## Transcript

Narrator: "Big Bird the Yellow Bird was busy talking to the other TV Characters. It was his first visit to their land and he was having a splendid time."

Big Bird: "You are very lucky TV Characters."

Narrator: "He said."

Big Bird: "Your land has got everything. It's long enough to give you a good run, and you've got plenty of passengers. Then you have a quarry and a mine, so you'll need plenty of goombas. Goombas are fun. I missed them on our land."

Narrator: "Bart was surprised. All the TV Characters thought goombas cause a lot of trouble."

Bart: "You're welcome to take some of mine."

Narrator: "He said."

Bart: "But you better ask driver first."

Narrator: "They're drivers agreed and the two TV Characters set off.

RS Mr. Conductor and Grandpa Dave were speechless.

Big Bird took some goombas to the harbor. Then he picked up a load of empty ones and started back.

A cricket field was up ahead. The game had just began. Big Bird and his driver had to wait at a signal."

Big Bird's Driver: "Good."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Big Bird's Driver: "We can watch the game."

Narrator: "Then, there was trouble ahead. The batsman hit the ball. It went flying high in the sky towards Big Bird. "Clunk" goes the signal. "Thump" goes the ball onto a goomba. But neither driver nor fireman heard it."

Crows: "Stop!"

Narrator: "Shouted the crows. But Big Bird didn't hear them."

Big Bird: "Come along. Come along."

Narrator: "He puffed to the goombas."

Crows: "Our one and only ball."

Narrator: "They thought sadly."

Crows: "Wake up, Zoe."

Narrator: "They said to their dog."

Crows: "The chase is on."

Narrator: "Zoe coughed crossly and rolled down the road.

Big Bird was in no hurry. Zoe soon came up from behind."

Zoe: "Ruff, ruff!"

Narrator: "She barked. The crows hollered but Big Bird was still too far for his driver and fireman to see or hear properly. They were completely misunderstanding."

Big Bird's Driver: "If those jokers want a race,"

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Big Bird's Driver: "They can have one. Faster, Big Bird! Faster!"

Narrator: "Poor Zoe wasn't very happy at all. She rattled along at twice her usual speed."

Zoe: "I shouldn't be treated like that."

Narrator: "She grumbled."

Zoe: "This pace is way too hot for me. It'll fuse all of my body."

Narrator: "Suddenly, Big Bird was nowhere else to be seen."

Zoe: "Hurrah!"

Narrator: "Cried Zoe."

Zoe: "That silly bird has run into a hole so we can't catch up with it. I can go home now."

Narrator: "But it was no use. Her driver pounded Zoe on up the steep hill, and then down the other side towards the big station. Big Bird was already there and Zoe cluttered in."

Crows: "We need our ball back."

Narrator: "Replied the crows and explained everything.

The ball was with the third goomba from the end of the line."

Glasses Crow: "We found it!"

Narrator: "Cried a crow."

Big Bird's Driver: "We're very sorry."

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Glasses Crow: "Ah, you couldn't help it."

Narrator: "Replied the crow."

Glasses Crow: "Now, we must get back quickly."

Big Bird's Driver: "You'll be lucky."

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Big Bird's Driver: "Zoe looks worn out."

Narrator: "And she was. The driver spoke to the stationmaster and the signalman and they all agreed on the plan.

Soon they put Zoe onto a wagon and a trailer coupled from behind. The crows crowded inside and Big Bird took them back to the basefield.

Everybody enjoyed watching the game. Even Zoe was impressed."

Big Bird: "She doesn't think birds are silly now."

Zoe: "They have their uses."

Narrator: "She said."

Zoe: "They can save the wear on a poor dog's paw."
