Spike and Angel's Great Race
Narrator: "Spike was waiting at a junction when a rabbit arrived."

Spike: "Hello,"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "Who are you?"

Angel: "I'm Angel. Who are you?"

Spike: "I'm Spike. I run this path."

Angel: "So you're Spike? Ah, I remember now. You got stuck in the snow. I took your passengers and Featherweight the Pegasus pulled you out. I've come to help you with your passengers today."

Spike: "Help me?"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "I can go faster than you."

Angel: "You can't."

Narrator: "Said Angel."

Spike: "I can!"

Narrator: "Huffed Spike."

Angel: "I'll race you."

Narrator: "Said Angel.

Their drivers agreed to the race going ahead.

The stationmaster said,

Stationmaster: "Are you ready? Go!"

Narrator: "Spike never could go fast at first, and Angel drew in front.

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "Why don't you go fast? Why don't you go fast?"

Narrator: "Called Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle."

Spike: "Wait and see, wait and see."

Narrator: "Hissed Spike."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "He's a long way ahead!"

Narrator: "They wailed.

But Spike didn't mind. He'd remembered the level crossing.

There was Angel fuming at the gates while they sailed gaily through."

Spike: "Goodbye, Angel!"

Narrator: "Called Spike.

After that, the paths left each other, so they couldn't see Angel.

Then, they had to stop at the station to let off passengers."

Spike: "Peep peep! Quickly, please!"

Narrator: "Called Spike, and off they went again."

Spike: "Come along, come along!"

Narrator: "Sang Spike."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "We're coming along, we're coming along!"

Narrator: "Sang Apple Bloom and Sweetie."

Spike: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Narrator: "Panted Spike, then he looked ahead. There was Angel, whistling triumphantly."

Spike: "Oh, dearie me. Oh, dearie me."

Narrator: "Groaned Spike."

Spike's Driver: "Steady, Spike."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Spike's Driver: "We'll beat Angel yet."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "We'll beat Angel yet, we'll beat Angel yet."

Narrator: "Echoed Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle."

Spike: "We'll do it, we'll do it."

Narrator: "Panted Spike."

Spike: "Oh, bother! There's a station."

Narrator: "Then, he heard Angel."

Angel: "Goodbye, Spike! You must be tired. Sorry I can't stop. We rabbits have to work, you know. Good-bye."

Spike: "Oh, dear."

Narrator: "Thought Spike."

Spike: "We've lost."

Narrator: "But he felt better after a drink.

The signal dropped."

Spike: "Hurrah, we're off! Hurrah, we're off!"

Narrator: "Puffed Spike.

As they crossed the bridge, they heard an impatient whistle.

There was Angel, waiting at the traffic lights.

He started with a roar, and chased on after Spike again.

Now, Spike reached his full speed. Angel tried hard, but Spike was too fast.

Whistling triumphantly, he plunged into the tunnel, leaving Angel far behind."

Spike: "We've done it! We've done it!"

Narrator: "Panted Spike."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "We've done it, hooray! We've done it, hooray!"

Narrator: "Chanted Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, as they whooshed into the last station.

Everyone was there to celebrate Spike's victory, but they gave Angel a big welcome, too."

Angel: "Well done, Spike!"

Narrator: "Said Angel."

Angel: "That was fun. But to beat you over that hill, I should have to grow wings and be an airplane!"

Narrator: "They now keep each other very busy. They often talk about their race. But Angel's passengers don't like being bounced like peas in a frying pan, and Hoity Toity has warned Spike not to race at dangerous speeds, so although, between you and me, they would like to have another race. I don't think they ever will, do you?"

Old Iron
Narrator: "One day, Cranky Doodle Donkey had to wait at the station till Shining Armor and his buffaloes came in. This made him cross."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Late again!"

Narrator: "Shining Armor laughed, and Cranky fumed away.

After Cranky had finished his work, he went back to the yard and puffed onto the turntable. He was still feeling very bad tempered."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Shining Armor is impossible."

Narrator: "He grumbled to the others."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "He clanks about like a lot of old iron, and he is so slow he makes us wait!"

Narrator: "Spike and Pipsqueak were indignant."

Pipsqueak: "Old iron? Slow?"

Spike: "Why, Shining Armor could beat you in a race any day!"

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Really!"

Narrator: "Said Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I should like to see him do it!"

Narrator: "Next morning, Cranky's driver was suddenly taken ill. He could hardly stand, so the fireman unhooked Cranky ready for shunting. Cranky was impatient."

