Of 7-league

boots

they fly through the air

like a hummingbird

well, I would

never say a word

if mine weren't

better than those...

give us two

of the dancingest pairs.

hey, tom, what do you think

of those dancing shoes?

Huh?

The dancing shoes.

Oh, I think they're wonderful.

I think so, too.

Let's get some.

But don't you

have to stay here?

Oh, we'll be back before

it's my turn to play.

They'll never miss me

for a few minutes.

Hold on, tom.

Let's go.

I'm sorry, Woody.

All sold out.

Not even a pair for a queen?

Oh, very funny, Woody.

Ha ha ha! Very funny.

Well, how about a pair

for this little fellow?

For tom? You know,

I believe I have.

See if these fit.

Ho ho!

Look at this.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Woody, that no-good loafer...

where is he?

Where is he?

Where's Woody?

I was crazy to give him a job

in the first place.

Woody!

Woody, wherever you are...

You're fired!

Better go after him, Woody.

Those are talented shoes

he's wearing.

They'll keep on dancing

as long as the music plays.

Tell them to hold the music!

Stop the music!

Stop!

Bandmaster!

What now?

They say to play faster!

Faster? Gladly.

1, 2!

Bandmaster!

Bandmaster!

Stop!

Tom!

Have you seen tom?

No, I haven't.

Stop playing!

Have you seen tom?

No.

My balloon's gone!

Tom!

Hey, Woody!

Look at me!

Don't let go, tom!

Hang on!

It's no good, Ivan.

It won't give at all.

Now...

Finding ourselves

in the situation

in which you have placed us,

it would seem a little

coordination is necessary.

We'll use this piece of wood.

This time, our effort

shall be unified.

Now, both together

when I count 3.

You understand 3?

Yes. It comes after 2.

Good boy. Right.

1, 2...

Ooh...

Argh!

Oh...

Hey, Ivan.

Shh.

Now, we must approach

this problem

from a highly scientific angle.

Sure, but...

but first, we must practice

unadulterated silence.

Understand?

Hey! What are you doing?

It's the little runt!

Yes.

Yes, yes.

Thank you.

You saved my life.

Think nothing of it,

young fellow.

Fate decreed I should be present

in your hour of need,

that is all.

Ivan, why can't we

use him to get...

why don't you shut up?

Oh...

Young fellow,

talking about hour of need,

it would seem you dropped in

just when my companion and I

could use your assistance in

the performance of a good deed.

Oh, I'll be glad to help.

I knew it.

I knew it the first time

I laid eyes on him, see.

That's what I like about this

charming young gentleman.

He's so cooperative.

Uh, what do I have to do?

Come over here.

Get the rope.

Now, Thomas, my boy,

listen to me.

Let me explain.

Now, the mayor of this village

is an absolute rascal, right?

Now, he has the money

belonging to the poor

orphans down there.

And he intends to keep it

all for himself.

Now, if you'll go

down this rope

and help us

to get the money out,

we'll see

that it is distributed

amongst those to whom

it rightfully belongs, eh?

I don't know. Maybe I should ask

my father or Woody.

Oh, no! No, there's no necessity

to bother them.

I'm sure they would approve.

In fact, I'm quite certain

your father would be

very proud of you.

Very proud.

Why, yes.

He would?

Yes, of course he would.

Come on. Let's pull the job...

I mean, let us do our best

to help the poor little orphans.

Shall we?

You see, Antony?

Everything comes

to him who waits.

He believed every word

of that silly story. Ha ha!

Hey, wait a minute!

How do I know that money's

really for the poor orphans?

Oh, uh...

Well, you have

my word of honor.

And you have mine.

Oh! Oh, well,

then it must be alright.

Whew.

What should I do now?

Shh.

Tie the rope to one

of those bags.

Uh, which one?

The biggest one!

Shh.

Then climb on,

and we'll pull you up.

It's going to work,

Tony. Ha ha!

Nobody will guess

how we did it.

It's ready.

Right, right.

Ha ha ha!

Ahh! Ha ha ha!

Aren't we going to

take any more?

Shh.

Not now. Maybe we'll

come back later.

Well, there's plenty more

down there.

Ivan.

Let's get rid of the kid now

so he won't open his mouth.

Are you out of your mind?

Leave this to me.

Now, listen, my dear fellow.

We're going to take you

for a nice little ride.

Ivan.

They are gone.

Come on.

Now, tom, this is where

we must part.

Now, that's the road

that takes you home.

Now, remember our little secret.

Don't tell anyone.

That's the only way

we can surprise

the dear little orphans.

Oh, by the way,

I'm sure

the dear little orphans

would like you to have this.

Run and get it!

Tooty dooty doo!

Tooty tooty too.

Bye!

Bye.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Help! Help!

And where have you

been all day?

Oh, all over the place.

I had a wonderful time.

I got some talented shoes,

and then I went dancing,

and I rode on a balloon.

Oh, I've just been helping

two friends do a good deed.

Until it got dark,

and you fell into the swamp.

Ah, I'd have got out anyway,

but thanks just the same.

What was that?

Hi, queenie.

Hello, Woody.

Do you realize I have searched

every inch of this forest

trying to find you?

Well, I'm sorry you got lost.

I got lost?

You got lost you mean.

I've been looking

for you all day.

The trouble with you, tom...

oh, Woody, why don't

you leave him alone?

Never mind, queenie.

The trouble with you, tom,

is you have no sense

of responsibility.

Responsibility?

What about your sense

of responsibility?

You were to keep your job

and take care of tom.

He only went away

to get you a pair of shoes.

You stay out of this!

Don't speak to him like that.

I think you'd better

take him straight home.

Oh! "Do this, do that."

I've had enough!

I'm tired of dragging

through this forest

doing things for other people.

If it's not him flying

around in balloons,
