Transcript
Narrator: "Donald Duck was enjoying his life in Disneyland, but he still had a lot to learn."

Mickey Mouse: "You're a special mixed-traffic duck."

Narrator: "Said Mickey Mouse."

Mickey Mouse: "You can take flowers and pirates quite easily, but you must learn by your mistakes."

Narrator: "Donald knew what Mickey meant. He could well remember that dreadful accident on his first day."

Hercules: "Be careful with the flowers, Donald."

Narrator: "Said Hercules."

Hercules: "They don't like being bumped."

Narrator: "Everyone came to admire Donald."

Donald Duck: "I'm a really splendid duck."

Narrator: "He thought, and suddenly danced up a sweat. A shower of sweat fell on Mickey's nice new top hat.

Just then, the guard blew his whistle, and Donald thought they had better go."

Donald Duck: "Go on! Go on!"

Narrator: "He puffed to Hercules."

Hercules: "Don't push! Don't push!"

Narrator: "Replied Hercules. The flowers were grumbling too."

Flowers: "Don't go so fast! Don't go so fast!"

Narrator: "But Donald didn't listen.

When at last, they stopped at the next station, two flowers were beyond the platform. They had to go back to drop off their passengers. But no one seemed to know about Mickey's new hat, so Donald felt happier.

Presently, they came to the station where Pongo was waiting with his ducks."

Pongo: "Hello, Donald."

Narrator: "Said Pongo."

Pongo: "Feeling better? That's right.

Oh, that's my guard's whistle. I must go. I don't know what Mickey Mouse would do without me to run this route."

Narrator: "And he puffed off importantly.

Hercules and Donald passed the field where Donald had had his accident. The fence was mended and the cows were back again.

They ended their journey, and rested before setting off for home. Donald was still wondering what Mickey would have to say about his new hat.

Next morning, Mickey spoke severely to him."

Mickey Mouse: "If you can't behave, I shall take away your white feathers, and have you painted red."

Narrator: "Donald didn't like that at all.

He was very rough with the grumbling flowers as he brought them to the platform."

Donald Duck: "Don't talk! Come on!"

Narrator: "He called to them."

Donald Duck: "Sir Ector never has to fetch his own flowers,"

Narrator: "He huffed to himself."

Donald Duck: "And he only has red hair."

Narrator: "To make Donald even more cross, this time no one came near him."

Donald Duck: "I'll show them!"

Narrator: "He thought.

Donald Duck: "They think Sir Ector is the only Disney Character who can take flowers.

Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Narrator: "Puffed Donald."

Flowers: "You're going too fast! You're going too fast!"

Narrator: "Replied the flowers. Donald laughed and tried to go faster, but the flowers wouldn't let him."

Flowers: "We're going to stop."

Narrator: "They said."

Flowers: "We're going to stop!"

Donald Duck: "What's the matter?"

Narrator: "Donald asked his driver."

Donald Duck's Driver: "The flowers are hard on. Leak in the pot most likely. You've banged the flowers enough to make a leak in anything."

Guard: "How should we mend it?"

Narrator: "Said the Guard."

Donald Duck's Driver: "We'll do it with newspaper and a leather bootlace."

Narrator: "Replied the driver."

Guard: "Well, where is the bootlace coming from?"

Narrator: "Asked the guard."

Donald Duck's Driver: "Ask the passengers."

Narrator: "Said the driver."

Guard: "You have leather bootlace there, I see, sir."

Narrator: "Said the guard to George Banks, a smarty dressed man."

Guard: "Please give it to me."

George Banks: "I won't!"

Narrator: "Said George."

Guard: "Then,"

Narrator: "Said the guard,"

Guard: "I'm afraid we'll all have to stay where we are."

Narrator: "The passengers all said what a bad place Disneyland was. Then they told George how bad he was instead. Everyone was very cross.

At last, he handed his laces over.

The driver tied a pad of newspaper tightly around the hole in the pot, and Donald was able to take the flowers.

But he was a sadder and wiser Donald, and took care never to bump flowers again."