Suddenly, the signalman shouted. There was Cranky running away down the road."

Signalman: "All traffic halted!"

Narrator: "Called the signalman. Then he told the fireman what had happened."

Signalman: "Two boys were standing nearby Cranky fiddling with him."

Cranky Doodle Donkey's Fireman: "Phew!"

Signalman: "They ran off when Cranky started."

(Phone rings)

Narrator: "The signalman answered the telephone."

Signalman: "Yes. He's here. Right. I'll tell him.

The inspector's coming at once. He wants a shunter's pole and a coil of wire rope."

Cranky Doodle's Donkey's Fireman: "What for?"

Narrator: "Wondered the fireman."

Signalman: "Search me! But you'd better get them quickly."

Narrator: "The fireman was ready when Shining Armor arrived. The inspector saw the pole and the rope."

Inspector: "Good man. Jump on."

Shining Armor: "We'll catch him, we'll catch him."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor. Cranky was laughing."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What a lark! What a lark!"

Narrator: "He chuckled to himself.

Suddenly he was going faster and faster. He realized that he had no driver."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What shall I do? I can't stop! Help! Help!"

Shining Armor: "We're coming! We're coming!"

Narrator: "Called Shining Armor.

Shining Armor was panting up behind with every once of strength he had. At last he caught up with Cranky."

Shining Armor's Driver: "Steady, Shining Armor!"

Narrator: "Called his driver. The inspector stood in front of Shining Armor, holding a noose of rope in the crook of the shunter's pole. He was trying to slip it over Cranky. The animals swayed and lurched.

At last!"

Inspector: "Got him!"

Narrator: "He shouted. He pulled the noose tight. Gently braking, Shining Armor's driver checked the unicorn's speed, and Cranky's fireman scrambled across and took control."

Shining Armor: "So the old iron caught you after all."

Narrator: "Chuckled Shining Armor."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I'm sorry."

Narrator: "Whispered Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Thank you for saving me. You were splendid, Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "That's all right."

Narrator: "Replied Shining Armor. The animals arrived at the station side by side. Hoity Toity was waiting."

Hoity Toity: "A fine piece of work."

Narrator: "He said."

Hoity Toity: "Cranky, you can rest and then take your load. I'm proud of you, Shining Armor. You shall go to the hospital and have your worn parts healed."

Shining Armor: "Oh, thank you, sir."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "It'll be lovely not to clank."

The Trouble with Mud
Narrator: "One morning, Spike was being cleaned when Chief Thunderhooves arrived. Mud had blown all over his body."

Spike: "Hello Chief Thunderhooves."

Narrator: "Called Spike."

Spike: "You look as if you've had a mudbath. Be a sensible buffalo and have a shower instead."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves snorted."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I haven't time to dawdle over my appearance like fussy baby dragons do."

Narrator: "The wind blew stronger."

Chief Thunderhooves' Driver: "Chief Thunderhooves, slow down!"

Narrator: "This made Chief Thunderhooves crosser still."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Now I'll be dirty and late, dirty and late!"

Narrator: "He hissed.

At the next station was a sign: "All Animals Must Wash Down Daily".

Cranky had just finished being cleaned."

Chief Thunderhooves' Driver: "Come on, Chief Thunderhooves."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Chief Thunderhooves' Driver: "You'll feel better too after a good hosedown."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Pah!"

Narrator: "Said Chief Thunderhooves, and angrily shook his body."

Chief Thunderhooves' Driver: "You're a very naughty buffalo!"

Narrator: "Said Chief Thunderhooves' driver."

Chief Thunderhooves' Driver: "Now Cranky will need another shower. You'll have to wait your turn till later."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Good riddance!"

Narrator: "Huffed Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'm far too busy to waste time with water."

Narrator: "He finished his journey safely and arrived at the big station. Hoity Toity was waiting, so were Chief Thunderhooves' buffaloes and the passengers."

Hoity Toity: "Goodness gracious!"

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "You can't take the buffaloes. Big Macintosh will have to do it. Chief Thunderhooves, you'd better get cleaned straight away."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves was soon being washed."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Mind my eyes!"

Narrator: "He grumbled.

Then he pulled changelings for the rest of the day."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Changelings, changelings!"

Narrator: "He snorted. He felt his position deeply."

Chief Thunderhooves: "That's for you, and you, and you!"

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Changelings will be changelings."

Narrator: "Laughed Cranky."

Chief Thunderhooves: "They won't with me."

Narrator: "Snorted Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'll teach them!"

