves and Spike were waiting for him."

Chief Thunderhooves and Spike: "Please, sir."

Hoity Toity: "One at a time."

Narrator: "Replied Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "Yes, Chief Thunderhooves?"

Chief Thunderhooves: "May Spike have his route again?"

Hoity Toity: "Hmmm.

I think you are both sorry and deserve a treat. Shining Armor will go in front to clear the road, Spike will look after the carts and Chief Thunderhooves will pull the royal cart."

Narrator: "The great day came. All the animals worked hard bringing people to the town.

Spike sorted out their carts in the yard.

Shining Armor walked in."

Shining Armor: "Peep! The queen is here!"

Narrator: "Then, Chief Thunderhooves whistled as he approached the station. Everyone knew that sound.

The queen's cart glided into the station. Chief Thunderhooves was spotless, and his horns shown brightly.

Hoity Toity stood to attention."

Hoity Toity: "Welcome ma'am."

Narrator: "The queen thanked him for a splendid run, and asked to see all the animals."

Pipsqueak and Braeburn: "Peep, peep!"

Narrator: "Whistled Braeburn and Pipsqueak."

Big Macintosh and Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Shhh!"

Narrator: "Hissed Big Mac and Cranky. But Braeburn and Pipsqueak didn't care."

Pipsqueak and Braeburn: "Three cheers for the queen!"

All the Animals: "Peep, peep!"

Narrator: "Whistled the animals.

When it was time to leave, the queen spoke specially to Spike, who fetch her cart, then to Shining Armor, and finally to Chief Thunderhooves, who took her away.

No animals ever felt prouder than those in Hoity Toity's town."

Fish
Narrator: "On starry nights when the moon is full and the air still, you can hear the sounds of faraway ships and distant laughter. They echoed over the hills and through the valleys, down calm canals and sleepy inlits. Every animal knows that these are the sounds that say the harbour is hard at work at the big station by the sea.

One night, a special load of fish was ordered. Hoity Toity decided that extra changelings must be added to the line that the men called The Flying Kipper. The only changleings available were old ones. They had not been used for a long time. Big Macintosh waited impatiently by the keyside as Soarin arranged them into position.

Spike walked by with the mail."

Spike: "Hello Soarin. Going fishing? I'd take care if I were you."

Soarin: "Why?"

Narrator: "Huffed Soarin."

Spike: "Well for one thing,"

Narrator: "Puffed Spike, remembering his own experience."

Spike: "If fish get into a pony's body, they always cause trouble. And for another, fish can be awfully smelly. And I know what I'm talking about. Good night."

Narrator: "Big Mac grunted dreadfully."

Big Macintosh's Driver: "You'll just have to put up with it, Big Mac."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Big Macintosh's Driver: "At least the extra load will mean you can have another animal help us up Chief Thunderhooves' hill."

Narrator: "Meanwhile, Soarin was waiting at Shining Armor's station. So that he could help the heavy line by pushing from behind.

Big Mac made good progress.

When they reach Shining Armor's station, his driver stopped the line beyond the platform. Then Big Mac gave a special signal."

Big Macintosh: "Peep, peep, peep, peep! I need help please?"

Soarin: "Peep, peep!"

Narrator: "Replied Soarin."

Soarin: "I won't be long."

Narrator: "Soarin walked gently up to Big Mac's line. He was not hooked on. Big Mac would then be able to run on without stopping when they reached the top of the hill."

Soarin: "Ready!"

Narrator: "Whistled Soarin. And off they went.

Soon they reached Chief Thunderhooves' hill."

Big Macintosh: "Push hard, push hard!"

Narrator: "Puffed Big Mac."

Soarin: "We're doing it, we're doing it!"

Narrator: "Replied Soarin. Big Mac was pulling harder than he realized."

(Lamp falls off)

Narrator: "Soarin felt the weight on the front of him slacking. Then Soaring noticed something else."

