Transcript
Narrator: "It had been a stormy night in Ponyville. Telegraph poles had blown down. Tiles had blown off the station roofs. And branches had fallen onto the lines. All over the town, the storm had made a terrible mess.

Hoity Toity came to the library."

Hoity Toity: "The storm has caused confusion and delay."

Narrator: "He boomed."

Hoity Toity: "So you must all be really useful animals."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I'll be the most useful animal!"

Narrator: "Boasted Cranky."

Big Macintosh: "No, I will!"

Narrator: "Sniffed Big Macintosh."

Big Macintosh: "I'm the fastest. I'll do the most journeys."

Narrator: "Spike hoped he could finish his special delivery as quickly as possible. He wanted to be the most useful animal of all.

Soon, all the animals were walking away from the library.

Cranky went to the town hall to pick up the workmen.

Big Mac went to the goods yard to collect telegraph poles.

Braeburn trundled to collect new roof tiles.

And Spike went to the train station.

Igneous Rock Pie was waiting for Spike. Next to him were boxes and boxes of newly laid eggs."

Igneous Rock Pie: "These fresh eggs are needed across the town."

Narrator: "Said Igneous Rock Pie. The station staff quickly loaded Spike's wagons with the eggs, and the Spike was raring to go."

Igneous Rock Pie: "My eggs must be delivered safely."

Narrator: "Said Igneous Rock Pie."

Igneous Rock Pie: "So I am coming to make sure you go slowly and carefully."

Spike: "Slowly?"

Narrator: "Wheeshed Spike sadly. He wanted to finish his job quickly and make lots of journeys. Spike gave one sad whistle, and slowly pulled away.

Spike trundled on. He huffed and puffed as gently as he could.

Spike had to stop at a crossing. Big Mac raced by."

Big Macintosh: "Fastest and best!"

Narrator: "He chirruped. Big Mac looked very happy. Spike felt very sad.

Spike pulled into the general store. Cranky was waiting. He was carrying workmen. They were fixing the store roof. The staff unloading four boxes of eggs for the store."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "How many journeys have you done?"

Narrator: "Asked Cranky brightly."

Spike: "This is my first."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Ha!"

Narrator: "Huffed Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I'm on my third. I'm as brown as a rocket and twice as fast!"

Narrator: "And he steamed quickly out of the station. Spike was upset. He wanted to go fast more than ever. Now the eggs were unloaded, and Spike chuffed slowly out of the station.

Spike puffed across the countryside, very, very slowly.

Then Spike saw Braeburn drinking some water in a siding. His wagons were full of roof tiles. Braeburn was having a wonderful day."

Braeburn: "I'm on my second journey!"

Narrator: "He whistled proudly. Spike was very sad. Braeburn rushed past him. It made Spike want to go faster than ever."

Spike: "Even Braeburn has made more journeys than me."

Narrator: "He moaned."

Spike: "It's not fair! I can be fast and careful."

Narrator: "So Spike started to speed up."

Spike: "Fast and careful, fast and careful."

Narrator: "He huffed happily. But Spike was going so fast, he wasn't being careful. Igneous Rock Pie was worried."

Igneous Rock Pie: "Slow down, Spike!"

Narrator: "He called."

Igneous Rock Pie: "You will break my eggs."

Narrator: "But Spike was going so quickly, he didn't hear Igneous Rock Pie. And he didn't slow down. He went even faster. The eggs started to bounce in their boxes.

Then Spike changed paths. It caused a big bump. The eggs were breaking!

Spike came to a junction. He had to slow down."

Igneous Rock Pie: "Stop, Spike!"

Narrator: "Cried Igneous Rock Pie."

Igneous Rock Pie: "You have broken my eggs!"

Narrator: "This time Spike did hear Igneous Rock Pie, and he stopped right away."

Spike: "Fire and scales!"

Narrator: "He cried. But Igneous Rock Pie was still cross. Spike felt bad."

Spike: "I'm sorry."

Narrator: "He whistled."

Spike: "I just wanted to be really useful."

Narrator: "Igneous Rock Pie checked his eggs. Luckily, only a few were broken. Now Spike knew he had to go slowly. So he pulled away as gently as he could.

Spike headed to Ponyville Docks. Suddenly he heard an impatient whistle. Cranky was behind him. He blew his whistle loudly. But Spike knew he couldn't speed up."

Spike: "Sometimes going slowly can be just as important as going fast."

Narrator: "Said Spike. And he puffed carefully on.

That evening, Hoity Toity came to the library. He looked very pleased."

Hoity Toity: "You have all worked hard and been really useful animals."

Narrator: "He said. The animals were very happy, except for Spike. He was thinking about the broken eggs."

Spike: "I only made one journey, sir."

Narrator: "He said sadly."

Spike: "And I broke Igneous Rock Pie's eggs."

Hoity Toity: "But most of the eggs were delivered safely."

Narrator: "Boomed Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "Igneous Rock Pie gave the broken ones to me. And I love having scrambled eggs for my breakfast. You, Spike,"

Narrator: "He added."

Hoity Toity: "Are a really useful dragon."

Narrator: "Spike just beamed."
