9
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: to some friends. Hello to Paloma Devirees Polis, Hello to

10
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: Aila and Hattie in Seattle, and hello to Adriana, Tim

11
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: and Ezra. Thank you so much for supporting us. In

12
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: this episode, Tinkle is going to start living at George's

13
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: farm in the city. He is surprised to see Hobble,

14
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: another horse from the stock farm. There, Tinkle learns all

15
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: about the new things to expect now that he lives

16
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: at his new home. Tinkle the Trick Pony, Part five. Well,

17
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: I never expected to see you here, exclaimed a winnying

18
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: voice as Tinkle was led into his stall. The little

19
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: pony looked up in surprise and saw a big horse.

20
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: Oh why hello, Hobble, cried Tinkle as he saw the

21
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: horse that used to live on the stock farm with him.

22
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: My name isn't Hobble anymore. It's Prince. Oh well, hello,

23
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: then Prince called Tinkle in a cordial, off hand manner

24
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: where he now felt quite grown up. Had he not

25
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: been hitched up, and had he not carried a boy

26
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: on his back. I didn't know you were here, and

27
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were coming, observed Prince. How is

28
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: everything back on the farm. Oh there's not much change.

29
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: I was sorry to come away and leave my father

30
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: and mother. Well that's the way things happen in this world,

31
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: said Prince. We are colts for a little while, and

32
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: then some of us grow to be big horses or

33
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: grown up ponies and have to go away from our friends.

34
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: It's just the same with men and women, I've heard.

35
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: But you'll like it here. Is it nice? Asked Tinkle, Nice,

36
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: I should say it is. Of course. I miss being

37
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: out in the big green grassy meadow, but I get

38
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: plenty to eat here, and every day a man scratches

39
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: my back. Scratches your back, cried Tinkle. I don't believe

40
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: I should like that. Oh yes you will, said Prince.

41
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: You can't imagine how your back begins to itch an

42
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: ache when you've been in the harness all day, and

43
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: when a man uses a brush and comb on you,

44
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: brush and comb, cried tinkle. Come on, you're joking. I

45
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: know men and women, as well as boys and girls

46
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: use brushes and combs, but ponies or horses, Yes, we

47
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: really have our own brushes and combs, though they are

48
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: different from those which humans use, said Prince. The brush

49
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: is a big one, more like a broom, and the

50
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: comb is made of iron, and it's called a curry comb.

51
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: But they make your skin nice and clean and shiny.

52
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: You'll like them, maybe, said tinkle. Is anything else different

53
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: here from what it was on the farm, Oh, lots

54
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: and lots of things. You have to have shoes on

55
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: your feet. Oh now, I'm sure you're fooling me, cried tinkle.

56
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: And horse talk. Who ever heard of ponies having shoes? Well,

57
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: of course they're not leather shoes such as boys and

58
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: girls wear, went on Prince. They are made of iron,

59
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: and they are nailed on. Your hoofs nailed on, cried tinkle.

60
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: Oh doesn't that hurt not a bit when a good

61
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: blacksmith does it, explained Prince. You see, our hoofs are

62
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: just like the finger nails of boys and girls. It

63
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt to cut their finger nails if you don't

64
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: cut them down too close. And it doesn't hurt to

65
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: fasten the iron shoes on our hoofs with sharp nails.

66
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: Don't you remember how Dapple Gray used to tell about

67
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: his iron shoes making sparks on the paving stones in

68
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: the city when he ran and pulled that funny shiny

69
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: wagon with the chimney. Oh yes, answered Tinkle, I do remember. Well,

70
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: I suppose I'll have to be shod. Then, of course,

71
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: returned Prince. If you don't have the iron shoes on

72
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: your hoofs, then they would get sore when you ran

73
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: around on the stony streets. A city is not like

74
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: our green meadow. There are very few soft dirt roads here.

75
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: That is one thing I don't like about a city. Still,

76
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: there is always something going on here and lots to

77
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: see and do, and that makes up for it. I

78
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,239
Speaker 1: guess I wonder how I shall like it, thought Tinkle.

79
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: But first I must see what my new home is like.

80
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: He looked around the stable. It was a large one,

81
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: and there were a number of stalls in it. In

82
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: each one was a horse like prince munching his oats

83
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: or chewing hay. Tinkle saw that his stall was different

84
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: from the others. It was like a big box, and

85
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: in fact was called a box stall. Tinkle did not

86
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: have to be tied fast with a rope or a

87
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: strap to the manger, which is the place where the

88
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: feed for the ponies and horses is put. There was

89
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: a manger in Tinkle's stall, and he could walk up

90
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: to it whenever he felt hungry. Tinkle did not remember

91
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: much about the stable at home on the farm, as

92
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: he was hardly ever in it. Night and day. During

93
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: the warm summer, he stayed out in the green meadow,

94
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: sleeping near his mother under a tree. Tinkle was kicking

95
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: the straw round in his stall, making a nice soft

96
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: bed on which he could lie down and go to sleep.