Soarin: "There's no sign of a tail lamp."

Narrator: "He thought. He whistled, but there was no reply. Meanwhile Big Mac had noticed something too."

Big Macintosh: "My line's getting heavier."

Narrator: "He thought to himself."

Big Macintosh: "I'm slowing down!"

Narrator: "Then there was trouble."

(CRASH!)

Narrator: "No one was hurt, but a strong smell of fish hung in the air.

Next day, workmen found the broken tail lamp at the bottom of the hill. Hoity Toity spoke kindly to Soarin."

Hoity Toity: "The accident wasn't your fault. We should've checked that this tail lamp was fixed on properly. We'll soon have you in working order again."

Soarin: "Thank you sir."

Narrator: "Said Soarin sadly."

Soarin: "Spike told me to be careful about fish. They got me in a right pickle, didn't they?"

Special Attraction
Narrator: "Braeburn the Earth Pony was very excited. He was holding a brand-new bell that shone like gold. He was off to the seaside. His driver was explaining everything as they travelled along Acme Acres."

Braeburn's Driver: "There's a seaside village near here. And every year, they have a big parade, with a special attraction for all the visitors.

This year, Braeburn, you're the special attraction."

Braeburn: "Thank you, sir,"

Narrator: "Said Braeburn."

Braeburn: "But what does a special attraction do?"

Braeburn's Driver: "Oh, just smiles and whistles at everyone."

Narrator: "Replied his driver."

Braeburn's Driver: "We're almost there. Listen, you can hear the seagulls."

Narrator: "Soon, they reached the little station by the village, but instead of a big welcome, there was just one man.

He whispered to Braeburn's driver and turned sadly away."

Braeburn's Driver: "Well, if that doesn't take the biscuit!"

Narrator: "Said Braeburn's driver."

Braeburn's Driver: "They've run out of room in the parade and don't need a special attraction after all. We've got to go home, Braeburn. I'm sorry, old boy."

Braeburn: "Eh, so am I."

Narrator: "Sighed Braeburn.

Pispqueak was arranging things in the yard. He didn't expect to see Braeburn."

Pipsqueak: "What are you doing back so soon?"

Narrator: "Before Braeburn could reply, Hoity Toity arrived."

Hoity Toity: "Leave these changelings here, Pipsqueak. There's an emergency at the harbor."

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

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "This will be trouble with Ahuizotl!"

Pipsqueak: "Who's Ahuizotl?"

Narrator: "Wondered Pipsqueak.

He was still surprised about Braeburn, and now he had two puzzles to sort out. His driver explained."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "Ahuizotl is a disagreeable creature. He never stops complaining."

Narrator: "His driver was right about Ahuizotl. Today, the creature was more bad-tempered than ever."

Ahuizotl: "Come on, come on, (hiccup) why aren't you changelings where you should be?"

Changelings: "There's no animal, and we can only go where we're put!"

Narrator: "Shouted the changelings."

Changelings: "You're in the wrong place, not us!"

Narrator: "When Pipsqueak arrived, Ahuizotl was sulking, and the changelings were crosser still."

Changelings: "Our stone is for Ahuizotl. Please put us in a siding, so that we can load him up and be rid of him!"

Narrator: "But the changelings were being careless. As Pipsqueak was lining them up, they burst through a barrier."

Changelings: "Help! Help!"

Narrator: "They wailed.

But it was too late!"

(CRASH!)

Ahuizotl: "Oh!"

Narrator: "Cried Ahuizotl."

Ahuizotl: "I'm sinking!"

Changelings: "Serves you right!"

Narrator: "Giggled the changelings."

Changelings: "You were always barging in and moaning!"

Narrator: "It took a very long time to clear the mess.

Pipsqueak watched as Ahuizotl was dragged to the beach."

Workmen: "There you are!"

Narrator: "Said the workmen."

