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