97
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: When George, who had gone into the house to get

98
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: something to eat after driving with his father from the

99
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: stock farm, came running out to the stable again. How's

100
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: my pony, cried George, how's my tinkle? Tinkle made a

101
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: sort of laughing sound, whinnying, for he knew now George's voice,

102
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: and he liked the little boy. Here's something nice for

103
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: you cried George, Oh, what are you going to give him?

104
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: Asked Mabel, who had come home from school and who

105
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: had also hurried out to see Tinkle. I'm going to

106
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: give him some sugar, answered George. I took some lumps

107
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: from the bowl on the table. Mother said I might.

108
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: Are you going to let him eat them out of

109
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: your hand? Asked the little girl, of course, answered George.

110
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: Won't he bite you not? If you hold out your

111
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: hand flat like a board, said George. The man at

112
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: the farm showed me, put the sugar on the palm

113
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: of your hand, open it out flat, and a horse

114
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: can pick up a lump of sugar or an apple

115
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: without biting you a teeny weeny bit. Look. George opened

116
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: the top half of the door to the box stall

117
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: where Tinkle had his home, and held out on his

118
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: hand the lump of sugar. Tinkle came over, smelled of

119
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: the lump to make sure it was good for him

120
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: to eat, and then he gently took it in his

121
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: soft lip and began to chew the sweet stuff. Oh

122
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: isn't that cute? Cried Mabel. Let me feed Tinkle some sugar.

123
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: Her brother gave her a lump and she held it

124
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: out on her hand. Tinkle, having eaten the first lump,

125
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: which he liked very much, was quite ready for the second.

126
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: He took it from Mabel's hand as gently as he

127
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: had taken it from George's. Oh he is a lovely pony,

128
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: cried the little girl. How soon can we have a

129
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: ride on him? Well, you can ride him around the

130
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: yard now, said her father, who had come out to

131
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: the stable. But before he is driven around the city

132
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: streets he must be shod. I'll send him to a blacksmith.

133
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: But for a while now you and George may take

134
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: turns riding him. I'll have Patrick saddle him for you.

135
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: Patrick was mister Farley's coachman and knew a great deal

136
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: about horses and ponies. The pony cart, which mister Farley

137
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: had bought from the stockman, together with the harness and

138
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: saddle for Tinkle, had been put away. Patrick now brought

139
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: out the saddle, and, after putting a blanket on the pony,

140
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: fastened on the saddle with straps. Now, who's to ride first,

141
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: asked the coachman. Let Mabel said George politely, ladies always

142
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: go first. I'd rather you go first, so I can

143
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: see how you do it, said the little girl, and

144
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: George was glad, for he did want very much to

145
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: get on Tinkle's back again. He had ridden a little

146
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: at the stock farm, and oh it was such fun.

147
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: Patrick helped George into the saddle and then led Tinkle

148
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: about the yard, for mister Farley wanted to make sure

149
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: the pony would be safe for his little boy to ride.

150
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: I'll be very careful, said Tinkle to himself. George and

151
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: his sister are going to be kind to me. I'm

152
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: sure I'll not run away. Tinkle remembered what his father

153
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: and mother had told him about behaving when he was

154
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: in the harness or had a saddle on. And if

155
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm good, thought the pony, maybe I'll get more lumps

156
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: of sugar. Let him go now and see if I

157
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: can drive him, said George to Patrick. So the coachman

158
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: stepped aside, and George held the reins in his own hands.

159
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: Giddy up, Tinkle, cried George, and the pony knew this

160
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: meant to go a little faster, so he began to

161
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: trot on the soft green grass of the big yard

162
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: about the Farley home. Oh how nice, cried Mabel, clapping

163
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: her hands. Yes, It's lots of fun, laughed George. Go

164
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: on Tinkle. When George had ridden twice around the yard,

165
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 1: it was Mabel's turn. At first she was a little afraid,

166
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: but her father held her in the saddle, and she

167
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: could soon sit all alone and guide Tinkle, who did

168
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: not go as fast with her as he had gone

169
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: with George, for she might fall off. And I wouldn't

170
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: want that to happen, thought Tinkle. They might say it

171
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: was my fault and give me no more lumps of sugar.

172
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: While Mabel was riding, another boy and a girl came

173
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: in to the yard. They were Tommy and Nellie Hall,

174
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: who lived next door. Oh what a lovely pony, they cried.

175
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: Where did you get him? My father bought him for

176
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: Mabel and me, explained George. See how soft his hair is,

177
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: and he petted Tinkle. Tommy and Nellie also patted the

178
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: pony and called him all sorts of nice names. My

179
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to like it here, thought Tinkle.

