Transcript
Narrator: "It was winter in TV Land. Happy puffed nervously along the path. His hat had never been the same since his accident with some monkeys. Now the biting wind was trying to blow it away."

Happy: "My hat feels wobbly."

Narrator: "He complained."

Happy: "I wish manage would hurry up with my new one. He says it would be something special."

Bashful, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey and Doc: "You and your special hat."

Narrator: "Laughed the other dwarfs. They were fond of Happy, but his special hat had become quite a joke.

The winter wind grew worst. The rain came too, turning hillside streams into torrents, which threatened to wash the path away.

Sleepy, the sleepy dwarf, worked hard carrying workmen up and down the path. They were removing branches and leaves so water could flow away.

But one morning, Sleepy's driver brought bad news."

Sleepy's Driver: "There's been a washout near the tunnel. The road has been swept away. We must repair the damage immediately."

Narrator: "The important work took longer than expected. As days went by, the weather changed. It became frosty and much colder."

The workmen finished at last. Happy was most careful as he took the morning mermaids over the mended bit of road.

Soon, they approached the tunnel. It was short and curved. So his driver could not see right through it. Happy was heading for trouble."

Happy's Driver: "There's something hanging from the roof."

Narrator: "Shouted his driver. Happy came out of the tunnel a different looking dwarf. He no longer had his hat."

Guard: "Here's what hit you, Happy."

Narrator: "Called the guard. And he produced a thick, cold icicle. They set off again, but without his hat, the journey was very difficult.

Then, his fireman saw an old box lying beside the road."

Happy's Fireman: "We'll use that instead of your hat. At least, it'll keep your head warm."

Narrator: "Happy finished his journey with the box wired to his body.

The other dwarf laughed, and Grumpy sang a song about it."

Grumpy: "Happy said again and again, his new hat will put ours to shame. Went into a tunnel and lost his old hat. Now his famous new hat's a box!"

Narrator: "The teasing continued until at last the day came when his new hat arrived.

Mickey Mouse proudly presented it."

Happy: "Oh dear!"

Narrator: "Exclaimed Happy."

Happy: "Someone's squashed it."

Narrator: "Mickey laughed."

Mickey Mouse: "Don't worry, Happy. This hat is something special indeed. You'll soon see."

Narrator: "Happy's new hat was made of special wool, which made his head much warmer."

Happy: "I feel stronger than ever before!"

Narrator: "He hummed. Even Grumpy was impressed."

Grumpy: "I can't understand it. Happy just seems to stroll along the path. He makes work look so easy."

Narrator: "The others don't laugh at Happy's hat now. They wished they had one like it."
