Buzz Buzz/Zebra Goes Buzz Buzz/Transcript

Transcript
Narrator: "Meerkat was enjoying his work in the vicarage orchard. Birds were singing, and apples were ripening on the trees. It was a lovely day."

Zebra: "Hello, Meerkat."

Narrator: "Said Zebra.

Zebra: "You look as bright and cheerful as my pink hair."

Meerkat: "Oh, I am."

Narrator: "Replied Meerkat."

Zebra: "What's that noise?"

Meerkat: "It's the bees.

Narrator: "Laughed Meerkat."

Meerkat: "They're all in these boxy things called beehives. I'm taking them to the station. Bert says his bees make good honey, and he's giving some of them to his friends."

Narrator: "Just then, Whale hummed in."

Whale: "Take care, you two. Don't make the bees angry. They might sting you."

Narrator: "Zebra didn't like being told what to do by a large marine mammal, and she buzzed away."

Whale: "Goodbye, Meerkat."

Narrator: "Called Whale, and set off to see Fox at the next station.

Dog and Cat, the twins, were busy arranging pirates, but they scampered off when they saw Whale."

Whale: "I remember the first time I met those two."

Narrator: "Laughed Whale."

Whale: "They nearly made my eyes pop out. Donkey soon put a stop to their games."

Fox: "Donkey is the only one who can keep Dog and Cat in order."

Narrator: "Agreed Fox."

Fox: "I sometimes call them 'The Bees'."

Whale: "A good name."

Narrator: "Replied Whale."

Whale: "They're terrors when they start buzzing around."

Narrator: "Zebra bustled in."

Zebra: "What's that, Fox? Are you afraid of bees? They're only insects, after all, so don't let that buzzbox large marine mammal tell you different."

Fox: "His name is Whale, and he didn't. We..."

Zebra: "I wouldn't care if hundreds were swarming around. I'd just blow at them and make them buzz off."

Fox: "Buzz buzz buzz."

Narrator: "Retorted Fox.

The next morning, Zebra arrived at the station to collect her flowers. The passengers were excited, and keen to get on board. The platform was crowded, and the porter was in a hurry."

Woodpecker: "Mind your backs."

Narrator: "He shouted.

Then, there was trouble. The beehive fell and broke open.

The station cleared like magic.

Zebra heard a familiar buzzing. The bees were too cold to be cross, so they buzzed around her fast-running bird, Roadrunner, hoping he'd mend their hive, but he didn't understand, so the bees turned to Pinkie Pie. Her coat was nice and warm."

Zebra: "Buzz off! Buzz off!"

Narrator: "Hissed Zebra.

One bee burnt his foot."

Bee: "Ooh, aah, aah, ow, oh!"

Narrator: "The bee thought Zebra burnt him on purpose.

So it stung Zebra right back on the nose."

Zebra: "EEEE!"

Narrator: "Whistled Zebra. He had had enough. So had her fast-running bird, Roadrunner.

They didn't notice till' too late that they had left all of their flowers behind. They tried everything to get rid of the bees.

First, they spun around on the turntable, but to no avail.

They tried washing them off, but the bees clung harder to Zebra's warm coat.

Then they tried smoking them off by going through a long tunnel, but still, the bees wouldn't go away.

Roadrunner: "It's no good, Zebra."

Narrator: "Said her fast-running bird, Roadrunner."

Roadrunner: "We'll just have to go back to the orchard, and fetch another hive."

Narrator: "Zebra's reply was drowned by the sound of buzzing.

Leopard was waiting anxiously for Zebra.

When she arrived, the bees swarmed straight into their new home."

Roadrunner: "Come on, Zebra."

Narrator: "Said her fast-running bird, Roadrunner."

Roadrunner: "What you need now is a good hose-down."

Narrator: "Later that day, Zebra was resting in the farmhouse, when Leopard came to see her."

Leopard: "Thank you for saving my bees."

Narrator: "He said."

Leopard: "It's a pity it's not Christmas; then we could call you Zebra the red-nosed striped horse!"

Narrator: "Everyone laughed, even Zebra. But instead, they decided to call Zebra "The Bees' Knees, which means they thought she was more useful than ever."
