touch my factory stuff so I've uh opened
a shop in talk
with yes Augustus
Plum signed him this morning bread cakes
oh and uh cream bones I gathery has a
special
customer now now what about this
Lockwood fell better ring the police
H doubt whether there's any evidence of
course there is a dozen ponies for a
start who dumped them who put them on
your
land the truck then no number plates no
license probably no engine or chassis
numbers either you mean there's nothing
to connect Lockwood with the ponies
nothing
[Music]
there is proof
Dora right
here the link between Lockwood and the
ponies you can put him in prison with
this what is
it I forgot to give it to you
it's I opened it by
mistake some
[Music]
chip Dear Dora I'm at my wit's end
something's got into him and I'm scared
stiff I don't think I can help about the
ponies dad did warn us anyhow keep away
and I'll do what I can but something
tells me he's going to dump them I
wanted to be proud of him as I can't be
I'm going
away I'll remember a very dear person
whom I believe I love
chip you read
it yes
why didn't you give it to
me don't
know that's enough is it to put Lockwood
in
prison
probably you're going to
try I never had a letter before someone
saying he loved
me it spoils it in the same
letter lies
the fate of a
[Music]
man
no he can defend
himself they
can't tell
him tell him we've got
it and if he so much as lays one finger
on a horse again
we'll use
it
wind fa it's when when it took the the
terrible of the Thunder grow grow the
lightning tree it's never too late for
you and me grow grow the lightning tree
never get too
easily down in the when the window
screen I whisper in the lightning tree
dreams come true when you want them to
if you want them to then it's up to you
grow grow the lightning tree never give
too easily lightning treee