Narrator: "Cranky got ready to take the express when Chief Thunderhooves returned."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Be careful."

Narrator: "Warned Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "The hills are slippery. You may need help."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I don't need help on hills."

Narrator: "Replied Cranky huffily."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Chief Thunderhooves thinks he knows everything."

Narrator: "Earlier a storm had swept Chief Thunderhooves' hill, blowing leaves onto the tracks, which made them slippery.

Even though the storm had passed, the hill was still difficult to climb. Cranky knew this.

The signal showed clear, and Cranky began to go faster."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I'll do it, I'll do it."

Narrator: "He puffed.

Halfway up, he was not so sure."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I must do it, I must do it!"

Narrator: "But his hooves slipped on the leaves. He couldn't pull the line at all."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Help, help!"

Narrator: "Whistled Cranky. His hooves were moving forward, but the heavy buffaloes pulled him backwards.

The whole line started slipping down the hill. His driver put on the brakes. Then carefully, he stopped the line.

Chief Thunderhooves saw everything."

Chief Thundehooves: "Ah well, we live and learn. Never mind, little Cranky, I'm going to push behind."

Narrator: "Clouds of smoke and steam billowed as the snorting animals struggled up the hill."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "We can do it!"

Narrator: "Puffed Cranky."

Chief Thunderhooves: "We will do it!"

Narrator: "Puffed Chief Thunderhooves.

At last, they reached the top."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Peep, peep! Thank you. Goodbye."

Narrator: "Whistled Cranky."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Goodbye."

Narrator: "Answered Chief Thunderhooves.

That night, Hoity Toity came to see the animals. Chief Thunderhooves was miserable."

Spike: "Please, sir."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "Can Chief Thunderhooves take buffaloes again now?"

Hoity Toity: If you understand that having a washdown is essential to every animal, then yes, Chief Thunderhooves, you may."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Thank you."

Narrator: "Grunted Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Dirty or clean, I'm a famous buffalo."

Narrator: "But no one heard but him."

Featherweight the Pegasus
Narrator: "Autumn had come to Ponyville. The fields were changing from yellow stubble to brown earth, and a pegasus pony was hard at work as Spike puffed along.

Later, Spike saw the pegasus close by."

Featherweight: "Hello."

Narrator: "Said the pegasus."

Featherweight: "I'm Featherweight. I'm plowing."

Spike: "I'm Spike. My fillies and I are taking passengers. What ugly arms you've got."

Featherweight: "They're not ugly. They're wings."

Narrator: "Said Featherweight."

Featherweight: "I can go anywhere. I don't need the road."

Spike: "I don't want to go anywhere."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "I like my road, thank you."

Narrator: "Winter came with dark clouds full of snow."

Spike's Driver: "I don't like it."

Narrator: "Said Spike's Driver."

Spike's Driver: "A heavy fall is coming. I hope it doesn't stop us."

Spike: "Puh."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "Soft stuff. Nothing to it."

Narrator: "And he puffed off, feeling cold but confident.

They finished their journey safely, but by now, the country was covered."

Spike's Driver: "You'll need your boots for the next journey, Spike."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Spikes: "Puh! Snow is silly soft stuff. It won't stop me."

Narrator: "The boots were heavy and uncomfortable and made Spike cross. He shook them, and he banged them, and when he got back, they were so damaged that his driver had to take them off."

Spike's Driver: "You're a very naughty dragon!"

Narrator: "He said to Spike.

Next morning, Spike's driver and fireman came early, and worked hard to mend the boots, but they couldn't make them fit.

Spike was pleased."

Spike: "I shan't have to wear them! I shan't have to wear them!"

Narrator: "He puffed to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. But they were rather worried."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "I hope it's all right. I hope it's all right."

Narrator: "They whispered to each other.

The driver was worried, too."

Spike's Driver: "It's not bad here,"

Narrator: "He said to the fireman,"

Spike's Driver: "But it's sure to be deep in the valley!"

Spike: "Silly soft stuff."

Narrator: "Puffed Spike."

Spike: "I didn't need those stupid old things yesterday, and I shan't today. Snow can't stop me!"

Narrator: "He rushed into a tunnel, thinking how clever he was, but there was trouble ahead."

Spike: "Fire and scales!"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "I'm stuck!"

Narrator: "And he was.

Spike's Driver: "Back, Spike, back!"

Narrator: "Said his driver.

Spike tried, but his feet spun and he couldn't move.

