## Transcript

* (Dumbo and Friends Season 1-7 Theme)
* Dumbo's friends were excited.
* He was taking them to the Warehouse.
* Otus couldn't wait to get to work.
* "Hurry, Dumbo!" he called.
* "I'm going as fast as Timothy allows." chuffed Dumbo.
* "Don't mind Otus!" called Timmy. "He's always in a hurry!"
* Soon, Dumbo had delivered Otus and Timmy to the Warehouse.
* Harriet warned her students about the very busy site.
* "So, you must be careful." she said.
* "Anyone causing an accident will be sent back to the Yard immediately." added Osbourne.
* Finlay was worried. He sometimes caused accidents.
* He didn't want to be sent back to the Yard.
* "Don't worry." said Wallace, "I'll make sure you don't back into anything."
* Most of Harriet's Students were working very carefully.
* Wallace guided him around corners and through the stacks of bricks.
* "Oh, boy!" said Finlay, proudly.
* He was having fun.
* Otus was having fun, too, but he wasn't being careful at all.
* "Slow down, Otus!" Mittens boomed. "You'll have an accident!"
* "Not me!" Otus shouted, cheerfully.
* Dumbo could see Otus was being careless.
* He hoped his friend wouldn't get into trouble.
* But Otus did get into trouble.
* He backed into a stack of roofing slate and smashed it into tiny pieces.
* "Blistering buckets!" said Otus.
* He looked around.
* No-one had seen him break the slate - not even Wallace.
* Otus knew he had been naughty, but he didn't want to be sent back to the Yard.
* So, he filled his net full of gravel and drove away.
* Finlay didn't see the broken slate and rolled right over it.
* "Finlay!" cried Wallace. "You've knocked over the slates!"
* "I didn't do it!" protested Finlay. "It wasn't me!"
* But there was nothing Finlay could do - it was an accident.
* Wallace would have to call Harriet.
* "It's not fair!" grumbled Finlay.
* Timmy pulled up just as Otus saw Finlay driving slowly away.
* "Where's Finlay going?" asked Otus. "He knocked over some roofing slate." said Timmy. "Dumbo is taking him back to the Yard." Finlay was in trouble.
* Otus knew it was all his fault. What should he do? Timmy could see Otus was upset. "What's wrong?" he asked. But Otus didn't answer.
* He raced off without a word. "Wait!" Otus shouted. "Wait! Harriet!" called Otus, out of breath. "Finlay didn't break the slate - I did!"
* And Otus told her what he had done. Harriet was cross. "It was brave of you to own up." she said, "but what am I to do with you?"
* "Send me back to the Yard?" said Otus, sadly. And so she did. As Otus was being loaded onto Dumbo's low-loader, he called to Finlay.
* "I'm sorry you got blamed for my accident. I should've owned up earlier." "That's all right." said Finlay.
* "But I'm glad it wasn't me, it wasn't me, it wasn't me!" sang Finlay as he steamed back to work.
* "Good for you, Otus!" Dumbo called. All the way to the Yard, Otus felt good. Deep down in his pistons, he knew he'd done the right thing.
