Transcript
Narrator: "Big Bird the Yellow Bird was busy talking to the other TV Characters. It was his first visit to their land and he was having a splendid time."

Big Bird: "You are very lucky TV Characters."

Narrator: "He said."

Big Bird: "Your land 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 goombas. Goombas are fun. I missed them on our land."

Narrator: "Bart was surprised. All the TV Characters thought goombas were trouble."

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

Narrator: "He said."

Bart: "But you better ask driver first."

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

RS Mr. Conductor and Grandpa Dave were speechless.

Big Bird took the goombas 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. Big Bird and his driver had to wait at a signal."

Big Bird's Driver: "Good."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Big Bird's Driver: "We can watch the game."

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

Crows: "Stop!"

Narrator: "Yelled the crows. But Big Bird didn't hear them."

Big Bird: "Come along. Come along."

Narrator: "He puffed to the goombas."

Crows: "Our one and only ball."

Narrator: "Cried the crows."

Crows: "Wake up, Zoe."

Narrator: "They said to their dog."

Crows: "The chase is on."

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

Big Bird wasn't hurrying. Zoe soon came up behind."

Zoe: "Ruff, ruff!"

Narrator: "She barked. The crows shouted but Big Bird was still too far for his driver and fireman to see or hear properly. They completely misunderstood."

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

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Big Bird's Driver: "They can have one. Faster, Big Bird! Faster!"

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

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

Narrator: "She grumbled."

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

Narrator: "Suddenly, Big Bird was nowhere to be seen."

Zoe: "Hurrah!"

Narrator: "Cried Zoe."

Zoe: "That silly bird has run into a hole so we can't catch it. I can go home now."

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

Crows: "We need our ball back."

Narrator: "Cried the crows and explained everything.

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

Glasses Crow: "We found it!"

Narrator: "Cried a crow."

Big Bird's Driver: "We're sorry."

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Glasses Crow: "Ah, you couldn't help it."

Narrator: "Replied the crow."

Glasses Crow: "Now, we must get back quickly."

Big Bird's Driver: "You'll be lucky."

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Big Bird's Driver: "Zoe 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 Zoe onto a wagon and a trailer coupled behind. The crows crowded inside and Big Bird took them back to the playing field.

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

Big Bird: "She doesn't think birds silly now."

Zoe: "They have their uses."

Narrator: "She said."

Zoe: "They can save the wear on a poor dog's paw."