Workmen: "Now you can just stay here. Children can play with you all day, and at long last, you'll be useful."

Ahuizotl: (Groans)

Narrator: "When Pipsqueak got home, he and Braeburn exchanged all their news."

Braeburn: "Well, we both had some seaside surprises today."

Narrator: "Laughed Braeburn."

Braeburn: "But driver says that I'm a special attraction anyway, and so are you. Every time we go on our own line."

Pipsqueak: "What do you mean?"

Narrator: "Asked Pipsqueak."

Braeburn: "Well, all we have to do is smile and whistle at everyone!"

Mind That Bike
Narrator: "If one day you were to travel with Angel the Rabbit, you would run down the winding country road with him, cross over stone-walled bridges, and travel past Spike's route.

Then, you would hear Angel's friendly greeting as he sees one of his friends pass by.

His name is Parcel Post, the Postpony.

Every day, Parcel Post travels cheerfully around Ponyville.

He stops at stations, collecting letters and parcels from Spike and Pipsqueak's mail bags.

Then, he delivers the mail to farms and cottages far and wide.

The animals know that anywhere their roads won't reach, Parcel Post will collect their mail and deliver it safely, come rain or shine.

He's always ready to load mail bags for Spike and Pipsqueak, too."

Pipsqueak: "Thank you, Parcel Post."

Narrator: "Whistles Pipsqueak."

Spike: "Yes, indeed."

Narrator: "Agrees Spike."

Spike: "You're a really useful postpony."

Parcel Post: "Ah,"

Narrator: "Replies Parcel Post."

Parcel Post: "But where would I be without me van? We make a grand pair."

Narrator: "One day, Parcel Post wasn't at the platform. A postman they didn't know dumped the bags on the platform and disappeared."

Pipsqueak: "What happened to Parcel Post?"

Narrator: "Wondered Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "And his old van?"

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "No wonder the new postman looks cross. Trying to carry mail bags on a bicycle would make anyone miserable."

Narrator: "Next morning, the animals were glad to see Parcel Post back again. But he looked very sad."

Parcel Post: "The postmaster decided my van was too expensive to run. The rounds take longer on my bike. I'm sorry, I can't stop to help you."

Pipsqueak: "I wish I could cheer Parcel Post up."

Narrator: "Sighed Pipsqueak. He was just wondering about how this might be done, when his thoughts were rudely interrupted. A man was shouting at Parcel Post."

Man: "You've got to come back to Hoity Toity's office. He needs you to sign some important papers right away."

Parcel Post: "Oh, dear."

Narrator: "Replied Parcel Post."

Parcel Post: "This is going to make me later still!"

Narrator: "He was in a hurry, and being careless. He propped his bike against Pipsqueak's mail bag and rushed away."

Pipsqueak: "Stop!"

Narrator: "Cried Pipsqueak. But Parcel Post was out of sight. There was worse to come. Pipsqueak's driver hadn't seen the bike and he started away."

Pipsqueak: "Oh, no!"

Narrator: "Cried Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Now there'll be trouble!"

Narrator: "And there was. Pipsqueak's driver quickly stopped.

Everyone came running to the scene. Parcel Post's bicycle was in pieces!"

Pipsqueak: "I'm sorry, Parcel Post!"

Narrator: "Apologized Pipsqueak."

Parcel Post: "Never mind, Pipsqueak."

Narrator: "Said Parcel Post."

Parcel Post: "It wasn't your fault. But now I've only my legs to get the mail delivered. Whatever will happen next?"

Narrator: "Parcel Post soon found out. Next day, he was waiting happily for Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Peep peep!"

Narrator: "Whistled Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Is that a smart new van I see?"

Parcel Post: "It is indeed. That accident did me a good turn, Pipsqueak. My chief decided a new van would do the job, much better than another bike and worth the expense. Now I can always be on time again."

Pipsqueak: "So I did help."

Narrator: "Beamed Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "But by accident, you might say."
