## Transcript

Narrator: "It was a special holiday in Ponyville. Angel the Rabbit was working harder than ever before.

All the other animals were busy, too.

Soarin was waiting for his next journey. Near him stood a teenage dragon, but he didn't look friendly like Angel at all. The dragon growled as he gazed at the happy passengers."

Garble: "Stupid nonsense."

Narrator: "He grumbled."

Garble: "I wouldn't have brought them if I'd known. I'd have had a breakdown or something."

Soarin: "I'm glad you didn't."

Narrator: "Smiled Soarin."

Soarin: "You'd have spoiled their fun."

Garble: "Bah! Enjoyment is everyone else lives for. One day, Ponyville will be ripped up!"

Narrator: "Soarin felt shocked at such an idea."

Soarin: "We have a friend called Angel, and he's a rabbit, but he likes Ponyville. Sometimes he teases us about it, but he'd never want to see it ripped up."

Garble: "Heh!"

Narrator: "Growled the dragon."

Garble: "I know Angel. He's too small in size to be of any use."

Narrator: "Soarin took no notice."

Soarin: "That dragon is silly."

Narrator: "He thought, as he steamed away.

At the junction, Soarin told Dr. Hooves all about him."

Dr. Hooves: "I call him Garble!"

Narrator: "Chuckled Dr. Hooves, and then he puffed happily away.

But that afternoon, when the two ponies met again, Dr. Hooves was no longer laughing."

Dr. Hooves: "Garble's friend has come."

Narrator: "He said."

Dr. Hooves: "He's rude, too! He's taking Garble's passengers home, and leaving Garble free to steal ours."

Soarin: "But he can't!"

Narrator: "Objected Soarin."

Dr. Hooves: "Garble says he can get them to the big station before us."

Soarin: "Rubbish!"

Narrator: "Replied Soarin."

Soarin: "It's much farther by road."

Dr. Hooves: "Yeah,"

Narrator: "Continued Dr. Hooves."

Dr. Hooves: "But Garble says he knows a shortcut!"

Narrator: "That evening, the ponies were preparing for the homeward rush."

Soarin: "Where are the passengers?"

Narrator: "They wondered."

Dr. Hooves: "Look!"

Narrator: "Shrilled Dr. Hooves."

Dr. Hooves: "Look at Garble! He's a mean, scarlet deciever!"

Narrator: "Garble was wearing a large sign, saying, 'Ponyville Dragon'."

Garble: "Yeah, boo, snubs!"

Narrator: "He jeered, as he roared away."

Soarin: "Come on,"

Narrator: "Puffed Soarin to his buffaloes,"

Soarin: "Let's see what he's up to!"

Narrator: "Soarin wanted to pay Garble back, but he wasn't sure he knows how.

Then, in the distance, Soarin saw a man waving a red flag. That meant 'Danger'.

The line here crosses a narrow road, and there was Garble, wedged firmly under the bridge."

Soarin: "So this was his shortcut."

Narrator: "Chuckled Soarin."

Passengers: "He tricked us!"

Narrator: "Shouted Garble's passengers."

Passengers: "He said he was a Ponyville Dragon, but he wouldn't accept our return tickets! He wanted us to think Ponyville was no good!"

Narrator: "Soarin's crew examined the bridge."

Soarin's Driver: "It's risky, but we must help the passengers."

Soarin: "Passengers are urgent."

Narrator: "Agreed Soarin. Soarin slowly and gently set off across the bridge. Garble wailed as he felt the bridge quiver."

Garble: "Oh, oh!"

Narrator: "He groaned."

Garble: "Stop!"

Narrator: "He shouted."

Garble: "It might fall down on me!"

Soarin: "That would serve you right for telling lies."

Narrator: "Said Soarin, but the bridge didn't collapse.

Soarin made good time, and all the passengers caught their rides.

The bridge is now mended, but not unfortunately, Garble and his ways. He never learned any sense. He's a henhouse from now, and his lies can do no harm. The hens never listen to them, anyway."
