Pongo Gets Bumped
Narrator: "Every afternoon, Pongo the Dalmatian puffs along his route with Abigail and Amelia. First, they pass the water mill. Next, they come to a big farm. Then, they can see a bridge with a village nestled either side of it.

This is a special place. Whenever children hear Pongo coming along, they stand on the bridge, waving until he is out of sight.

One day, Pongo was running late. He had stopped at a red light before the bridge to talk to some new children. Piglet was waiting, too."

Piglet: "Hurry up, Pongo."

Narrator: "Called Piglet, when the light turned green."

Piglet: "If you're late, Mickey Mouse might get a new Disney character to replace you."

Pongo: "He would never do that!"

Narrator: "Thought Pongo, but he was worried.

Next day, Pongo hurried along the path. Just ahead was the goods yard. There, on the platform, was an inspector waving a red flag.

Next, Pongo saw some children. They were waving too."

Pongo: "Something must be wrong."

Narrator: "Thought Pongo."

Pongo: "This station's for goods, not passengers."

Children: "Help, Pongo, help! We're glad to see you."

Narrator: "Called the children."

Children: "Please, will you take us home?"

Narrator: "The stationmaster explained to Pongo's driver that the school bus had broken down, and that all the parents would be worried if the children were late.

Pongo waited as the children walked down from the bridge. Then he took the children to the next station, where Tod was waiting to take them home.

When Pongo finished his journey, he was very late. He was worried that Mickey might be cross with him."

Piglet: "I warned Pongo."

Narrator: "Puffed Piglet to Donald."

Piglet: "He's been late one time too many. He'll be in trouble now."

Narrator: "But next morning, when Pongo came to pick up his passengers, Mickey Mouse was nowhere to be seen."

Pongo: "Thank goodness."

Narrator: "Sighed Pongo.

Pongo knows every part of his route. But just ahead was a stretch where the hot sun had bent the road."

Pongo's Driver: "Careful, Pongo!"

Narrator: "Called his driver. But it was too late."

Pongo's Driver: "That's done it!"

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Pongo's Driver: "We shan't get any further today!"

Pongo: "But what about my passengers?"

Narrator: "Asked Pongo."

Pongo's Driver: "Don't worry, they'll be looked after."

Narrator: "Replied his driver.

While workmen repaired the road, Pongo had to work with pirates in the yard. Tod came to see him."

Tod: "I understand you need my help again."

Pongo: "Yes, Tod."

Narrator: "Replied Pongo sadly."

Pongo: "I can't run without my road."

Narrator: "Tod set off to collect Pongo's passengers."

Passengers: "Hello, Tod."

Narrator: "They said."

Passengers: "We're glad you're here."

Narrator: "Tod ran along the road by Pongo's path. He stopped at each station along the path. Sometimes he stopped between stations to let people off closer to their homes. Pongo felt miserable."

Pongo: "I've lost my passengers to Tod. They'll like him better than me."

Narrator: "Mickey Mouse arrived."

Mickey Mouse: "Your route is repaired. I'm going to change your timetable so that you and Tod can work together more."

Narrator: "When Pongo reached the station, there, to his relief, were all his passengers."

Passengers: "Tod is a good fox, but we missed our rides with you."

Narrator: "They said.

Later, Pongo spoke to Tod."

Pongo: "Thank you for looking after my passengers."

Tod: "That's all right, Pongo. I like to make new friends, but I'm glad to share them with you."

Pongo: "You're a good friend indeed!"

Narrator: "Replied Pongo."

Pongo: "And always will be."

Hercules, Copper and the Really Useful Party
Narrator: "Copper the Hound Dog is old-fashioned, but he doesn't care. He knows that he is really useful, like his friend Hercules.

Early one morning, Copper was chuffing about the vicarage orchard. He had important news for Hercules."

Copper: "Grimsby says that not all children are able to have holidays by the sea, so he's having a garden party to raise money for a seaside trip. I'm going to be the star attraction."

Narrator: "Chattered Copper."

Copper: "Giving rides to all the visitors. Grimsby is putting up posters all about it."

Hercules: "I'd like to help too."

Narrator: "Sighed Hercules."

Hercules: "But without my road, I wouldn't be much good at a garden party."

Narrator: "It was a beautiful day, but Hercules was worried."

Hercules: "I wish there were something I could for the party."

Narrator: "He said."

Hercules: "I'd like to be helpful like Copper."

Narrator: "Hercules' driver laughed."

