- 0:16so Noddy was going to take the farmer's hens to the market in his car.
- 0:22As Noddy drove into the farmyard, one of the hens flew,
- 0:29up onto Noddy's car bonnet. I can't see where I'm going, cried Noddy.
- 0:36Get off, you silly hen.
- 0:39The little car swerved as Noddy struggled to see and drove right into the duck pond. Um.
- 0:50Noddy tried to reverse his car out the pond, but his wheels were stuck in the
- 0:57mud and it wouldn't budge.
- 1:00Just then, he heard a jingling sound of a very loud bell.
- 1:07He turned round and saw Mr Sparks driving down the lane in his new fire engine.
- 1:16Mr Sparks, cried Noddy Can you help me?
- 1:20My poor car is stuck in the pond And I can't think how to get it out I got a
- 1:25towing rope, said Mr Sparks.
- 1:29The fire engine will put it pull it free in no time,
- 1:35mr sparks and noddy carefully attached the tow rope to noddy's little car um and,
- 1:46the fire engine pulled very hard little by little noddy's car came out of the duck pond.

- 2:18said sternly and don't duck-cluck too much or you'll put me off my driving.
- 2:27Cluck-cluck, went the hens. Here's a sixpence for the fare, said the farmer.
- 2:35If they lay any eggs on the way, you can have them.
- 2:41Thank you, Mr. Straw, said Noddy, and he set off.
- 2:46On the way to the market Noddy drove past a fire engine again Lots of toys gathered
- 2:55round Admiring it, Noddy stopped to look at it again.
- 3:01"'Isn't it a wonderful fire engine?'.
- 3:05He said. "'Mr. Sparks rescued my car from the pond this morning.' "'You're lucky,' said Clockwork Mouse.
- 3:16"'I'd love to see it in action.' "'I must deliver Mr. Straw's hens now,' said
- 3:24Noddy, and he turned back to his car.
- 3:27"'Oh, no!' he cried. Where have they gone?
- 3:31There wasn't a single hen left in his car.
- 3:35There they go, said Mr.
- 3:39Wobbly Man, pointing down at the street.
- 3:45Noddy chased after the hens, but they just looked and flew up to the roof of the police station.
- 3:53You silly hens, cried Nuddy. Why are you flapped up there? I'll never get you
- 3:58to the market now. Come down.
- 4:02Now, time for another rescue, cried Mr Sparks. I shall try out my new ladder.
- 4:10And Mr Sparks rescued every single hen. Thank you so much, said Nuddy.
- 4:16Not at all, said Mr Sparks. It was an excellent chance to try out this ladder.
- 4:23Toys. All the toys cheered as Mr. Sparks parked the fire engine in front of
- 4:30his garage modestly once again.
- 4:35What a fine rescue Mr. Sparks, said Jumbo. Thank you, replied Mr. Sparks modestly.
- 4:43I enjoyed myself.
- 4:46Noddy drew.
- 4:49Up in his little car having safely delivered all the hens to the market.
- 4:55I'm sorry I'd been such a nuisance today, Mr. Sparks said Noddy.
- 5:01It wasn't your fault, said Mr. Sparks kindly. It was those silly ends.
- 5:08Just then, Mr. Jumbo noticed something strange. I say, Noddy, he said.
- 5:16Did you know that you had eleven eggs in the back of your car?
- 5:23Eleven eggs, cried Noddy.
- 5:27Those eggs must have laid them on the way from the farm.
- 5:34Eleven eggs for tea! Don't eat them all at once, said Clockwork Mouse.
- 5:41Or you'll start clucking, will I?
