minute

ten

level four

[Music]

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]

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

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

any other way of bringing her back

ladybird's binding a bit that's all

wishing siblings come home

[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]

oh connie i tried to see you

uncle says it would be all right he

suddenly decided to build more stalls

out of the

blue i fell into a dust spin

that's terribly sweet

only if they have the only room

shouldn't ladybird have it

she needs it and i'll never get to

boarding school now so i can look after

magic myself

kelly

lady bird's dead

oh no when yesterday not yesterday i fed

her

i crept over last night and gave her

some magic soaps

last night oh yes when it was dark

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]