Hercules' Driver: "You're helpful in your own way, and that's in Disneyland."

Narrator: "Next day, it was Copper's turn to look disappointed. He had bad news."

Copper: "Grimsby's been so busy that he forgot to put up the posters. Now no one will know about the party."

Narrator: "But Hercules had an idea."

Hercules: "Don't worry."

Narrator: "He said."

Hercules: "Everything is going to be all right."

Narrator: "Then he explained to his driver."

Hercules: "Grimsby can paste his posters and me and my flowers, so wherever I go, they'll go too."

Hercules' Driver: "Well done, Hercules."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Hercules' Driver: "I'm sure Mickey Mouse will agree."

Narrator: "As indeed he did.

Hercules walked happily through the stations collecting his passengers."

Passengers: "Look."

Narrator: "They said."

Passengers: "Grimsby's is holding a party. We must go to that."

Narrator: "Later, Copper was resting in the orchard shed when Tod rolled by."

Tod: "Hello, Copper. Why are you dozing there like an old stick-in-the-mud?"

Copper: "I'm not dozing. I'm resting."

Narrator: "Replied Copper. Then he told Tod about Grimsby's party."

Tod: "I'll be there too."

Narrator: "Boasted Tod."

Tod: "I'm not sure if people will want to ride on a hound dog after traveling with a smart fox like me."

Narrator: "The party day arrived. It had rained heavily during the night, and the orchard ground was soaked."

Copper: "Rain and mud won't spoil my day."

Narrator: "Said Copper."

Alan-a-Dale: "No, indeed."

Narrator: "Agreed his driver."

Alan-a-Dale: "We'll stay on the road, then we won't get bogged down."

Narrator: "Copper was soon busy trundling up and down the quiet country lane, carrying lots of laughing children.

He was just turning a corner when he heard Tod."

Tod: "Hello, old-timer. I'm taking everyone to the party. People have some from all over Disneyland."

Narrator: "Copper gave Tod a cheerful whistle and turned back towards the orchard.

Then there was trouble."

Tod: "Help, I'm stuck!"

Narrator: "Shouted Tod. His feet had sunk deep in the orchard mud. Sebastian the Crab arrived just in time."

Sebastian: "I'm the one who helps plow fields."

Narrator: "Laughed Sebastian."

Sebastian: "We'd better get you out."

Narrator: "Using strong ropes, Sebastian and Copper pulled Tod clear of the mud."

Copper: "This will teach Tod a thing or two."

Narrator: "Copper chuffered to himself.

At last, Tod was on the road again."

Tod: "Thank you, Copper. You're not a stick-in-the-mud at all."

Copper: "No."

Narrator: "Smiled Copper."

Copper: "But you were, just for a little while."

Narrator: "That evening, Grimsby arrived to see Hercules and his driver."

Grimsby: "Thanks to your good idea about the posters, hundreds of people paid to come to the party. We've raised lots of money for the children."

Narrator: "Hercules was very pleased, and Copper fell happily asleep thinking of all the children who would now get to the seaside at last."

Captain Hook Does it Again
Narrator: "Jiminy Cricket and Piglet enjoy their work at the harbor, pulling and pushing pirates with cargo to and from the quay.

But one morning, the Disney characters were exhausted. The harbor was busier than ever.

Mickey Mouse promised that another character would be found to help them."

Piglet: "Huh! It's about time."

Narrator: "Said Piglet."

Jiminy Cricket: "I ache so much I can hardly get my feet to move."

Narrator: "Agreed Jiminy. They waited for the character to arrive.

It came as a shock when he did."

Captain Hook: "Good morning."

Narrator: "Squirmed Captain Hook in his oily voice. The two Disney characters had not worked with Captain Hook for a long time."

Jiminy Cricket: "What are you doing here?"

Narrator: "Gasped Jiminy."

Captain Hook: "Your worthy Mouse, ah, Mickey Mouse sent me. I hope you are pleased to see me again. I am to arrange some dreadfully tiresome pirates."

Piglet: "Arrange where?"

Narrator: "Said Piglet suspiciously."

Captain Hook: "Where? Why from here to there."

Narrator: "Purred Captain Hook."

Captain Hook: "And then again from there to here. Easy, isn't it?"

Narrator: "With that, Captain Hook, as if to make himself quite clear, bumped some pirates hard."

Pirates: "Ooooh!"

Narrator: "Screamed the pirates."