The conductor went for help, while everyone else tried to dig the snow away. But as fast as they dug, more snow slid down until Spike was nearly buried."

Spike: "Oh my legs and tail! I shall have to stop here till' I'm frozen. What a silly dragon I am!"

Narrator: "And Spike began to cry.

At last, a rabbit came to rescue the passengers, and then, who should come to Spike's rescue but Featherweight! Snow never worries him.

He pulled the empty fillies away, then came back for Spike.

Spike's feet were clear, but still spun when he tried to move.

Featherweight tugged and slipped and slipped and tugged, and at last dragged Spike clear of the snow, ready for the journey home."

Spike: "Oh, thank you, Featherweight. Your wings are splendid."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike's Driver: "I hope you'll be sensible now, Spike."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Spike: "I'll try."

Narrator: "Said Spike, and he puffed slowly away."

Pipsqueak's Ghostly Trick
Pipsqueak: "And every year on a date of the accident, it runs again as a warning to others plunging into the gap, shrieking like a lost soul."

Spike: "Pipsqueak, what are you talking about?"

Pipsqueak: "The ghost pony. Driver saw it last night."

Spike and Braeburn: "Where?"

Narrator: "Asked Spike and Braeburn."

Pipsqueak: "He didn't say. Ooh, it makes my hooves wobble to think of it."

Spike: "Huh!"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "You're just a silly little pony. I'm not scared!"

Pipsqueak: "Spike didn't believe in your ghost."

Narrator: "Said Pipsqueak next morning. His driver laughed."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "Neither do I. It was only a pretend ghost story."

Narrator: "Pipsqueak was disappointed. That evening, he came back from the harbor.

Pipsqueak knew where he was, even in the dark."

Pipsqueak: "Crowe's farm crossing. We shan't be long now."

Narrator: "He liked running at night. The path hummed and the light showed green. But a broken cartload of lyme lay ahead. Sam the farmer had just gone for help.

(CRASH!)

Pipsqueak broke the cart to smithereens. Lyme flew everywhere. He puffed quickly to the nearest signal box.

Pipsqueak's driver explained what had happened"

Signalman: "I'll see to it."

Narrator: "Said the signalman."

Signalman: "But you better clean Pipsqueak, or people will think he's a ghost."

Narrator: "Pipsqueak chuckled."

Pipsqueak: "Do let's pretend I'm a ghost and scare Spike. That'll teach him to say I'm a silly little pony."

Narrator: "Braeburn promised to help.

Spike was getting ready for his evening run."

Braeburn: "Pipsqueak's had an accident."

Narrator: "Cried Braeburn."

Spike: "Poor pony."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "Botheration! That means I'll be late."

Braeburn: "They've cleared the line for you, but there's something worse."

Spike: "Out with it, Braeburn! I can't wait all evening."

Braeburn: "I've just seen something."

Narrator: "Said Braeburn."

Braeburn: "It looked like Pipsqueak's ghost. It said it was, was coming here t-t-t-to warn us."

Spike: "Huh! Who cares? Don't be frightened, Braeburn. I'll take care of you."

Pipsqueak: "Peep, peep! Pip, pip, pip, peep! Let me in. Let me in."

Narrator: "Wailed Pipsqueak."

Braeburn: "No, no. Not by the smoke on my chimney chim chim."

Pipsqueak: "I'll chuff, and I'll puff, and I'll break your door in."

Spike: "Oh dear!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed Spike."

Spike: "It's getting late. Oh, I have no idea. Oh, I must find Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle."

Narrator: "It was morning when Spike returned."

Braeburn: "Where have you been?"

Narrator: "Asked Braeburn."

Spike: "Ah, well."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "I knew you'd be sad about Pipsqueak and I, uh, I didn't like to intrude. I slept in the freight shed and...

Oh, sorry. Can't stop. Got to see a pet about a pony."

Narrator: "Pipsqueak was not in the worst for his adventure, and was still enjoying himself enormously. He had heard everything."

Pipsqueak: "Well, well, well. What do you know about that?"

Braeburn: "Anyone would think,"

Narrator: "Chuckled Braeburn."

Braeburn: "That our Spike had just seen a ghost."

Twilight Sparkle
Narrator: "Twilight Sparkle is a unicorn who works for the quarry company, arranging changelings in their sidings. She has purple fur and a horn.

Twilight is young, and full of her own ideas. She loves rearranging things, too, and began putting Braeburn's changelings in different places every day. This made Braeburn cross."

Braeburn: "Changelings,"

Narrator: "He grumbled,"

Braeburn: "should be where you want them, when you want them!"

