Transcript
Narrator: "When Spike walked along his path, he always looked forward to something special...the sight of the river. As he rumbled over he bridge, he would see people fishing. Spike often want to stay and watch. But his driver said,"

Spike's Driver: "No. What would Hoity Toity say if we were late?"

Narrator: "Every time he met another animal, he would say,"

Spike: "I want to fish."

Narrator: "But they all had the same answer."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Dragons don't go fishing."

Spike: "Silly stick-in-the-muds."

Narrator: "Thought Spike.

One day he stopped as usual to get a drink of water at the station by the river."

Spike: "Out of order! Bother!"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "I'm thirsty."

Spike's Driver: "Never mind."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Spike's Driver: "We'll get some water from the river."

Narrator: "They found a bucket and some rope, and went to the bridge.

Then the driver let the bucket down to the water. The bucket was old and had five holes. So they had to fill it, pull it up and give it to Spike as quickly as they could several times over.

They finished at last."

Spike: "That's good. That's good."

Narrator: "Puffed Spike. And Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle ran happily behind.

Suddenly Spike began to feel a pain in his boiler. Smoke began to come from him in an alarming way."

Spike's Driver: "There's too much smoke."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Spike: "Oh dear!"

Narrator: "Groaned Spike."

Spike: "I'm going to burst! I'm going to burst!"

Narrator: "They fanned away the smoke and struggled on."

Spike: "I've got such a pain. I've got such a pain."

Narrator: "Spike hissed.

They stopped just outside the last, unhooked Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle and ran Spike, who was still hissing fit to burst, on a siding right out of the way.

Then, while the conductor telephoned for a dragon inspector, the driver found notices in large letter which he hung on Spike in front and behind.

DANGER. KEEP AWAY.

Soon the inspector and Hoity Toity arrived."

Hoity Toity and Inspector: "Cheer up, Spike."

Narrator: "They said."

Hoity Toity and Inspector: "We'll soon put you right."

Narrator: "The driver told them what had happened."

Inspector: "So his stomach is too full."

Narrator: "Said the inspector."

Inspector: "I'll just look inside."

Narrator: "He peered inside. Then he turned to Hoity Toity."

Inspector: "Excuse me, sir. Please look inside and tell me what you see."

Hoity Toity: "Certainly, inspector."

Narrator: "Replied Hoity Toity. He looked in and nearly fell down in surprise."

Hoity Toity: "Inspector,"

Narrator: "He whispered."

Hoity Toity: "Can you see fish?

Gracious goodness me. How did the fish get there, driver?"

Spike's Driver: "We must have fished them from the river with our bucket."

Narrator: "Replied Spike's Driver."

Hoity Toity: "Well, Spike. So you and your driver have been fishing. But fish don't suit you. We must get them out."

Narrator: "They all took turns at fishing in Spike while Hoity Toity looked on and told them how to do it. When they had caught all the fish, they had a lovely picnic supper of fish and chips."

Hoity Toity: "Hmmm. That was good."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "But fish don't suit you, Spike. So you mustn't do it again."

Spike: "No sir, I won't."

Narrator: "Said Spike sadly."

Spike: "Dragons don't go fishing. It's too uncomfortable."