Captain Hook: "Grrrrrh!"

Narrator: "Growled Captain Hook.

Piglet and Jiminy were horrified. They did not trust Captain Hook at all. They refuse to work and would not leave their house.

Mickey was enjoying his tea and iced bun when the telephone rang."

Mickey Mouse: "So there's trouble in the harbor yard? I'll be there right away."

Narrator: "Captain Hook was working loudly and alone. Cargo lay on the quay. Ships and passengers were delayed. Everyone was complaining about Mickey Mouse's land.

Piglet and Jiminy were sulking in their house."

Mickey Mouse: "What's all this?"

Narrator: "Demanded Mickey."

Piglet: "We're on strike, sir."

Narrator: "Said Piglet nervously."

Jiminy Cricket: "Yes."

Narrator: "Added Jiminy."

Jiminy Cricket: "Beg pardon, sir, but we won't work with Captain Hook, sir. You said you sent him packing, sir."

Mickey Mouse: "I have to give Captain Hook a second chance."

Narrator: "Replied Mickey."

Mickey Mouse: "I'm trying to help you by bringing Captain Hook here. Now you must help me. He was the only one available."

Narrator: "Piglet and Jiminy went sadly back to work.

Next morning, things were no better. Captain Hook's driver had not set his feet up properly and Captain Hook started to move. He went bump straight into Piglet."

Captain Hook: "Wake up there, Piglet."

Narrator: "Scowled Captain Hook."

Captain Hook: "You have work to do."

Narrator: "He didn't even say he was sorry to Piglet.

Later, Captain Hook bumped the pirates so hard that the loads went everywhere."

Piglet: "What will Mickey say?"

Narrator: "Gasped Piglet."

Jiminy Cricket: "He won't like it."

Narrator: "Said Jiminy."

Captain Hook: "So who's going to tell him, I wonder? Two little goody-goody tattle-tales like you, I suppose."

Narrator: "Piglet and Jiminy did not want to be tattle-tales, so they said nothing.

Captain Hook, thinking he could get away with his bad behavior, was ruder than ever. Next day, he was arranging pirates with china clay. He banged the pirates hard into the buffers, but the buffers weren't secure.

The silly pirates were sunk.

Mickey Mouse heard the news.

The pirates were hoisted safely from the sea, but the clay was lost.

Mickey spoke severely to Captain Hook."

Mickey Mouse: "The harbor master has told me everything. Things worked much better here before you arrived. I shall not be inviting you back.

Now, Jiminy and Piglet, I hope you won't mind having to handle the work by yourselves again."

Piglet and Jiminy Cricket: "Oh no, sir. Yes, please, sir."

Narrator: "Replied the Disney characters. Whistling cheerfully, they puffed back to work while Captain Hook sulked slowly away."

Sir Ector and the Famous Visitor
Narrator: "It was an important day in the yard. Everyone was excited, making notes and taking photographs. A special visitor had arrived, and was now the center of attention."

Pongo: "Who's that?"

Narrator: "Whispered Pongo to Jiminy Cricket."

Jiminy Cricket: "That,"

Narrator: "Said Jiminy proudly,"

Jiminy Cricket: "Is a celebrity."

Piglet: "A what?"

Narrator: "Asked Piglet."

Jiminy Cricket: "A celebrity is a very famous character."

Narrator: "Replied Jiminy."

Jiminy Cricket: "Driver says we can talk to him soon."

Pongo: "Oh,"

Narrator: "Said Pongo."

Pongo: "He's probably too famous to even notice us."

Narrator: "Just then, Sir Ector arrived."

Sir Ector: "Pah!"

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "Who cares? A lot of fuss about nothing, if you ask me."

Narrator: "And he steamed away.

Later that night, the Disney Characters found that the visitor wasn't conceited at all. He enjoyed talking the Disney Characters, till' long after the stars came out.

He left early next morning. Sir Ector was still complaining"

Sir Ector: "Good riddance!"

Narrator: "He grumbled."

Sir Ector: "Chattering all night. Who is he, anyway?"

Pongo: "Jiminy told you,"

Narrator: "Replied Pongo."

Pongo: "He's famous."

Sir Ector: "As famous as me? Nonsense!"

Pongo: "He's famouser than you. He went 100 miles an hour before you were thought of."

Sir Ector: "Huh! So he says."

Narrator: "Huffed Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "But I didn't like his looks. He's got no armor. Never trust armorless princes. They're not respectable. I never boast, but I'd say that 100 miles an hour would be easy for me. Goodbye!"

