Transcript
Narrator: "One day, Sonic was in the forest where he lived with the other animals. They were all bigger than Sonic and boasted about it."

Knuckles: "The Animator won't choose you again."

Narrator: "Said Knuckles."

Knuckles: "He wants strong animals like us."

Narrator: "But the animator felt sorry for Sonic."

Sonic's Animator: "Would you like to come out today?"

Sonic: "Oh, yes, please!"

Narrator: "Said Sonic. So he had his breakfast, gained losts of stamina, and Sonic puffed away.

The other animals were very cross at being left behind.

Sonic had a wonderful day. The swans were very kind and the animator was very pleased."

Sonic: "I'm going out again tomorrow."

Narrator: "Sonic told the other animals that night."

Sonic: "What do you think about that?"

Narrator: "But he didn't hear what they thought, for he was so tired and happy, that he fell asleep at once.

Next morning, Sonic woke up to find nothing had changed. Knuckles was still boasting."

Knuckles: "You watch me, little Sonic, as I rush through with the express. That will be a splendid sight for you.

Good-bye, little Sonic. Look out for me this afternoon."

Narrator: Sonic went off to do some tackling.

Sonic liked tackling. It was fun playing with Perfecto Prep Alumni. He would come up quietly and give them a push. Then he would stop and the Perfectoids would go bump into each other.

Perfectoid #1: "Oh!"

Narrator: "They cried."

Perfectoid #2: "Whatever is happening?"

Narrator: "Sonic played until there were no more Perfectoids. Then he stopped to rest.

Presently, he heard some grumbling.

Knuckles was very cross. Instead of nice, shining swans, he was taking Perfecto Prep Alumni."

Knuckles: "Perfectoids, Perfectoids, Perfectoids!"

Narrator: "He grumbled."

Knuckles: "The shame of it, the shame of it, oh, the shame of it!"

Narrator: "Sonic laughed, and went to find some more Perfectoids.

Then there was trouble."

Porter: "Knuckles can't get up the hill."

Narrator: "The porter called to Sonic's animator."

Porter: "Will you take Sonic and push him, please?"

Narrator: "They found Knuckles halfway up, and very cross. His animator was talking to him severely."

Knuckles' Animator: "You're not trying!"

Knuckles: "I Can't do it!"

Narrator: "Said Knuckles."

Knuckles: "The noisy Perfectoids hold an Echidna back so."

Narrator: "Sonic's Animator came up."

Sonic's Animator: "We've come to push."

Knuckles: "No use at all!"

Sonic's Animator: "You wait and see."

Narrator: "Replied Sonic's Animator.

They brought the Perfectoids back to the bottom of the hill."

Sonic: "I'm ready!"

Narrator: "Said Sonic."

Knuckles: "No good."

Narrator: "Grumbled Knuckles. They pulled and pushed as hard as they could.

Knuckles: "I can't do it! I can't do it! I can't do it!"

Narrator: "Puffed Knuckles."

Sonic: "I will do it, I will do it, I will do it!"

Narrator: "Puffed Sonic. Sonic pushed and puffed, and puffed and pushed as hard as ever he could. And almost before he realized it, Knuckles found himself at the top of the hill."

Knuckles: "I've done it, I've done it, I've done it!"

Narrator: "He said proudly. He forgot all about Sonic and didn't wait to say 'Thank you'.

Sonic was left out of breath and far behind. He ran onto the next station, and there he found that his animator was very pleased with him. The animator gave him a nice long drink, and said,"

Animator: "I'll get out my paint tomorrow, and give you a beautiful shade of blue with red shoes. Then you'll be the smartest hedgehog in Acme Acres."
