Transcript
Narrator: "Spike is a dragon who lives in a library in Ponyville. He's a cheeky little dragon, with two small feet, a short, stumpy tail, two short arms, and some green scales.

He's a fussy little dragon, too. Always bringing cows about, ready for the bigger animals to take on long journeys.

And when animals come in, he brings the cows back home so that the animals can go and rest.

Spike thinks no animal works as hard as he does. He loves playing tricks on them, including Chief Thunderhooves, the biggest and proudest buffalo of them all. Spike likes whistling rudely at him."

Spike: "Wake up, lazy bones! Why don't you work hard, like me?"

Narrator: "One day, after taking the cows on a journey, Chief Thunderhooves arrived back at the field, very tired. He was just going to sleep when Spike came up in his cheeky way.

Spike: "Wake up, lazy bones, do some hard work for a change!" You can't catch me!"

Narrator: "And off he ran, laughing.

Instead of going to sleep again, Chief Thunderhooves thought how he could get back at Spike.

One Morning, Spike wouldn't wake up. His driver and fireman couldn't make him start. His stamina was low and there was not enough strength. It was nearly time for the express. People were waiting, but the cows weren't ready.

At last, Spike started."

Spike: "Oh, dear, oh, dear!"

Narrator: "He yawned.

He fussed into the station, where Chief Thunderhooves was waiting."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Hurry up, you."

Narrator: "Said the Chief."

Spike: "Hurry yourself!"

Narrator: "Replied Spike."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves began making his plan."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Yes,"

Narrator: "Said the Chief,"

Chief Thunderhooves: "I will."

Narrator: "And almost before the cows stopped moving, Chief Thunderhooves reversed quickly and held the first one's hand."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Get in quickly, please."

Narrator: "He whistled.

Spike usually pushed behind the cows to help them start, but they always let go of him first. This time, the Chief started so quickly, they forgot to let go of Spike. The Cheif's chance had come."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Come on, come on,"

Narrator: "Puffed the Chief to the cows.

The line went faster and faster. Too fast for Spike. He wanted to stop, but he couldn't!"

Spike: "Hey, hey! Stop, stop!"

Chief Thunderhooves: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Narrator: "Laughed the Chief."

Cows: "You can't get away, you can't get away!"

Narrator: "Laughed the cows.

Poor Spike was going faster than he had ever gone before. He was out of breath, and his feet hurt him, but he had to go on."

Spike: "I shall never be the same again."

Narrator: "He thought sadly."

Spike: "My feet will be quite worn out."

Narrator: "At last, they stopped at a station.

Spike let go, and he felt very silly and exhausted.

Next, he sat on a turntable, thinking of everyone laughing at him.

And then he ran onto a path, out of the way."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Well, little Spike,"

Narrator: "Chuckled Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Now you know what hard work means, don't you?"

Narrator: "Poor Spike couldn't answer. He had no breath. He just puffed slowly away to rest, and had a long, long drink.

He went home very slowly, and was careful afterwards never to be cheeky to the Chief again."