Narrator: "Jiminy brought some pirates to Hercules' station."

Hercules: "Hello."

Narrator: "Called Hercules."

Hercules: "That famous prince came through this morning. He waved to me. Wasn't he kind?"

Jiminy Cricket: "He's the finest prince in the world."

Narrator: "Replied Jiminy, then he told Hercules what Sir Ector had said."

Hercules: "Take no notice."

Narrator: "Soothed Hercules."

Hercules: "He's just jealous. He thinks no Disney character should be famous, but him. Look, he's coming now."

Narrator: "Sir Ector was running fast. His feet pounded the road."

Sir Ector: "He did it, I'll do it. He did it, I'll do it!"

Narrator: "Sir Ector's line rocketed past, and was gone."

Jiminy Cricket: "He'll knock himself to bits!"

Narrator: "Chuckled Jiminy.

Sir Ector's driver eased him off."

Sir Ector's Driver: "Steady, Sir Ector. We aren't running a race."

Sir Ector: "We are, then."

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector, but he said it to himself.

Suddenly, Sir Ector began to feel a little strange."

Sir Ector: "My armor seems funny."

Narrator: "He thought."

Sir Ector: "It feels as if something is loose! I'd better go slower."

Narrator: "But it was too late.

On the viaduct, they met the wind. It was a teasing wind that blew suddenly at hard puffs. Sir Ector thought it wanted to push him off the bridge."

Sir Ector: "No, you don't!"

Narrator: "He said firmly.

But the wind had other ideas. It curled round his body, crept under his loose armor, and lifted off and away into the valley below.

Sir Ector was most uncomfortable. The cold wind was whistling through his body where his armor should be and he felt silly without it.

At the big station, the pirates laughed at him."

(Pirates laugh)

Narrator: "Sir Ector tried to shoo them away,"

(Pirates continue laughing)

Narrator: "But they crowded round, no matter what he did.

On the way back home, he wanted his driver to stop and fetch his armor."

Sir Ector's Driver: "We'll never find it now."

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Sir Ector's Driver: "You'll have to go to the workshop for a new one."

Narrator: "Sir Ector was very cross."

Sir Ector: "I hope the house is empty tonight."

Narrator: "He huffed to himself.

But all the Disney Characters were there waiting."

A Voice: "Never trust armorless princes."

Narrator: "Said a voice from somewhere behind him."

A Voice: "They aren't respectable."

Raccoon Twin 1's Duck
Narrator: "Jiminy Cricket worked hard in the yard at the big station.

Sometimes he worked with flowers, sometimes he worked with pirates. But whatever the work, Jiminy got the job done without fuss.

One day, Jiminy was resting in the house when Mickey Mouse arrived."

Mickey Mouse: "Your work in the yard has been good. Would you like to have a route for your own?"

Jiminy Cricket: "Yes, please sir."

Narrator: "Replied Jiminy.

So Jiminy took charge of his own route. The responsibility delighted him.

The route runs along the coast by sandy beaches till it meets a port where big ships come in.

Jiminy enjoyed exploring every curve and corner of the line. Sea breezes swirled his breath high into the air, and his clothes glistened in the sunlight."

Jiminy Cricket: "This is just like being on holiday."

Narrator: "He puffed."

Jiminy Cricket's Driver: "Well, you know what they say."

Narrator: "Laughed his driver."

Jiminy Cricket's Driver: "A change is as good as a rest."

Narrator: "Soon Jiminy was busier than ever.

Mickey was building a new station at the port. Jiminy pulled the pirates wherever they were needed.

Tod looked after Jiminy's passengers, and the other Disney Characters helped too, but the work took a long time.

Noise and dust filled the air."

Friar Tuck: "Don't worry."

Narrator: "Whistled Friar Tuck."

Friar Tuck: "The station's nearly finished."

Jiminy Cricket: "And on time too."

Narrator: "Said Jiminy thankfully.

Jiminy felt his responsibility deeply and talked endlessly about it."

Jiminy Cricket: "You don't understand, Raccoon Twin #1, how much Mickey relies on me."

Raccoon Twin #1: "Och aye."

Narrator: "Muttered Raccoon Twin #1 sleepily."

Jiminy Cricket: "I'm a conscience and I..."

Raccoon Twin #1: "Quack, quack, quack!"

Jiminy Cricket: "What?"

