[Music]

it was a windy day in the village of

mcgilly cuddy and eddie stoke was busy

preparing for his delivery rounds

a pound of nails for finished dare

birthday cards for ross at the

lighthouse and a special parcel for gail

good morning

edward stone's emporium edward speaking

hi there eddie this is portland bill i'm

afraid the sea is too rough for you to

make a delivery to the lighthouse today

i'll pick it up tomorrow if the

weather's any better oh dear what a

shame i have a lot of birthday mail for

ross

um oh well see you tomorrow bill

the wind was still strong enough to blow

the anchors off a sailor's buttons

but eddie was determined to make his

deliveries

[Music]

[Music]

he finally made it to finisteer's craft

i left it on the wall

[Music]

but on his way back of course

the wind was behind him

and off he spared like a fish after the

bait

[Music]

i've got a special parcel for you

how great

my case well come on then let's try it

out this is perfect kite flying weather

it's certainly

oh no not again

come back

[Music]

let it go now

oh

[Music]

now it turns out that miss shannon was

something of an expert at kite flying

and seeing her putting that kite through

its paces gave eddie a good idea

oh it is very very lovely lovely that's

right bill i said air mail

now you just make sure that ross is

waiting in the right place

oh okay

but it looks as though it'll cost you a

new kite for gail

[Music]

buy you a new one

oh come with me to the rolling sea while

the weather's calm and still

and we'll have some fun and laughter
