Transcript
Narrator: "It was a glorious summer day in Ponyville. Braeburn was collecting milk from the dairy. Cranky was taking passengers to Ponyville Docks. And Spike was taking some workmen to work. They were building a new building. Every day, Spike had to take the workmen there and bring them home again."

Spike: "I can't wait for the grand opening!"

Narrator: "He told Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle excitedly."

Spike: "There's going to be flags and a big band."

Narrator: "On the way to the new building, there was a difficult bend in the path. Spike didn't like it at all. He was worried about the bend. But his good friends, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, were there to help him."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "Slow down."

Narrator: "They sang out."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "Slow down and puff with care."

Narrator: "So Spike did slow down, and he puffed with care."

Spike: "Thank you."

Narrator: "Spike puffed to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle."

Spike: "I couldn't have done it without you."

Narrator: "Spike arrived safely at the building. Hoity Toity was waiting for him."

Hoity Toity: "Today, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are to go for their re-fit."

Narrator: "He told Spike."

Hoity Toity: "You must take them to the workshop straight away."

Spike: "But how will I take the workmen home?"

Narrator: "Asked Spike."

Hoity Toity: "You can use buffaloes instead."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Spike: "Yes, sir."

Narrator: "Said Spike. And he puffed away to the workshop.

Spike said goodbye to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. He was sad."

Spike: "I don't know how I'll manage the difficult bend without you."

Narrator: "He told his friends.

The next day, Spike puffed to the yard.

He was still thinking about the difficult bend. Spike went too fast and gave the buffaloes a mighty biff. The buffaloes rolled along the path and bumped into Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Watch what you're doing!"

Narrator: "Cranky snorted."

Spike: "Sorry."

Narrator: "Spike puffed. Spike was missing Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. He would never have biffed into them.

Soon Spike was on his way to pick up the workers at the new building."

Spike: "Difficult bend, difficult bend."

Narrator: "He puffed nervously. The difficult bend came nearer and nearer. Spike was supposed to slow down, but he wanted to get past the bend quickly. So Spike went faster and faster. The buffaloes rattled and shook."

Spike: "Soon be over, soon be over."

Narrator: "Spike said to himself.

And soon it was!"

(Crash!)

Narrator: "Luckily, no one was hurt. But Spike felt sadder than ever.

Caramel arrived to clear up the mess. Caramel didn't like seeing Spike so unhappy."

Spike: "I can't go around the difficult bend."

Narrator: "Spike wheeshed sadly."

Spike: "I'm not a useful dragon without Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle."

Caramel: "You are a really useful dragon."

Narrator: "Said Caramel."

Caramel: "And a jolly good friend."

Narrator: "And he puffed away.

Spike trundled slowly back to the library. He was very sad. He wanted to be back with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.

Suddenly, Spike saw a line of changelings rushing towards him. They had come unhooked from Shining Armor."

Spike: "Fire and scales!"

Narrator: "Cried Spike."

Spike: The changelings are heading for the new building, and they're going too fast! I must warn the stationmaster!"

Narrator: "So he raced after them.

The changelings clattered along the path. Spike was determined to save the new building. So he dashed after the runaway changelings. Spike went faster and faster. He raced past the changelings, but he was nearly at the difficult bend.

Spike wanted to go fast, but he knew he couldn't."

Spike: "Slow down."

Narrator: "Said Spike to himself."

Spike: "Slow down and puff with care!"

Narrator: "Spike slowed down and puffed very carefully. He made it around the difficult bend, all by himself."

Spike: "I've done it!"

Narrator: "He tooted. But so did the runaway changelings.

Spike puffed as fast as he could. And he raced into the building just in time."

Spike: "Runaway changelings are coming!"

Narrator: "He cried."

Spike: "You must change the points!"

Narrator: "The signalman quickly changed the points. The troublesome changelings hurdled into a siding. They biffed and bashed the buffers! But the station was safe.

The next day, Spike was back with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. They were going to the grand opening of the new building. They chugged along happily together. And when they came to a difficult bend, Spike slowed down and puffed with care. The difficult bend wasn't difficult anymore.

The grand opening was a great success and the new building looked wonderful.

Hoity Toity came to see Spike."

Hoity Toity: "You have saved my new station."

Narrator: "He said."

Hoity Toity: "You are a very brave and useful dragon."

Spike: "Thank you, sir."

Narrator: "Said Spike. He was so proud, it made his scales glow."