180
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: I have four new good little friends. I will try

181
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: to make them love me. Every morning, as soon as

182
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: he had eaten his breakfast, George would run out to

183
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: the stable to see Tinkle. He would rub the soft,

184
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: velvety nose of his pet pony, or bring him a

185
00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: piece of bread or a lump of sugar. Sometimes Mabel

186
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: too would come out with her brother to look at

187
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: Tinkle before she went to school. And when we come

188
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: back from school, we'll have a nice ride on your back,

189
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: said George, waving his hand to Tinkle. A few days

190
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: after he had been brought to his new home, Tinkle

191
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: had been taken to a blacksmith's shop, and small iron

192
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: shoes had been fastened to the pony's hoofs. At first,

193
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: Tinkle was afraid he was going to be hurt, but

194
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: he thought of what Dapple Gray and the other horses

195
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: had told him, and made up his mind if ponies

196
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: have mines, that he would stand a little pain if

197
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: he had to, But he did not. The blacksmith was

198
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: kind and gentle, and though it felt a bit funny

199
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: at first when he lifted up one of Tinkle's legs,

200
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: the pony soon grew used to it. It felt strange too,

201
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: when the iron shoes were nailed on, and when Tinkle

202
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: stood on his four newly shod feet, he hardly knew

203
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: whether he could step out properly or not. But he

204
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: soon found that it was all right. I'm taller with

205
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: my new shoes on than in my bare hoofs, said

206
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: Tinkle to himself, and he was taller about an inch.

207
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: I guess the clatter and clang of his iron shoes

208
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: on the paving stones sounded like music to Tinkle, and

209
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: he soon found that it was better for him to

210
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: have iron shoes on than to run over the stones

211
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: in his hoofs, which would soon have worn down so

212
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: that his feet would have hurt. Now Tinkle is ready

213
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: to give us a ride in the little cart, cried George,

214
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: when his pony had come home from the blacksmith shop.

215
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: Take Patrick with you, so as to make sure you

216
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: know how to drive and how to handle Tinkle, said

217
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: Missus Farley, as George and Mabel made ready for their

218
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: first real drive outside the yard. This time, George and

219
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: Mabel got into the pony cart, George taking the reins,

220
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: and Mabel sat beside him. Patrick, the coachman, sat in

221
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: the back of the cart, ready to help if he

222
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: were needed. Gid Up called George, and he headed the

223
00:17:54,640 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: pony down the driveway. Gide Up, Tinkle and Tinkle trot along,

224
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: don't they look cute, exclaimed Missus Farley to her husband

225
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: as they watched the children from the dining room window.

226
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: I hope nothing happens to them. Oh, they'll be all right,

227
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: said her husband. Tinkle is a kind and gentle pony. Besides,

228
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: there is Patrick. He'll know just what to do if

229
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: anything should happen. Well, I hope nothing does, said Missus Farley.

230
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: There they've stopped. I wonder what for. The pony cart

231
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: had stopped at the driveway gates, and Patrick, with a

232
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: strange smile on his face, came walking back. What is it,

233
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: asked Missus Farley. Did anything happen and so soon? No,

234
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: replied the coachman. But George wants to know if you'd

235
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: like to have him bring anything from the store. He

236
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: says he'd like to buy something for you. Oh, and

237
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: Missus Farley laughed, Well, I don't know that I need

238
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: any groceries. But I suppose he wants to do an

239
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: errand in the new cart, So tell him he may

240
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: get a pound of loaf sugar. He and Mabel can

241
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: feed the lumps to Tinkle. Very well, I'll tell him,

242
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: And touching his hat, Patrick went back to George and

243
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: Mabel well, I guess everything is all right, thought Tinkle

244
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: to himself as he trotted along in front of the

245
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: pony cart, calling George, Mabel and Patrick. It's a good

246
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: deal easier than I thought, and my new iron shoes

247
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: feel fine. So he trotted along merrily, and George and

248
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: his sister, sitting in the pony cart, enjoyed their ride

249
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: very much. George drove Tinkle along the streets, turning him

250
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: now to the left by pulling on the left rein,

251
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: and again to the other side by pulling gently on

252
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: the right rain. Am I doing all right, Patrick, asked

253
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: the little boy. Fine, George answered the coachman. You drive

254
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: as well as anybody. I'll let you take a turn soon,

255
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: Mabel said George. Oh, I don't want you just yet,

256
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: replied the little girl. I want to watch and see

257
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: how you do it. Besides, I'd be afraid to drive

258
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: where there are so many horses and wagons, for they

259
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: were on the main street of the city. You'll soon

260
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: get so you can do as well, as George declared Patrick,

261
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: Tinkle is an easy pony to manage. As George and

262
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: Mabel traveled on in their pony cart, they met all

263
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: of their playmates, who waved their hands to the Farley children.

264
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: Oh what a nice pony card, cried the boys and girls.

265
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: I'll give you a ride someday, promised George. Few things

266
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: I can't and that is the end of this episode.

267
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: Good Night, sleep tight. One of the few things I

268
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: canju