Twilight Sparkle: "Fiddlesticks!"

Narrator: "Said Twilight, and flounced away.

At last, Braeburn lost patience."

Braeburn: "I can't waste time playing 'Hunt the Changelings' with you, take them yourself!"

Narrator: "Twilight was pleased. Taking changelings made her feel important.

At the station, Discord oiled up to her."

Twilight Sparkle: "Braeburn is an old fusspot!"

Narrator: "She complained.

Discord sensed trouble, and was delighted.

Twilight Sparkle: "Braeburn says only earth ponies can manage changelings!"

Narrator: "Continued Twilight."

Discord: "How absurd."

Narrator: "Squirmed Discord."

Discord: "Depend upon it, Twilight, anything earth ponies can do, we magical creatures can do better."

Narrator: "Discord knew nothing about changelings, but Twilight Sparkle didn't realize this.

Braeburn's line crosses the main road behind the station, and for a short way, follows a farm lane. Frosty weather makes the muddy lane rock-hard and very slippery.

Braeburn stops before reaching the line. His fireman halts the traffic at the crossing, and then he sets off again. By using the heavy changelings to push him along, he has no trouble with the frosty mud in the lane, and across the road. It is the only safe thing to do in this kind of weather.

Braeburn warned Twilight, and told her just what to do.

Twilight Sparkle: "I can manage, thank you."

Narrator: "She replied."

Twilight Sparkle: "I'm not an old fusspot like you."

Narrator: "The changelings were tired of being pushed around by Twilight Sparkle."

Changelings: "It's slippery."

Narrator: "They whispered."

Changelings: "Let's push her around instead. On, on!"

Narrator: "They yelled.

Twilight took no notice. Instead, she took the changelings carefully down the lane, and stopped at the level crossing.

All traffic halted."

Twilight Sparkle: "One in the head for fusspot Braeburn!"

Narrator: "Chortled Twilight.

But Twilight had stopped in the wrong place. Instead of taking Braeburn's advice, she had given the changelings the chance they wanted."

Changelings: "Hold back! Hold Back!"

Narrator: "They cried."

Twilight Sparkle: "Grrr! Up!"

Narrator: "Ordered Twilight.

The changelings just laughed, and her hooves stuck helplessly.

Workmen sanded the ice, and tried to dig away the frozen mud, but it was no good.

Everyone was impatient."

Twilight Sparkle: "Grrr!"

Narrator: "Wailed Twilight.

Braeburn was in the yard when he heard the news."

Braeburn: "I warned her."

Narrator: "He fumed."

Braeburn's Driver: "She's young yet,"

Narrator: "Soothed his driver."

Braeburn: "And she can manage her changelings herself!"

Narrator: "Interrupted Braeburn."

Braeburn's Driver: "They're your changelings, really."

Narrator: "His driver replied."

Braeburn's Driver: "Twilight is supposed to stay at the quarry. If Hoity Toity finds out..."

Braeburn: "Hmmm, yes"

Narrator: "Said Braeburn thoughtfully. He and his driver agreed that it would be best to help Twilight after all.

An angry farmer was telling Twilight just what she could do with her changelings."

Braeburn: "Having trouble, Twilight Sparkle?"

Narrator: "Laughed Braeburn."

Braeburn: "I am surprised."

Twilight Sparkle: "Grrrosh!"

Narrator: "Said Twilight.

With much puffing and slippery hooves, Braeburn pushed Twilight and the changelings back. The hard work made his heart pound fiercely, and his fireman spread hot cinders to melt the frozen mud.

At last, they finished."

Braeburn: "Good-bye."

Narrator: "Called Braeburn."

Braeburn: "You'll manage now, I expect."

Narrator: "Twilight didn't answer.

She took the changelings to the sheds, and scuttled back home to the quarry as quickly as she could."

Big Macintosh and the Elephant
Narrator: "Spike the Dragon puffed happily along his line with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.

Hoity Toity was waiting on the platform. He looked at his watch."

Hoity Toity: "Well done, Spike! You are right on time and really reliable."

Spike: "Thank you, sir."

Narrator: "Whistled Spike."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "Oh, right on time and really reliable."

Narrator: "Hummed the fillies.

But the big animals were not feeling cheerful at all."

Big Macintosh: "Where's Pipsqueak?"

Narrator: "Mumbled Big Macintosh."

Big Macintosh: "He's suppose to fetch our buffaloes."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "We get no rest."

