Transcript
Narrator: "Gummy the baby alligator enjoyed living in the vicarage orchard. Shining Armor came to see him everyday, but sometimes, Gummy didn't have enough work to do."

Gummy: "I do like to like to keep busy all the time."

Narrator: "He sighed one day."

Gummy: "And I do like company, especially children's company."

Shining Armor: "Cheer up."

Narrator: "Smiled Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "Hoity Toity has work for you at his new harbor. I'm to take you to meet Spike today."

Gummy: "Oh!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed Gummy happily."

Gummy: "A harbor, the seaside, children. That will be lovely!"

Narrator: "Spike was on his way to the harbor with a load of metal pilings. There were needed to make the harbor wall firm and safe."

Shining Armor: "Hello, Spike."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "This is Gummy, a friend of mine. He's a baby alligator."

Narrator: "Spike eyed the newcomer doubtfully."

Spike: "A what?"

Narrator: "He asked."

Gummy: "A baby alligator."

Narrator: "Exclaimed Gummy."

Gummy: "I travel in water instead of roads. Can you take me to the harbor, please? Hoity Toity has a job for me."

Spike: "Yes, of course."

Narrator: "Replied Spike. But he was still puzzled.

Workmen gave Gummy to Spike, and soon, they were ready to start their journey."

Gummy: "I'm glad Hoity Toity needs me."

Narrator: "Called Gummy."

Gummy: "I don't have enough to do sometimes, you know, Although, I can work anywhere. In orchards, on farms, in scrapyards, even at harbors."

Spike: "But you don't run on the roads."

Narrator: "Puffed Spike."

Gummy: "I'm a baby alligator. I don't need roads to be useful."

Narrator: "Replied Gummy."

Gummy: "You wait and see."

Narrator: "When they reached the harbor, they found everything in confusion. Changelings were blocking the roads, and stone slabs lay everywhere."

Spike's Driver: "We must get these pilings past."

Narrator: "Said Spike's driver."

Spike's Driver: "Gummy, we need you to drag them around this mess."

Gummy: "Just the sort of job I like."

Narrator: "Replied Gummy."

Gummy: "Now you'll see Spike. I'll soon show you what baby alligators can do."

Narrator: "Gummy was as good as his word. He dragged the pilings clear with chains, and towed them into position."

Gummy: "Who needs roads?"

Narrator: "He muttered cheerfully to himself.

Later, Spike brought Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle to meet him. Spike was most impressed."

Spike: "Now I understand how useful a baby alligator can be."

Narrator: "The fillies had lots of children. Gummy gave them rides along the harbor. He liked this best of all."

Apple Bloom: "He's very kind."

Narrator: "Said Apple Bloom."

Sweetie Belle: "He reminds me of Spike."

Narrator: "Added Sweetie Belle.

Everyone was sorry when it was time for Gummy to go. Spike took him to the junction.

A small tear came into Gummy's eye. Spike pretended not to see. He whistled cheerfully to make Gummy happy."

Spike: "I'll come and see you if I can."

Narrator: "He promised."

Spike: "The vicar will look after you, and there's plenty of work for you now at the orchard. But we may need you again at the harbor someday."

Gummy: "That will be wonderful."

Narrator: "Said Gummy.

That evening, Gummy stood remember his new friend, Spike, the harbor and most of all, the children. Then he went happily to sleep in the house at the bottom of the orchard."
