Transcript
Narrator: "Pongo the Dalmatian was ill. Workmen had tried to make him better, but it was no use."

Mickey Mouse: "Hercules must take you to the works."

Narrator: "Said Mickey Mouse.

Pongo felt very miserable.

Then, Mickey spoke to Jiminy Cricket."

Mickey Mouse: "I want you to help Piglet and Friar Tuck while Pongo is away."

Narrator: "Jiminy was delighted.

He already knew Piglet, and soon made friends with Friar Tuck and Tod. Sebastian the Crab gave him a big welcome too."

Sebastian: "Take care of Pong's ducks."

Narrator: "He advised."

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

Narrator: "Jiminy was very gently with the ducks. Abigail and Amelia were impressed."

Abigail and Amelia: "Such nice manners."

Narrator: "They told each other."

Abigail and Amelia: "It really is a pleasure to go out with him."

Narrator: "When Pongo came back, Abigail and Amelia told him how well Jiminy had managed. Pongo was so please to be home that he soon forgot to be jealous.

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

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

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

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

Pongo: "Not long now."

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

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

Abigail and Amelia: "Stop, stop!"

Narrator: "Shrieked Abigail and Amelia. But Pongo, with plenty of energy, kept on going. The alarm went off down the path."

Signalman: "Stop the runaway!"

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

At last, Pongo was tiring."

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

Narrator: "He panted wearily.

As they neared the next station, Pongo saw Owl land.

They entered the platform slowly enough for Captain Greer to act. Judging his moment, Captain Greer jumped on Pongo and stopped him.

At last, Pongo stopped. Both he and Captain Greer were very relief. Then they thanked Owl."

Owl: "Thank nothing of it."

Narrator: "Whirled Owl."

Owl: "Glad to be of service anytime."

Captain Greer: "Phew!"

Narrator: "Remarked Captain Greer."

Captain Greer: "We must never let this happen again, Pongo."

Narrator: "Wearily, Pongo agreed with him."
