Transcript
Narrator: "Spike the Dragon is very proud of his route. He thinks it's the most important part of Ponyville. His two fillies, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle agree with him.

Apple Bloom can only take passengers, but Sweetie Belle can take passengers, baggage and the conductor. They are both old need new fur, but Spike loves them very much.

As they run backwards and forwards along the path, they sing songs to each other. When Spike starts from a station, he sings,"

Spike: "Oh, come along, we're rather late, oh, come along, we're rather late."

Narrator: "And the fillies sing,"

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

Narrator: "They don't mind what Spike sings to them because they know he is trying to please Hoity Toity. And they know too that if Spike is cross, he's not cross with them.

One day, they had to wait for Big Macintosh's passengers, which made Spike very cross."

Spike: "How can I run my route properly if Big Mac's always late? He doesn't realize that Hoity Toity depends on me."

Narrator: "Spike whistled impatiently. He wanted to leave, but he had to wait for Big Mac's passengers.

At last, Big Mac came."

Spike: "Where have been lazybones?"

Narrator: "Asked Spike."

Big Macintosh: "Oh dear, my body is out of order. No one understands my case. You don't know what I suffer."

Narrator: "Moaned Big Mac."

Spike: "Rubbish!"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "You're too slow! You need exercise!"

Narrator: "The conductor blew his whistle, and Spike started so quickly that he left him behind. The conductor waved his red flag to stop Spike, but he was well on his way hurrying out of the station."

Spike: "Come along, come along."

Narrator: "Puffed Spike. But Sweetie Belle didn't want to come."

Sweetie Belle: "I've lost my nice conductor, I've lost my nice conductor."

Narrator: "She sobbed.

Apple Bloom tried to tell Spike what had happened."

Apple Bloom: "We haven't a conductor, we haven't a conductor!"

Narrator: "But he was hurrying and wouldn't listen. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle tried to stop, but they couldn't without the conductor."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "Where is our conductor? Where is our conductor?"

Narrator: "They cried. But Spike didn't stop till they came to a signal."

Spike: "Bother that signal!"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "What's the matter?"

Spike's Driver: "I don't know."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Spike's Driver: "The conductor will tell us in a minute."

Narrator: "They waited and waited, but the conductor didn't come."

Spike: "Peep, peep, peep! Where is the conductor?"

Narrator: "Whistled Spike."

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "We've left him behind."

Narrator: "Sobbed Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle together.

Everyone looked, and there he was running as fast as he could along the path with his flags in one hand and his whistle in the other. He was very hot. So he had a drink, and told them all about it."

Spike: "I'm very sorry."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Conductor: "We all make mistakes."

Narrator: "Replied the conductor."

Conductor: "Look, the signal is down. We can go. Let's make up for lost time."

Narrator: "Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were so pleased to have their conductor again that they sang,"

Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle: "As fast as you like, as fast as you like."

Narrator: "To Spike all the way.

They reached the end of the route quicker than ever before."
