00:00RUBINO
00:12Mr. Weatherspoon had recently been appointed Master of the King's Music, and he was learning to play the organ.
00:19RUBINO
00:49Pressure up!
01:19RUBINO
01:49RUBINO
02:01Mr. Weatherspoon was rather pleased with his crop of cabbages, and he was very cross when he caught Pongo, the pet dragon, munching.
02:11Pongo, you naughty boy, you leave those cabbages alone. I'm very cross with you. Very cross indeed.
02:22Weatherspoon?
02:24Morning.
02:26I have a royal command for you.
02:29Go ahead, Lord Chamberlain.
02:32It is the command of His Majesty, King Rufus of Rubovia, that Albert Obadiah Weatherspoon, Master of the King's Music, does perform on an organ this afternoon in the front room. Long live the King!
02:50Long live the King! Good.
02:53Goodbye, Weatherspoon.
02:57Goodbye, Lord Chamberlain.
03:00Now, Pongo, you behave yourself. I must get ready for my concert.
03:17Pongo returned to his nibbling, but he didn't know that he was being watched.
03:27Here, dragon. Come, come, dragon.
03:33A man, looking like a red Indian, but sounding very much like a Chinaman, held out his hand, which contained some seeds.
03:42Here, dragon. Yum, yum.
03:45Pongo sniffed at the seeds, then started to eat.
03:55Very good, dragon. Very nice eating.
04:04Bye-bye, dragon.
04:07Pongo, you're at the cabbages again.
04:13Don't let Mr. Weatherspoon catch you eating them, or there'll be trouble.
04:19Good morning, Your Majesty.
04:22Pongo, you're at the cabbages again.
04:28Don't let Mr. Weatherspoon catch you eating them, or there'll be trouble.
04:41Oh, good morning.
04:51No, no, I don't think so. Thank you very much. Not today.
05:01A dragon doctor? Really? How very interesting.
05:13Nonsense. Pongo's in excellent condition.
05:21Dragon doctor, you call me. Good day.
05:28Well, that was an odd character, thought the king. A red Indian with a Chinese accent called McGregor. Yes, odd. Very odd indeed.
05:51To be continued...
06:21As an encore, I will play it again.
06:26Puff up, puss.
06:46Start pumping, Rubina.
06:52Oh, that's very odd.
06:57I'm sorry, Your Majesties. I'll start again.
07:02But before Rubina could pump up enough air, Pongo gave a loud honk and went on honking.
07:13Why, Rubina?
07:15And went on honking.
07:45There's always Weatherspoon?
07:47No, we must have someone who knows what he's doing.
07:52Oh, Your Majesty.
07:56I know. I'll call in the dragon doctor.
08:00Who's that?
08:02A man called McGregor. Dresses like a red Indian. Has a Chinese accent.
08:10Sounds fishy to me.
08:13All right. Fetch him in. Straight away.
08:19Oh, poor Pongo.
08:26McGregor.
08:27Majesty.
08:29Ah, we want you. Very quickly. Our Pongo's ill.
08:35Very good.
08:37McGregor was paid his twenty crowns. Then he examined Pongo.
08:51Examination now complete.
08:54Him got bad attack honkitis.
08:58Honkitis? What's that?
09:00Forme of hiccups. Very prevalent among dragons.
09:05Him eat too much cabbage. Not enough turnip.
09:10Cabbage bad for dragons. Turnip good.
09:14But Pongo won't eat turnips. Only cabbages.
09:20Big problem. But me also magician.
09:24By magic we can make turnip look like cabbage.
09:29The dragon eat him up. The dragon cured.
09:33Service as magician. Twenty crowns extra.
09:37It's a monstrous price but we'll have to pay, Rufus.
09:43Me have magic box in garden.
09:47You be there in five minutes time.
09:50Very good.
09:52You know, I'm not so sure that I trust that man.
09:57He's a very odd character indeed.
10:04Meanwhile in his office, Mr. Weatherspoon was searching through his books.
10:09Perhaps this was the one.
10:12It would come under D.
10:15No. That wasn't the book. It must be another one.
10:23In the garden, McGregor stood beside a large box holding a turnip.
10:29It was a turnip.
10:31It was a turnip.
10:33It was a turnip.
10:35It was a turnip.
10:37It was a turnip.
10:39It was a turnip.
10:41It was a turnip.
10:42McGregor stood beside a large box holding a turnip in his hand.
10:47After parting with another twenty crowns, the king and queen watched anxiously.
10:53And Pongo honked.
10:56Here, honorable majesties, I have magic box very empty.
11:04And here I have humble turnip very good for dragon.
11:08I now place turnip in magic box and close door.
11:14Ambulou! Ambulé! Turnip change to cabbage! Olé!
11:22And humble turnip has changed into humble cabbage.
11:27Amazing!
11:29Now, although object closely resemble cabbage, him really turnip in disguise.
11:36Here, dragon. Come, dragon.
11:42Very nice cabbage.
11:48He's certainly eating it.
11:51Honkitis will be gone tomorrow.
11:54Suddenly, Mr. Weatherspoon arrived.
11:57I found it, your majesties.
12:00The book I've been looking for.
12:02I know why Pongo has hiccups.
12:05Someone gave him caraway seeds.
12:09McGregor hastily climbed the nearest wall.
12:12Very sorry. Must go now. Blessing business.
12:17And in a flash, he was gone.
12:20Caraway seeds, although harmless, should not be given to young dragons
12:26as it gives them hiccups, usually lasting about one day.
12:30But that McGregor man said it was because cabbages were bad for dragons.
12:35Stuff.
12:37And turnips were good for dragons.
12:40Absolute twaddle.
12:43And he changed a turnip into a cabbage in that box.
12:47Trickery.
12:49You mean, it's not a magic box?
12:53No. Secret door in the back.
12:55Quite simple to change a turnip for a cabbage.
12:59Oh. Then Pongo isn't ill at all.
13:03No, sir. He's as fit as a fiddle.
13:06And the hiccups have gone already.
13:09Rufus, we've been taken in by that rogue.
13:13And you paid him 40 crowns.
13:17Oh, you are a muggin, sir.
13:19That will be all, Wetherspoon.
13:22Fancy you being taken in like that.
13:25That's all, Wetherspoon.
13:27Good day, sir.
13:30I feel a little tired, Rufus.
13:33I'm going to bed to rest.
13:36I think I'll take it easy for a day or two.
13:41The king brightened for a few days.
13:45You are a muggin, sir.
13:47I'm going to bed to rest.
13:50I think I'll take it easy for a day or two.
13:55The king brightened for a few days.
13:59You are a muggin, sir.
14:02I'm going to bed to rest.
14:06You are a muggin, sir.
14:09I'm going to bed to rest.
