Transcript
Narrator: "Mario is a Plumber who lives in a big house on TV Land. He's a cheeky little plumber with two blue eyes, a red hat, a pair of white gloves and a pair of brown boots.

He's a fussy little plumber, too, always taking wolves about ready for the bigger TV Characters to take on long journeys.

And when TV characters come in, he brings the wolves back home so that the bigger TV characters can go and rest.

Mario thinks no TV character works as hard as he does. He loves playing tricks on them, including Donkey Kong, the biggest and proudest character of them all.

Mario likes whistling rudely at him."

Mario: "Wake up, Lazy Bones, why don't you work hard, like me?"

Narrator: "One day, after taking some wolves on a Journey, Donkey Kong arrived back at the sidings, very tired. He was just going to sleep when Mario came up in his cheeky way."

Mario: "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, Donkey Kong thought how he could get back at Mario.

One morning, Mario 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 wolves weren't ready.

At last, Mario started."

Mario: "Oh dear, oh dear!"

Narrator: "He yawned.

He fussed into the station where Donkey Kong was waiting."

Donkey Kong: "Hurry up, you."

Narrator: "Said Donkey Kong."

Mario: "Hurry yourself!"

Narrator: "Replied Mario.

Donkey Kong Began Making his plan."

Donkey Kong: "Yes."

Narrator: "Said Donkey Kong."

Donkey Kong: "I will."

Narrator: "And almost before the wolves stopped moving, Donkey Kong reversed quickly and held the first wolf's paw."

Donkey Kong: "Get in quickly, please."

Narrator: "He whistled.

Mario usually pushed behind the wolves to help them start, but he was always let go off first. This time, Donkey Kong started so quickly, the forgot to let go off Mario. Donkey Kong's chance had come.

Donkey Kong: "Come on, come on!"

Narrator: "Puffed Donkey Kong to the Wolves.

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

Mario: "Peep, peep, stop, stop!"

Donkey Kong: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Narrator: "Laughed Donkey Kong."

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

Narrator: "Laughed the Wolves.

Poor Mario 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."

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

Narrator: "He thought sadly."

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

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

Mario 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 siding, out of the way."

Donkey Kong: "Well, little Mario."

Narrator: "Chuckled Donkey Kong."

Donkey Kong: "Now you know what hard work means, don't you?"

Narrator: "Poor Mario 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 Donkey Kong again."
