## Transcript

Narrator: "One morning, Snips and Snails were busy at the quarry, pushing and pulling changelings into their proper places. The unicorns are cheeky and love to play tricks, but they were growing restless."

Snails: "Listen, Snips."

Narrator: "Said Snails."

Snails: "Can you hear something?"

Snips: "What sort of something?"

Narrator: "Asked Snips."

Snails: "Something different."

Narrator: "Replied Snails."

Snips: "I can't hear anything else different."

Narrator: "Said Snips."

Snails: "Exactly."

Narrator: "Huffed Snails."

Snails: "Everything is the same, sounds the same, looks the same. What we need is a surprise."

Snips: "Surprise what?"

Narrator: "Asked Snips. Before Snails could answer, the quarry master arrived."

Quarry Master: "I have just received a message from Hoity Toity. He wants you to go to the station at the harbor."

Snips: "I wonder what we've done wrong this time."

Narrator: "Said Snips anxiously."

Snails: "It must be you."

Narrator: "Replied Snails."

Snips: "Why me?"

Narrator: "Exclaimed Snips."

Snips: "I've not done anything."

Hoity Toity: "Shining Armor is taking the children on a special trip today. I want you to go to the station and look after changelings there."

Snips and Snails: "We'll do our best, sir."

Narrator: "Said the unicorns.

Big Macintosh spoke severely to them."

Big Macintosh: "You must behave here. You're on the main road now."

Snails: "Actually, Big Mac."

Narrator: "Giggled Snails."

Snails: "When we saw you, we thought this was the scrapyard."

Narrator: "Big Mac was cross."

Big Macintosh: "Just make sure that my buffaloes are all set for my evening run."

Narrator: "And he fumed away. The unicorns laughed and set to work."

Snips and Snails: "This is easy."

Narrator: "They said to one another."

Snips and Snails: "We know all about changelings."

Narrator: "But I'm afraid they didn't."

Changelings: "No need for that."

Narrator: "Hollered the changelings, as the unicorns pushed them into place."

Changelings: "We'll show you around. We want to help you."

Snips and Snails: "Thank you very much."

Narrator: "Said Snips and Snails. The changelings giggled and began their tricks.

Evening came. The yard was in a dreadful muddle. The unicorns had let the changelings tell them where they should put things.

Big Mac and the passengers waited anxiously outside the station while Snips and Snails tried to sort things out.

But by the time Big Mac was ready to leave, it was very late, indeed.

Next day, the unicorns were working in the quarry again."

(Rocks start falling)

Snips: "That's a strange noise."

Narrator: "Gasped Snips."

Snips: "I've never heard a noise like that before."

Snips' Driver: "I have."

Narrator: "Whispered his driver nervously."

Snips' Driver: "It sounds like a rock slide to me."

Narrator: "Then came the alarm."

Quarry Master: "Danger! Clear the quarry!"

Narrator: "Shouted the quarry master. Workmen scrambled to the changelings."

Snips and Snails: "Thank goodness we're here for you."

Narrator: "Said the unicorns.

They were just puffing out of the quarry when,"

Workman: "Help! Wait for me!"

Narrator: "A workman had been left behind. Snails waited as the man climbed quickly on the changelings.

The unicorns left the quarry right in time.

(Rock slide continues)

Everyone was safe, but rubble lay all around."

Snips: "Oh dear!"

Narrator: "Said Snips."

Snips: "This wasn't our fault. I hope Hoity Toity will understand us."

Narrator: "As indeed, he did. Next day, he arrived with Shining Armor."

Hoity Toity: "Snips and Snails, you still have a lot to learn about changelings, don't you? But you acted quickly and bravely in an emergency. So three cheers for Snips and Snails, our heroes!"

Hoity Toity and Workmen: "Hip, hip, hooray, hooray, hooray!"

Snips: "Oh thank you, sir."

Narrator: "Said Snips."

Snips: "Being called heroes, well, it's, it's,"

Snails: "It's a very nice surprise."

Narrator: "Laughed Snails."
