Transcript
Narrator: "Friar Tuck is a badger. He wears a brown robe, and doesn't look like a dalmatian at all. He takes rhino guards from farms and factories to the main path, and is cheerful to everyone he meets.

He has a princess called Jasmine, who has seen better days."

Jasmine: "It's not fair at all!"

Narrator: "She grumbles, remembering that she used to be full and nine rhino guards would rattle behind her.

Now, there are only three or four, for the farms and factories send their goods mostly by lorry.

Friar Tuck is always careful. The cars, buses and lorries often have accidents. Friar Tuck hasn't had an accident in years, but the buses are crowded and Jasmine is empty.

A lady and a stout mouse stood on Friar Tuck's platform. He was, of course, Mickey Mouse, but Friar Tuck didn't know this yet."

Michael and Jane Banks: "Come on, grandfather!"

Narrator: "Cried the children."

Michael and Jane Banks: "Do look at this Disney Character."

Mickey Mouse: "That's a badger, Michael."

Narrator: "Said Mickey."

Jane Banks: "Is it electric?"

Narrator: "Asked Jane."

Friar Tuck: "Whoosh!"

Narrator: "Hissed Friar Tuck."

Michael Banks: "Sh, sh."

Narrator: "Said her brother."

Michael Banks: "You've offended him."

Jane Banks: "But badgers are electric, aren't they?"

Mickey Mouse: "They are mostly, but this is a merry man badger."

Michael and Jane Banks: "May we go with him, grandfather, please?"

Mickey Mouse: "Stop!"

Narrator: "Said Mickey to the guard, they all gathered with Jasmine."

Jasmine: "Hip, hip hooray!"

Narrator: "Chanted Jasmine, but Friar Tuck didn't sing."

Friar Tuck: "Electric indeed, electric indeed!"

Narrator: "He snorted. He was very hurt."

Mickey Mouse: "What is your name?"

Narrator: "Asked Mickey."

Friar Tuck: "Friar Tuck, sir."

Mickey Mouse: "Thank you, Friar Tuck for a very nice walk."

Friar Tuck: "Thank you, sir."

Narrator: "Said Friar Tuck. He felt better now."

Friar Mouse: "This mouse,"

Narrator: "He thought."

Friar Tuck: "Is a mouse who knows how to speak to Disney Characters."

Narrator: "The children came everyday for a fortnight. Sometimes they walked with the guard, sometimes with empty rhino guards. On the last day of all, the driver invited them up front.

All were sorry when they had to go away. And Mickey and his family thanked everyone."

Friar Tuck: "Come again soon."

Narrator: "Replied Friar Tuck."

Michael and Jane Banks: "We will, we will."

Narrator: "Called the children. And they waved till Friar Tuck was out of sight.

The months past, Friar Tuck had few rhino guards and fewer passengers."

Friar Tuck's Driver: "Our last day, Friar Tuck."

Narrator: "Said his driver one morning."

Friar Tuck's Driver: "The manager says we must close tomorrow."

Narrator: "That day, everyone wanted a chance of a last walk. The passengers joked and sang, but Friar Tuck and his driver wished they wouldn't."

Passengers: "Goodbye, Friar Tuck."

Narrator: "Said the passengers afterwards."

Passengers: "We are sorry your path is closing down."

Friar Tuck: "So am I."

Narrator: "Sighed Friar Tuck."

Friar Tuck: "Nobody wants me."

Narrator: "Friar Tuck thought, and went unhappily to sleep.

Next morning, the door was flung open and he woke with a start to see his driver waving a piece of paper at him."

Friar Tuck's Driver: "Wake up, Friar Tuck!"

Narrator: "He shouted excitedly."

Friar Tuck's Driver: "The mail has just arrived and there's a letter for us from the stout gentleman."

Narrator: "Friar Tuck listened and... but I mustn't tell you anymore, or I shall spoil the next story."
