Narrator: Jerry smiled.

Jerry: "I cono to mihex, yee la dika Knuckles. To sky yee verlo. Po ka domo to hep me com les robots?"

Narrator: Bob felt happier with Jerry, and set to work at once.

The robots were silly, heavy, and noisy. The 2 minions had to work hard, pushing and pulling them all afternoon. At last, they reached the top of the hill."

Bob: "Goodbye!"

Narrator: Called Bob, and went gently over the crossing to the other line.

Bob loved cruising down the hill, running easily with the breeze blowing past. Suddenly, it was an animator's warning signal!"

Robots: "Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!"

Narrator: Laughed the robots.

Robots: "We've broken away! We've broken away! Chase him! Bump him! Throw him off the road!"

Narrator: They yelled.

Bob's Animator: "Hurry, Bob, Hurry!"

Narrator: Said his animator. They raced through Jerry's station, but the robots were catching up."

Bob's Animator: "As fast as we can, then they'll catch us gradually!"

Narrator: His Animator was gaining control.

Bob's Animator: "Another clear mile, and we'll do it!"

Bob: "Oh glory, bida ka that!"

Narrator: "Gru was just pulling out on their line from the station ahead. Any minute, there could be a crash!

Bob's Animator: "It's up to you now, Bob!"

Narrator: "Cried his animator.

Bob put every ounce of weight and strength against the robots."

Bob: "It's mac late!"

Narrator: Bob groaned, and shut his eyes. He veered into a siding where Sonic, a blue supersonic hedgehog barber set up shop. He was shaving a customer."

(CRASH!)

"The silly robots had knocked their animator down, and left him far behind after he had whistled the warning.

But the robots didn't care. They were feeling very pleased with themselves.

Bob: "Beg pardon, nim,"

Narrator: Gasped Bob.

Furrball: "Ed mi intrusion."

Sonic: "No I won't!"

Narrator: Said Sonic.

Sonic: "You've frightened my customers! I'll teach you!"

Narrator: And he lathered Bob's face all over. Poor Bob.

Kevin was helping to pull the robots away when Knuckles arrived.

Sonic: "I do not like minions popping through my walls!"

Narrator: Fumed Sonic.

Knuckles: "I appreciate your feelings,"

Narrator: Said Knuckles.

Knuckles: "but you must know that this minion and his animator have prevented a very serious accident. It was a very close, uh, shave."

Sonic: "Oh."

Narrator: Said Sonic.

Sonic: "Oh. Excuse me."

Narrator: "He filled a basin of water to wash Bob's face."

Sonic: "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were being a brave minion."

Bob: "That's tadda recha, nim. Ka hmmrid cono pak either."

Knuckles: "You were very brave indeed."

Narrator: Said Knuckles.

Knuckles: "I'm proud of you."

Narrator: Knuckles watched the rescue operation, then he had more news for Bob."