Raccoon Twin #1: "Ye heard. Quack, quack ye go. Sounds like you'd an egg laid. Now wheesht and let a boy sleep."

Jiminy Cricket: "Quack yourself!"

Narrator: "Said Jiminy indignantly.

Later he spoke to his driver."

Jiminy Cricket: "Raccoon Twin #1 says I quack as if I'd laid an egg."

Jiminy Cricket's Fireman: "Quack, do you?"

Narrator: "Pondered his fireman. He whispered something to Jiminy and his driver. They were going to play a joke on Raccoon Twin #1 and pay him back for teasing Jiminy.

The Disney Characters were busy for the rest of the day and nothing more was said, not even a quack.

But when at last Raccoon Twin #1 was asleep, Jiminy's driver and fireman popped something into his pocket.

Next morning, when Raccoon Twin stopped for water, he found that he had an unexpected passenger with him. A small white duckling popped out of his pocket."

Raccoon Twin #1: "Na doot who's behind this."

Narrator: "Laughed Raccoon Twin #1.

The duckling was tame. She shared the fireman's sandwiches, and rode on Raccoon Twin #1. The other Disney Characters enjoyed teasing Raccoon Twin #1 about her.

Presently, she grew tired of traveling and hopped off at a station, and there she stayed.

That night, Raccoon Twin #1's driver and fireman got busy, and in the morning when Jiminy's crew arrived to look him over, they laughed and laughed."

Jiminy Cricket's Driver: "Look, Jiminy! Look what's behind you. It's a nest box with an egg in it!"

Narrator: "Raccoon Twin #1 opened a sleepy eye."

Raccoon Twin #1: "Well, well, well. You must have laid it in the night, Jiminy. All unbeknownst."

Narrator: "Then Jiminy laughed too."

Jiminy Cricket: "You win, Raccoon Twin #1. It'd take a clever Disney Character to get the better of you."

Narrator: "There's a pond near the duckling's station. Here she often swims around and welcomes the Disney Characters as they pass by. The stationmaster calls her Dilly, but to everyone else, she is always Raccoon Twin 1's Duck."

Piglet and the Signal
Narrator: "Piglet works in the yard at the big station.

He loves playing jokes, but they can get him into trouble.

One morning, he was very cheeky indeed."

Piglet: "Hurry up, Sir Ector, the flowers are ready!"

Narrator: "Sir Ector thought he was late."

Piglet: "Ha ha ha!"

Narrator: "Laughed Piglet, and showed him a line of dirty pirates.

Sir Ector thought how to get back at Piglet for teasing him.

Next, it was Donald's turn."

Piglet: "Stay in the house today, Donald. Mickey Mouse will come and see you."

Donald Duck: "Ah,"

Narrator: "Thought Donald."

Donald Duck: "Mickey knows I'm a fine duck. He wants me to deliver a special."

Narrator: "Donald's driver and fireman could not make him move. The other Disney Characters grumbled dreadfully. They had to do Donald's work as well as their own.

At last, Captain Greer arrived."

Captain Greer: "Show a leg, Donald. You can't stay here all day."

Donald Duck: "Mickey told me to stay here. He sent a message this morning."

Captain Greer: "He did not. How could he? He's away for a week."

Donald Duck: "Oh!"

Narrator: "Said Donald."

Donald Duck: "Oh! Where's Piglet?"

Narrator: "Piglet had wisely disappeared.

When Mickey came back, he was cross with Donald and Piglet for causing so much trouble.

But the very next day, Piglet was still being cheeky."

Piglet: "I say, you Disney Characters, I'm to take some pirates to Pongo's junction. Mickey chose me especially. He must know I'm a really useful piglet."

Donald Duck: "More likely, he wants you out the way."

Narrator: "Grunted Donald.

Sir Ector looked across to Donald. They were going to play a trick on Piglet."

Sir Ector: "Donald and I were just speaking about signals at the junction. We can't be too careful about signals, but then, I needn't say that to a really useful piglet like you, Piglet."

Narrator: "Piglet felt flattered."

Donald Duck: "We have spoken of backing signals."

Narrator: "Put in Donald."

Donald Duck: "They need extra special care, you know. Would you like me to explain?"

Piglet: "No thank you, Donald."

Narrator: "Said Piglet."

Piglet: "I know all about signals."

Narrator: "Piglet was a little worried."

Piglet: "I wonder what backing signals are."

Narrator: "He thought."

Piglet: "Never mind, I'll manage."