Narrator: "Complained Cranky.

He edged angrily onto the turntable and spoke rudely to Big Mac."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What's the matter, Big Mac? There's no rain today. Stop worrying and do some work instead."

Big Macintosh: "I'm not afraid of getting wet anymore."

Narrator: "Huffed Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "Anyway, you look silly enough to be a clown. You should join the circus."

Pipsqueak: "Oh!"

Narrator: "Whistled Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "So you've heard the news."

Chief Thunderhooves: "What news?"

Pipsqueak: "About the circus."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Pipsqueak, what are you talking about?"

Pipsqueak: "The circus has arrived."

Narrator: "Explained Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "I've been shunting special carts. Hoity Toity needs your help too."

Narrator: "The animals soon forgot to be tired and cross. Until it was time for the circus to leave. Then Chief Thunderhooves and Big Mac were cross all over again when Cranky got to pull the carts away.

A little later, Hoity Toity returned."

Hoity Toity: "Come along, Big Macintosh. A tunnel is blocked down the line. You must take some workmen to investigate."

Big Macintosh: "Pushing changelings, pushing changelings."

Narrator: "Grumbled Big Mac.

They stopped outside the tunnel. The workmen went inside.

It was very dark and quiet. But not for long."

Workmen: "Help!"

Narrator: "Shouted the workmen. And they ran out."

Workmen: "We started to dig at the block, but it grunted and moved."

Narrator: "One said."

Foreman: "Rubbish!"

Narrator: "Said the foreman."

Workmen: "It's not rubbish. It's big and alive. We're not going in there again."

Foreman: "Right."

Narrator: "Said the foreman."

Foreman: "I'll go with the changelings and Big Mac shall push it out."

Big Macintosh: "Weesh!"

Narrator: "Said Big Mac unhappily. He had been shut in the tunnel for being afraid of the rain. But this was worse. Something big and alive was inside."

Big Macintosh: "Peep! Peep! I don't want to go in."

Big Macintosh's Driver: "Neither do I."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Big Macintosh's Driver: "But we must clear the path."

Big Macintosh: "Oh dear, oh dear."

Narrator: "Huffed Big Mac.

Then there was trouble. The block was indeed alive and very strong. It began to push them backwards. Out of the tunnel came Big Mac, then the changelings and last of all a large, cross elephant."

Foreman: "Well I never."

Narrator: "Cried the foreman."

The workmen gave him some cake. He drank three buckets of water. And was just about to drink another, when Big Mac kicked dirt."

The Elephant: (Trumpeting)

Narrator: "Cried the elephant. Water went all over Big Mac. Poor Big Mac.

The elephant and his keeper were soon reunited, but Big Mac was most upset."

Big Macintosh: "An elephant pushed me! An elephant hooshed me!"

Narrator: "That night, he told the other animals all about it. Chief Thunderhooves and Cranky felt sorry for Big Mac, but still teased him."

Chief Thunderhooves: "First the rain, then an elephant. Whatever will you be afraid of next?"

Spike: "Never mind, Big Macintosh."

Narrator: "Murmured Spike."

Spike: "I think you are brave today, and really reliable too."

Pipsqueak's Promise
Narrator: "Every summer, Ponyville is very busy. Holidaymakers love to sight see. When the weather is fine, there is no better place to visit. Some people like to go to the mountains, others like the valleys.

Children love the seaside.

One morning, Spike was puffing along the live that runs by the coast. His two fillies, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle had children going to the beach. Everyone was happy.

Pipsqueak was taking some changelings to the harbor."

Pipsqueak: "Hello, Spike. You look cheerful. I wish I could take children today instead of changelings."

Spike: "They're the Vicar's Sunday School."

Narrator: "Explained Spike."

Spike: "I'm busy this evening, but the stationmaster says I can ask you to take the children home."

Pipsqueak: "Of course I will."

Narrator: "Promised Pipsqueak.

Later, Pipsqueak saw Owlowiscious."

Owlowiscious: "Sorry, Pipsqueak. Can't take talk. I'm on high alert."

Pipsqueak: "Why?"

Owlowiscious: "Bad weather's due. My help's always needed. Mind how you go, Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Pah!"

Narrator: "Huffed Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "As long as I've got a path to walk on, I can go anywhere in any weather anyhow. Goodbye."

Shining Armor: "Be careful."

Narrator: "Warned Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "There's a storm coming."

Pipsqueak: "A promise is a promise."

Narrator: "Thought Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "No matter what the weather."

