how many more horses do you want for
heaven's sake it's not a case of wanting
uncle
read more than you can cope with as it
is
but if a horse needs help what do we do
turn it away
or do we
yes
yes we do uncold but uncle
but uncle
hello stranger haven't seen you for ages
how are you kelly
you may find an inch or two in the yard
but don't try the stables we're full to
the ceiling hello cali hello dora it's a
long time wish you hadn't moved it was
for the best
don't you think
but how do you mean
you know steve and me
he got over it all right then did he
over what while fancying me italy you
know he did
that's why i didn't stop mommy from
moving
i didn't want to get in the way
you know i think you have to make
sacrifices for friends
he is smashing isn't he
you went away from me
i do like you torah i didn't want
anything to
you
kelly that was sweet of you
everything's all right then
yes
fine good
hello
oh
hello folly aren't you big
what did the colonel mean you're up to
the ceiling oh he's on about his having
too many horses
dora
i was going to ask a favor one good turn
and all that course
what is it
on mondays the summer exams in school
and do you know what
if i pass i go to boarding school
boarding school but that's what i said
to mummy who'd look after magic while
i'm away
mummy says i'll have to get rid of him
suppose there's no point asking the
colonel
well you heard what he said
look why don't we wait and see if you
pass i mean you might fail
if it means losing magic i will
i'll give all the wrong answers and muck
up the whole exam will you ask him
please
[Music]
i'll try
thanks dora i knew you would i'll come
back later and see what he says
[Music]
well
nice to see you again hello
see pretended you didn't know me
wasn't he wonderful
only so he wouldn't hurt you
you are lucky dora i think he's smashing
[Music]
how sweet
not wanting to hurt me
pretending not to remember kelly's name
callie of course it is
[Music]
do you think she noticed
noticed
she loved it
[Music]
once over all door and no this is a rest
home for sick retired horses
it is not a dumping ground for every
horse that you happen to say good
morning to
magic is perfectly fit and her mother's
hardly likely to sell him to someone who
wouldn't look after him
there's no reason whatsoever why magic
should occupy stable space which heaven
knows we haven't got it's out of the
question let's hear no more of it
hey i've got another idea come and see
what you think
the people at the back where we live
used to have a horse their daughters a
few months ago she got married i think
she took her horse with her anyway it's
certainly not there anymore
well if they like horses
and mr one they had perhaps they'd look
after mine for me do you think but no
well shall we ask there's no harm in
asking okay
well that's it by the garage sure
[Music]
where's the stables well they kept it in
the shed over there
[Music]
don't like the look of that oh it'll be
all right come and see kelly is awful
it'll be drafty and damp you can keep a
horse in there
they used to
jolly unhealthy
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]

i wondered if i could have a look at it
vera who is it it's someone about the
horse sybils

what do you
want you've got a horse i gather it's
not very well
not well

could i just have a look at it please
are you an official
police down all
no and you have a warrant
certificate
identification nope then mind your own
business
now look
you don't understand
if the police did find out about it
that's a punishable offense
i don't know what you're talking about
it'll be all right
you leave it to me
what did you mean the police
what's an offense arnold
is ladybug all right they said she
wasn't well gosh she's all right
but you told sybil she was dying

any other way of bringing her back
ladybird's binding a bit that's all
wishing siblings come home
same as us
[Music]
all the worries in the world eh you made
me jump
sorry
what's to say
worry shared or worries halved
no i don't believe in it either
why not try it
it's about a horse
well i'm not surprised about that
well it's been cooped up in a drafty
shed for three months and i don't think
it's had any exercise not even been out
and it can't lie down and i'm sure they
don't feed it properly and
it's covered in saws
and it hasn't been mucked out
you should see it
i would never leave
anyone
and i don't know what to do
and you'll only say it's got to be put
out of its misery but it's got to have
someone to love it and i do want to
they won't even let steve look at
it's it
without anyone
[Music]

steve
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
you lousy free
you told us that horse was dead
why
so you could go on torment to get your
face
[Music]
fleas
[Music]
all right
you're worse than the bloke i went to
prison for
he lost his timber
he was whipping a horse dora
and i lost mine
you didn't even do that
you're just evil go on get out
come in there threatening me
you're not worth going to prison for
we're gonna take your horse
you think you know it all don't you
well you don't
you listen to me
my partner
douglas were his name
he used to run this place with me
you know what he did
he went off with my daughter
oh she went willingly enough
my lady bird's eyes
now you think wouldn't you
if she didn't give tops for her mother
and me
at least she'd care something about that
horse
she's never been to see us
she's never even written
what does she
care
but it's cruel what do you know about
cruelty
he was my wife
she's a school teacher
she loves kids
she spends her days with them
and yet her own
not just any browser on
does this do her
[Music]
[Music]
i'll fish my daughter back the only way
i know
[Music]
good ladybird
[Music]
we still should have brought her back
steve think of ladybird she's suffering
imagine how she feels alone no one
caring
he saw that mandora
he's practically off his top
push him anymore and
i gotta leave him alone
let him work it out his own way
but the horse
think about people for once in your life
nothing's ever straight up and down
there are two sides
they're people sick with worry
we want to walk in and tinker with a bit
that bothers us
there's a way in between
it's not my way
but it's not yours either
we'll find it
we're on the same side we believe in the
same things
it's just how we do it
[Music]
let's share the problem eh
find a
[Music]
way i'm so glad you made it up i
couldn't bear it you two quarreling
i must go english exam tomorrow have to
write an essay on our best friend
i'm going to write about steve
doesn't see much point really after what
i did in history but i'll try because
it's about steve see
bye
and then he said problems are in the
hearts of people and that's where the
answers lie too
and my best friend and my second best
friend stop worrying
because their hearts
be the same
and they
both knew
what he said was true
the man looked very weird in the garage
and afterwards my best friend said he
would have hit him
and he
only he learnt
when he was young that
violence and cruelty never make things
better and only
only understanding and forgiveness does
do to take off half a mark for that
is this true arnold
is ladybird really as english she says
and you told them she was dead
they would have reported me
oh vera
i want symbol to come home
i'll do anything
will you
you know i will
does it take a child to tell your
forgiveness arnold
she won't come home and without a
husband why should she
until you forgive douglas nothing no
letters no cruelty to our horse nothing
will bring her back
you must forgive douglas
invite them both sugar
[Music]
kelly what happened
i don't know he just brought around said
he was sorry and would i phone the
colonel he wouldn't how did a blue just
send it back like that well he did out
of the blue
steve i wrote
i wrote a smashing essay about you today
oh yeah
it was beautiful i wish you could see it
it seemed such a shame just a teacher
reading it doesn't get you anywhere does
it why
where do you want to go no steve
what what did i say
you should be careful
things happen around here without
anybody saying anything
don't they
out of the blue
[Music]
when the wind
dreams come true when you want them to
if you want them to then it's up to you
grow grow the life and change
[Music]