Narrator: "He puffed crossly to his pirates, and felt better.

He came to a signal."

Piglet: "Bother! It's at 'Danger'."

Narrator: "The signal moved to show 'Line Clear'. Its arm moved up, instead of down. Piglet had never seen that sort of signal before."

Piglet: "Down means 'Go', and up means 'Stop', so upper still must mean 'Go Back'. I know! It's one of those backing signals."

Piglet's Driver: "Come on, Piglet!"

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Piglet's Driver: "Off we go. Stop! You're going the wrong way!"

Piglet: "But it's a backing signal!"

Narrator: "Piglet protested, and told him about Sir Ector and Donald. The driver laughed, and explained."

Piglet: "Oh, dear."

Narrator: "Said Piglet."

Piglet: "Let's start quickly before they see us."

Narrator: "He was too late. Sir Ector saw everything.

That night, the big Disney Characters talked about signals.

They thought the subject was funny. Piglet thought they were being very silly."

Pongo, Piglet and the Mail
Narrator: "At night, when the other Disney characters are tucked away in the houses, you can still hear the faraway call of a Disney character, and the sound of feet moving.

This is the sound of the mail delivery. One set of mail is delivered by Pongo, and the other by Piglet, as the loads are too heavy for one Disney character to do the work alone. The mail is given to pirates at the harbor, and the Disney characters pull their line through the silent stations delivering their precious loads.

On a clear night, a big shiny moon brightens their journey, but often Pongo and Piglet can't even see the stars. But whatever the weather, lamps along the path always light their way.

One night, Piglet was waiting at the junction. The main path line was late. At last, Baloo arrived."

Baloo: "Sorry."

Narrator: "He puffed."

Baloo: "The mail boat from the mainland was delayed."

Piglet's Driver: "Come on, Bart."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Piglet's Driver: "Let's make up for lost time."

Narrator: "Piglet puffed along as quickly as he could, but the sun was already rising as he finished his work."

Piglet: "Never mind."

Narrator: "Thought Piglet."

Piglet: "It's nice to be up and about when it's the start of a new day and there's no one else around."

Narrator: "Piglet was not alone for long."

Piglet: "Bother!"

Narrator: "Thought Piglet."

Piglet: "It's that dizzy thing, Owl."

Owl: "Good morning."

Narrator: "Whirled Owl."

Owl: "I always said roads were out of date, but you're so slow with the mail. You should give everyone their stamps back."

Narrator: "Piglet was too tired to explained."

Piglet: "Bird brain!"

Narrator: "He muttered."

Jiminy Cricket: "Good morning, Piglet."

Narrator: "Called Jiminy."

Jiminy Cricket: "You're up early this morning."

Piglet: "No, you're wrong."

Narrator: "Sighed Piglet."

Piglet: "I'm back tired and late."

Narrator: "He rolled into the house and fell asleep almost before his back touched the bed.

His driver decided to set off early that evening. Pongo was waiting at the station."

Pongo: "Thank goodness I have a chance to speak to you. Driver says that the person in charge of the mail has complained to Mickey Mouse about the delay last night."

Piglet: "But that wasn't my fault."

Narrator: "Replied Piglet."

Pongo: "I know."

Narrator: "Said Pongo."

Pongo: "And so does Mickey, but this mail person wouldn't listen. Tonight, we'll just have to be quicker than ever before."

Narrator: "The Disney characters were just leaving when they heard a familiar buzzing."

Owl: "I say you two, there's news flying about."

Piglet: "Where?"

Narrator: "Puffed Piglet crossly."

Owl: "All over the place. They're going to scrap your mail deliveries and use me instead. Wings work wonders, you know. Always."

Pongo: "Rubbish!"

Narrator: "Huffed Pongo.

That night, everything ran like clockwork. Pongo and Piglet went through the stations, making good time everywhere they went.

At a station, Pongo saw a man looking cold and worried. He had missed his ride home."

Pongo's Driver: "We can give you a ride."

Narrator: "Said Pongo's driver."

Pongo's Driver: "But it'll be rather uncomfortable."

George Banks: "Thank you."

Narrator: "Said the man."

George Banks: "Anything's better than sitting here."

Narrator: "The next afternoon, Piglet past the forest and saw Owl."

Piglet: "Hello, lazy wings. Are you too tired to fly today?"

Owl: "The wind's too strong."

Narrator: "Grumbled Owl."

Owl: "I've been grounded."
