[Music] so [Music] this story is about 10 rather close relations of ours who seem to get into almost exactly the same kind of trouble we do all 10 of these jolly characters lived in the same neighborhood and were all good friends uh generally speaking each of them had a bicycle and each took care of his bicycle in exactly the way that he took care of himself [Music] one day they held a group think and decided to have a picnic in a little park just nine blocks away now that doesn't sound far but a lot can happen in nine blocks right well sound off out there i said right right so they all ran home and made themselves sandwiches [Music] i know that doesn't sound too likely but of course they're not quite human then they hurried back all ready to go now one of the ten was a rather hungry type his name was slim jim mcguckney and his picnic lunch was what you might call a um portable banquet right right slim knew that his big sack would be hard to handle so he asked orville slump if he'd carry it for him ortho had a basket on the rear of his bike he was a good sort and he answered okay some of the others noticed this and asked him if he'd carry theirs too orville answered graciously well i guess so and naturally everybody else did the same until orville's rear basket looked like a chuck wagon [Music] at last they were ready to go and at a given signal they went [Music] now this is rudy toot jasperson he had the newest bike in the bunch and he was as proud of it as he could be he made the point to get in the lead and there he intended to stay it would seem that rudy toot was a slam bang go-getter headed for big things in life right right but when you have to be first all the time there are a few things you find you don't have time for such things as making hand signals oh he knew very well that bike riders are supposed to signal just like auto drivers and down for slow or stop hand up for right turn and straight out for left turn but pretty soon he began to feel silly making so many signals to stay out in front so he skipped one to rest his poor old tired arm just one signal once at this point rudy two jasperson left the party [Music] this charming little thing was actually christened tinker bell mcdillingfitti she's a sweet and lovely girl but she has a rather poor memory sometimes she forgets to brush her teeth sometimes she leaves homework at home and sometimes she forgets to look at traffic signals now she knows that she should she knows that she should ride just like auto drivers drive but she's so busy being happy all the time that her little thoughts tend to wander and oh dear dear they're wandering again here she goes exit tinker bell like dylan city she forgot now and then now let me introduce philip flugel he's a star athlete the president of his class an honor student and he has the handsomest profile in school just look at it will you now floog as his friends call him has one little flaw in his character he is very easily bored right now he's asking himself why everyone has to go up this side of the street it's so samey so proving that even a class president can make mistakes he decided to ride against traffic oh he knows that auto drivers never do this and that he should follow the very same traffic rules but he's in the mood to do something different anyway there are no policemen around to see him [Music] philip flugel is no longer bored you've probably wondered about this fellow on foot well his name is mosby pomegranate he is splendid in dramatics but he works so hard memorizing his lines that he doesn't get around to a lot of other things he never made it down to register his bike and get a license for it he knows very well that a license makes it easy to find out who he is if he's in an accident and makes the bike easy to trace if it's lost or stolen that's his trouble last week while he was rehearsing the lead in king kong someone rode off with his bike he went to the police but of course they couldn't help him since it had no license or registration he stomped out of the police station angrily and he's been stomping ever since farewell mosby pomegranate victim of fallen arches [Music] if you look carefully you'll see trigby phipps he's the smaller one in eclipse trying to make that bike go this passenger is an old friend of ours slim jim mcduffney slim jim spike recently collapsed from the effects of his diet and trigly being a nice little fellow agreed to ride him now he knows that no water driver would drive with a passenger in his lap he also knows that you can't see a head very well with someone on the handlebars and that you can't control the bike well and that you can't make signals either furthermore it is tiring right right [Music] [Applause] [Music] so long fellas there seems to be a flaw in the body system meet nelly swibach she's as nice as can be on foot but when she gets on that bike sweet nelly becomes terribly impatient with other people's driving although there are only a few left now she's having trouble sharing the street with them so melvin is about to make a decision she'd never make if she weren't angry there she goes there she goes she knows that riding on the sidewalk isn't allowed in her city and many others and that even where it is pedestrians always have the right away but nell bits upset and she'd like to know just one good reason why she shouldn't take over the sidewalk all to [Music] herself got her one good reason [Music] those noises you hear come from the transportation of filp at bagel philbert hates his old bike he refuses to take care of it because his folks will probably give him a new one for his birthday he can't see any reason for taking care of a heap of junk even if he made it that way himself he will in a moment though you see he doesn't know it but he'll find out that there's not a shred of a break left [Applause] now filbert would be the first to agree that if it's worth riding it's worth taking care of right right quickly meet stanislaw higginbotham while you can he's a nice boy but he won't be with us long you are now looking straight at stanislaw higginbottom he has neither lights nor reflectors dennis law just wasn't quite bright enough [Music] all the which leaves you'll get fat all right and here's why he ended up with all these groceries that he doesn't really want this was rudy toot jasperson maybe you remember why he didn't make the picnic he didn't signal just once do you recall tinker bell mcdilling city she forgot to watch the signals just once and good old phil flugel he wrote up the wrong side of the street once mosby pomegranate was the walking one he didn't get around to registering his bike and getting a license it would have taken him only a few minutes the small one was triggy phipps and his passenger was flim jim mcguckney they rode double into trouble who could forget melbourne's flyback she wanted to know one good reason why the sidewalks didn't belong to her then there was filbert bagel he didn't take care of his brakes so they didn't take care of him and good old stanislaw hidden bottom no lights no reflector no stanislaw so that's why all the slump is picnicking alone today he watched the signals he obeyed traffic signs he made hand signals he rode along he stayed on the right side of the street got a license rode just like order drivers drive and kept the brakes and all in good condition and he got fat of course it was very lonely but not as lonely as this but then as anyone can plainly see he wasn't a monkey right now that sounds as if you really mean it right you
