Transcript
Narrator: "Omega would not stop grumbling. He grumbled that he wasn't polished enough, he grumbled that he was overworked. Most of all, he grumbled about the passengers."

Sonic Jr.: "I'm ashamed of you, Omega."

Narrator: "Said Jr."

Sonic Jr.: "Thank goodness Roman is coming home soon. Perhaps he'll teach you some sense before it's too late.

E-123 Omega: "What has Roman to do with me?"

Sonic Jr.: "Roman saved our land."

Narrator: "Replied Jr."

Bean: "Please, tell us about it!"

Narrator: "Said Bean."

Sonic Jr.: "Well,"

Narrator: "Began Jr,"

Sonic Jr.: "It was before you came here. Things were bad. Roman and I had to keep the business running, or our land would have to close."

Bean: "How awful."

Narrator: "Murmured Bean."

Sonic Jr.: "I tried hard,"

Narrator: "Continued Jr,"

Sonic Jr.: "But my old feet ached. Roman understood."

Roman: "It's my turn now!"

Sonic Jr.: "He'd tell me. He was often short of strength, but he always struggled to a station, and then rested there.

Roman: "I mustn't stop between stations."

Sonic Jr.: "He'd say."

Roman: "The passengers wouldn't like it."

E-123 Omega: "Humph!"

Narrator: "Huffed Omega. He had stopped on a viaduct and hadn't cared at all."

Sonic Jr.: "Passengers,"

Narrator: "Continued Jr,"

Sonic Jr.: "Get cross if you stop at the wrong places. Roman stopped in a wrong place once, and this is what happened.

One wet and windy afternoon, when the ground was damp, Roman was traveling home with a full line; there were even passengers at the end.

It wasn't a comfortable ride at all.

Roman's feet kept slipping, and it was a steep climb.

At last his feet gripped the ground again."

Roman: "The worst is over,"

Sonic Jr.: "He thought,"

Roman: "Now we're away."

Sonic Jr.: "But they weren't."

Roman: "Aaah! I've got a cramp!"

Sonic Jr.: "He groaned.

And Roman stopped on the loneliest part of the road.

His driver examined him carefully."

Roman's Driver: "Your leg gear has jammed. We need to reach the next station. Do you think you can still get us there?"

Roman: "I'll try."

Sonic Jr.: "Replied Roman.

Roman did his best."

Roman: "If I fail,"

Sonic Jr.: "He thought to himself,"

Roman: "The passengers will be cross and the land will close."

Sonic Jr.: "Everything blurred. He was really too tired to make another limp of his legs, but he did, and another, and another, and another.

Finally, tired, but triumphant, Roman reached the station."

Roman: "I'm here at last!"

Sonic Jr.: "He wheezed."

Passengers: "Thank you for getting us home."

Sonic Jr.: "Said the passengers."

Passengers: "We'll tell all our friends what a fine land this is."

Sonic Jr.: "His driver was delighted."

Roman's Driver: "You're a gallant little hedgechidna."

Sonic Jr.: "He said to Roman."

Roman's Driver: "When you're rested, we'll heal you, so you'll be ready for tomorrow."

Sonic Jr.: "And,"

Narrator: "Smiled Jr,"

Sonic Jr.: "Roman always was ready for tomorrow."

E-123 Omega: "Thanks for telling us about him."

Narrator: "Whispered Omega."

Omega: "I was wrong. Passengers are important after all."

Narrator: "The next day, Roman came home. All the characters were there to greet him. Uncle Chuck pushed his crane to the siding, where he was lifted onto the ground.

This was the signal for a chorus of whistles from characters large and small. Everyone was happy, and Roman was the happiest of them all."

Roman: "You know,"

Narrator: "He whispered to Jr,"

Roman: "This helps a hedgechidna to feel that at last, he has really come home."