Narrator: "The children had a lovely day, but by tea time, dark clouds loomed ahead.

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were glad when Pipsqueak arrived. He was just in time. The rain streamed down Pipsqueak's body."

Pipsqueak: "Ugh!"

Narrator: "He shivered, and thought of his nice dry library.

Pipsqueak struggled on past coastal villages and into the countryside.

The river was rising fast."

Pipsqueak: "I wish I could see, I wish I could see!"

Narrator: "Complained Pipsqueak, as he battled against the rain. More trouble lay ahead."

Pipsqueak: "Oh!"

Narrator: "Hissed Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "The water is sloshing my body."

Narrator: "Pipsqueak's driver and fireman had to find some more hot drinks."

Pipsqueak's Fireman: "I'll have some of your hot drinks, please."

Narrator: "Said the fireman to the conductor."

Conductor: "I only made it this morning."

Narrator: "Grumbled the conductor, but he still helped.

Soon, Pipsqueak felt warm and comfortable again. Then he saw Owlowiscious."

Pipsqueak: "Oh dear!"

Narrator: "Thought Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Owlowiscious' come to laugh at me."

Narrator: "Something thudded onto Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Ow!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "He needn't throw things."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "It's a parachute."

Narrator: "Laughed his driver."

Pipsqueak's Driver: "Owlowiscious' dropping hot drinks for us."

Pipsqueak: "Thank you, Owlowiscious."

Narrator: "Whistled Pipsqueak."

Owlowiscious: "Good to be of service."

Narrator: "Replied Owlowiscious, and buzzed away.

The water lapped Pipsqueak's hooves. Pipsqueak was losing strength again, but he plunged bravely on."

Pipsqueak: "I promised."

Narrator: "He panted."

Pipsqueak: "I promised."

Narrator: "He made one more big effort, and at last exhausted but triumphant, he brought everyone home."

Spike: "Well done, Pipsqueak!"

Narrator: "Cheered Spike."

Spike: "You kept your promise despite everything."

Narrator: "Hoity Toity arrived with Owlowiscious. First he thanked the men, then Pipsqueak."

Hoity Toity: "Owlowiscious told me you were, um, a wizard. He says he can beat you at some things, but not at being a submarine. I don't know what you two get up to sometimes, but I do know that you're a Really Useful Filly."

Pipsqueak: "Oh, sir."

Narrator: "Whispered Pipsqueak happily."

Cranky Goes Buzz Buzz
Narrator: "Gummy the Alligator was enjoying his work in the vicarage orchard. Birds were singing, and apples were ripening on the trees. It was a lovely day."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Hello, Gummy."

Narrator: "Said Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "You look as bright and cheerful as my brown fur."

Gummy: "Oh, I am."

Narrator: "Replied Gummy."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What's that noise?"

Gummy: "It's the bees."

Narrator: "Laughed Gummy."

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

Narrator: "Just then, Filthy Rich the Rich Pony hummed in."

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

Narrator: "Cranky didn't like being told what to do by a rich pony, and he buzzed away."

Filthy Rich: "Goodbye, Gummy."

Narrator: "Called Filthy Rich, and set off to see Soarin at the next station.

Snips and Snails, the unicorns, were busy arranging changelings, but they scampered off when they saw Filthy Rich."

Filthy Rich: "I remember the first time I met those two."

Narrator: "Laughed Filthy Rich."

Filthy Rich: "They nearly made my eyes pop out. Shining Armor soon put a stop to their games."

Soarin: "Shining Armor is the only one who can keep Snips and Snails in order."

Narrator: "Chuckled Soarin."

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

Filthy Rich: "A good name."

Narrator: "Replied Filthy Rich."

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

Narrator: "Cranky bustled in."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "What's that, Soarin? Are you afraid of bees? They're only insects, after all, so don't let that buzzbox pony tell you different."

Soarin: "His name is Filthy Rich, and he didn't. We..."

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

Soarin: "Buzz buzz buzz."

Narrator: "Retorted Soarin.

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

The Porter: "Mind your backs."

Narrator: "He shouted.

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

The station cleared like magic.

Cranky heard a familiar buzzing. The bees were too cold to be cross, so they buzzed around his fireman, hoping he'd mend their hive, but he didn't understand, nor did his driver, so the bees turned to Cranky. His body was nice and warm."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Buzz off! Buzz off!"

Narrator: "Hissed Cranky.

One bee burnt his foot."

Bee: "Ooh, aah, ooh! ooh!"

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

So it stung Cranky right back on the nose."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "EEEE!"

