Transcript
Narrator: "It was wintertime in Ponyville. It had snowed all night. The trees were white. The cottages were white and even Hoity Toity's land was white. There was not an animal in sight."

At the library, the animals looked out. Pipsqueak was very excited."

Pipsqueak: "It snowed!"

Narrator: "Spike didn't like the snow."

Spike: "Bother! I'll have to wear my heavy boots."

Big Macintosh: "I don't like snow. You can get stuck in it."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Stuff and nonsense! Snow is soft but I am strong! It won't bother me!"

Narrator: "Then, Hoity Toity arrived."

Hoity Toity: "Chief Thunderhooves, you must take some changelings to the harbor. They are needed for an important coal delivery. You are a strong animal, but snow is slippery. Take the long way around."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Yes, sir!"

Hoity Toity: "Spike, you must deliver bundles of firewood to the stations."

Spike: "Yes, sir!"

Narrator: "And then, Hoity Toity left.

Spike puffed with pride."

Spike: "That's a very special job."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Not as important as mine! I shall go straight to the harbor, I shall run over every hill I come to!"

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves boasted proudly."

Twilight Sparkle: "Take the long way around! That means Chief Thunderhooves, don't go up any hills!"

Chief Thunderhooves: "Hills are not too steep for me! I am strong! I am the best!"

Narrator: "And Chief Thunderhooves left the library.

Chief Thunderhooves huffed and he puffed. His breath was gray against the snowy white countryside. Soon, Chief Thunderhooves came to a hill."

Chief Thunderhooves: "This hill isn't too steep for me! I shall run over it."

Narrator: "So Chief Thunderhooves thundered up the hill."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I am special, I am the best!"

Narrator: "And he ran right to the top."

Chief Thunderhooves: "That was easy!"

Narrator: "But Chief Thunderhooves found going down the other side wasn't so easy. The ground was icy. Chief Thunderhooves' hooves slipped and slid. He went faster and faster."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Ferrising hooves!"

Narrator: "Prince Blueblood was going up the hill. The Duke and Duchess were following. They were having tea."

Prince Blueblood: "Slow down, Chief Thunderhooves!"

Narrator: "But Chief Thunderhooves couldn't slow down. Slushy snow sprayed from his hooves. Prince Blueblood was covered from head to hoof."

Prince Blueblood: "Twist my tail! I'm as dirty as a ditch!"

Narrator: "But Chief Thunderhooves didn't hear, as he ran across the icy path.

Chief Thunderhooves came to another hill. It was even bigger."

Chief Thunderhooves: "This hill isn't too steep for me! I shall run over it."

Narrator: "So, Chief Thunderhooves thundered up the hill."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I am special, I am the best!"

Narrator: "But the paths were icy. The snow was deep, and the hill was very, very steep. Chief Thunderhooves ran slower and slower."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Bust my body! This... is... hard... work!"

Narrator: "Step by step, Chief Thunderhooves huffed and puffed to the top of the hill. He felt very pleased."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I am the strongest, I am the best!"

Narrator: "But at the bottom of the hill, there was deep, deep snow! The snow flew up, all over Chief Thunderhooves' face!"

Chief Thunderhooves: "Bubbling berries! I can't see!"

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves shook off the main track and into a siding, straight into the back of a pile of slate!

Chief Thunderhooves was covered in thick, grey dust."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Oh, the indignity! At least I can see now."

Narrator: "And Chief Thunderhooves huffed on towards the harbor. The snow was deeper, and deeper, and deeper! Chief Thunderhooves could hardly get through it."

Chief Thunderhooves: "This is hard work!"

Narrator: "Now, Chief Thunderhooves was at the bottom of Chief Thunderhooves' hill. Chief Thunderhooves' hill was the biggest of all, and it was covered in thick, thick snow."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Chief Thunderhooves' hill isn't too steep for me! I shall run over it! I am strong! I am the best!"

Narrator: "But Chief Thunderhooves didn't feel so strong anymore, and he didn't feel the best. Chief Thunderhooves puffed against the snow."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Snow is soft, and I am strong. It won't bother me!"

Narrator: "But the snow wasn't soft. It had become a giant snowball. It grew bigger, and bigger. Chief Thunderhooves started to huff slower, and slower. He thought his back was going to burst!"

Chief Thunderhooves: "Oh, my!"

Narrator: "Just then, Spike came up behind Chief Thunderhooves.

Spike: "Thank you for clearing the paths, Chief Thunderhooves. Now I can deliver the firewood faster!"

Narrator: "Then there was trouble. The giant snowball was too big, and too heavy. It started to push Chief Thunderhooves back down the hill."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Look out, Spike!"

Spike: "Fire and scales!"

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves and his changelings rolled back faster, and faster! Spike backed up faster, and faster! He slipped into a siding and Chief Thunderhooves rolled round the bend."

Chief Thunderhooves: "The giant snowball will surely miss us now!"

Narrator: "But Chief Thunderhooves was wrong. The giant snowball rolled down the hill and crashed and bashed into Spike!"

Spike: "Help!"

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves saw Spike and his pile of firewood lifted high in the air and knocked out! Now, it was Spike who looked like a giant snowball. Luckily, no one was hurt. Chief Thunderhooves felt terrible."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'm not strong, and I'm not the best. It's a disaster!"

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves walked slowly to Spike."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'm sorry, Spike. I'll try my best to help you."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves heaved and hauled. He pushed and puffed, but the snow was too heavy. The snow was too thick. Chief Thunderhooves could not chuff through it to help his friend."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'm not strong enough, Spike. I'll find Bulk Biceps. He's stronger than me!"

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves found Bulk Biceps at the harbor."

Bulk Biceps: "Hello, Spike. I'll have you out of there in no time!"

Narrator: "Soon, Spike was no longer a snowball. He was a bright purple dragon again!"

Spike: "Thank you Bulk Biceps! Now I must deliver my firewood. I'm very late. The stationmasters will be waiting, and they'll be very cold!"

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'll help you, Spike!"

Spike: "What about your very important job?"

Chief Thunderhooves: "I delivered my changelings to the harbor. Now I can help you with your very important job."

Narrator: "Spike was very happy to have his friend's help."

Spike: "Thank you, Chief Thunderhooves."

Narrator: "Spike and Chief Thunderhooves ran cheerfully through the snow and when they came to a hill, they always went around it. Together, Spike and Chief Thunderhooves delivered the firewood to all the stations. The stationmasters were very pleased to see them. At last, Chief Thunderhooves and Spike puffed home to the library. They were tired, but they were happy to have been really useful. Chief Thunderhooves announced grandly..."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I have something very important to say! No animal is special and every animal is best!"

Narrator: "Spike and his friends whistled. They all agreed with Chief Thunderhooves."
