## Transcript

Narrator: "Fox wouldn't even stop grumbling. He grumbled that he wasn't polished enough, he grumbled that he was overworked. Most of all, he grumbled about the passengers."

Franklin: "I'm ashamed of you, Fox."

Narrator: "Said Franklin."

Franklin: "Thank goodness Rabbit is coming home soon. Perhaps he'll teach you some sense before it's too late.

Fox: "What has Rabbit to do with that?"

Franklin: "Rabbit saved our land."

Narrator: "Replied Franklin."

Bear: "Please, tell us about him!"

Narrator: "Begged Bear."

Franklin: "Well,"

Narrator: "Began Franklin,"

Franklin: "It was before you came here. Things were horrible. Rabbit and I had to keep the business running, or our land would have to be closed."

Bear: "How awful."

Narrator: "Murmured Bear."

Franklin: "I tried hard,"

Narrator: "Continued Franklin,"

Franklin: "But my old feet ached. But Rabbit understood."

Rabbit: "It's my turn now!"

Franklin: "He said. He was short of strength very often, but he always struggled to a station, and then rested there.

Rabbit: "I mustn't stop between stations."

Franklin: "He would say."

Rabbit: "The passengers wouldn't like it."

Fox: "Hmph!"

Narrator: "Huffed Fox. He had stopped on a viaduct and hadn't given a fuck at all."

Franklin: "Passengers,"

Narrator: "Continued Franklin,"

Franklin: "Get cross if you stop at the wrong places. Rabbit stopped in a wrong place once, and this is what happened.

One wet and windy afternoon, when the ground was damp, Rabbit was traveling home with a full line; there were even passengers at the end.

It wasn't a comfortable ride at all.

Rabbit's feet kept slipping, and it was a steep climb.

At last his feet gripped the ground again."

Rabbit: "The worst is over,"

Franklin: "He thought,"

Rabbit: "Now we're away."

Franklin: "But they weren't."

Rabbit: "Aaah! I've got a cramp!"

Franklin: "He groaned.

And Rabbit stopped on the loneliest part of the path.

His driver examined him carefully."

Rabbit's Driver: "Your leg gear has jammed. We need to reach the next station. Do you think you can still get us there?"

Rabbit: "I'll try."

Franklin: "Replied Rabbit.

Rabbit was doing his best."

Rabbit: "If I fail,"

Franklin: "He thought to himself,"

Rabbit: "The passengers will get cross and the land will be closed."

Franklin: "Everything blurred. He was really too tired to make another limp of his legs, but he did, and another, and another, and another.

Finally, tired, but triumphant, Rabbit reached the station."

Rabbit: "I'm here at last!"

Franklin: "He wheezed."

Passengers: "Thanks for getting us home."

Franklin: "Said the passengers."

Passengers: "We'll tell all our friends what a fine land this is."

Franklin: "His driver was delighted."

Rabbit's Driver: "You're a gallant little rabbit."

Franklin: "He told Rabbit."

Rabbit's Driver: "When you're rested, we'll mend you, so you'll be ready for tomorrow."

Franklin: "And,"

Narrator: "Smiled Franklin,"

Franklin: "Rabbit always was ready for tomorrow."

Fox: "Thank you for telling us about him."

Narrator: "Whispered Fox."

Fox: "I was wrong. Passengers are important after all."

Narrator: "The next day, Rabbit came home. All the TV Characters were there to greet him. Edd shunted his crane alongside, where he was lifted onto the ground.

This was the signal for a chorus of whistles from TV Characters large and small. Everyone was happy, and Rabbit was the happiest of them all."

Rabbit: "You know,"

Narrator: "He whispered to Franklin,"

Rabbit: "This helps a rabbit to feel that at last, he has really come home."