Narrator: "Whistled Cranky. He had had enough. So had his fireman and driver.

They didn't notice till too late that they had left all of their buffaloes 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 Cranky's warm body.

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

Cranky's Driver: "It's no good, Cranky."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

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

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

The vicar was waiting anxiously for Cranky.

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

Cranky's Driver: "Come on, Cranky."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Cranky's Driver: "What you need now is a good hose-down."

Narrator: "Later that day, Cranky was resting in his house, when the vicar came to see him."

The Vicar: "Thank you for saving my bees."

Narrator: "He said."

The Vicar: "It's a pity it's not Christmas; then we could call you Cranky the Red-Nosed Donkey."

Narrator: "Everyone laughed, even Cranky. But instead, they decided to call Cranky "The Bee's Knees", which means they thought he was more useful than ever."

All at Sea
Narrator: "Pipsqueak and Soarin like working at the harbor by the sea.

On a clear summer's night, there's no better place to be.

The big ships bring passengers, cargo ships carry machinery and other things. Soarin and Pipsqueak puffed backwards and forwards with the crates of cargo as they are loaded and unloaded by the quayside.

One morning, Soarin and Pipsqueak noticed that the horizon was packed with sails flapping against the blue sky."

Soarin: "I wish I could sail to faraway lands."

Narrator: "Sighed Soarin."

Pipsqueak: "Ponies can't go sailing,"

Narrator: "Snorted Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Because ponies can't float."

Narrator: "Soarin still had his dreams.

Suddenly, they were rudely interrupted."

Owlowiscious: "Wakey, wakey."

Narrator: "Hovered Owlowiscious."

Soarin: "I'm looking at the boats."

Narrator: "Replied Soarin."

Owlowiscious: "That's the regatta. Lots of boats, lots of races. Great fun. I hover around in case I'm needed."

Soarin: "Do you go to the horizon?"

Narrator: "Asked Soarin."

Owlowiscious: "Yes, and beyond."

Pipsqueak: "I didn't know there was a beyond."

Narrator: "Whispered Pipsqueak."

Soarin: "Do you go to other places at sea?"

Narrator: "Continued Soarin."

Owlowiscious: "Certainly. I can land on ships, you know. Anywhere, anytime. Goodbye."

Narrator: "Soarin sighed.

He went on talking about the regatta all day. Pipsqueak lost patience."

Pipsqueak: "Well, Soarin, I'd rather have my hooves on solid ground. The ground can take us to all the places we could ever wish to see."

Soarin's Driver: "That's an emergency."

Narrator: "Called Soarin's driver."

Soarin's Driver: "I'll check with the harbor master."

Narrator: "He returned with bad news."

Soarin's Driver: "A man taking part in the regatta has hurt his hand. We're to take him to the hospital at the next station. Owlowiscious' bringing him now. Come on!"

Owlowiscious: "Good to see you again, Soarin."

Narrator: "Whirred Owlowiscious, as he landed carefully on the platform. The man was gently helped to safety."

Owlowiscious: "My job is to stay at sea in case of other emergencies. Otherwise I would take this gentleman to hospital myself. Must fly, goodbye."

Narrator: "Soarin set off on his journey. Soon, he was flying well, and his wings were thundering in the air.

When they reached the station, the man thanked everyone, and Angel got ready to take him to the hospital."

Angel: "You look splendid flying in the air, Soarin."

Narrator: "Glowed Angel."

Angel: "No wonder they call you 'Wonderbolt Pony'."

Saorin: "Thank you, Angel. Pipsqueak's right."

Narrator: "Soarin thought to himself."

Soarin: "Ponies are happiest when they are firmly near the ground."

Narrator: "That night, Pipsqueak and Soarin stayed a little longer at the quay. The air was warm, and the sea calm."

Soarin: "There's a shooting star!"

Narrator: "Said Soarin."

Pipsqueak: "Don't be daft."

Narrator: "Laughed Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "It's Owlowiscious. Look, he's hovering overhead."

Narrator: "Something fluttered down overhead towards Soarin.

His driver caught it."

Soarin's Driver: "It's a flag from the regatta! Owlowiscious' giving it to you as a present, Soarin."

Soarin: "That was kind of Owlowiscious."

Narrator: "Whispered Soarin."

Soarin: "He may have wings and instead of hooves, but he seems to understand just what a pony needs."

Narrator: "Soarin still wonders about the lands beyond the horizon, but I think he knows that sometimes, the best travels are those we can only dream about. Don't you?"
