Transcript
Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves the Buffalo and Spike the Dragon walked together back home. It had been a busy day.

First, Spike had teased Chief Thunderhooves about the time the big buffalo had slid into a ditch.

Then, Spike fell down a mine. And Chief Thunderhooves came to his rescue."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Remember Spike,"

Narrator: "Called Chief Thunderhooves grandly."

Chief Thunderhooves: "United we stand, together we fall. You help me, and I'll help you."

Spike: "I'll remember."

Narrator: "Replied Spike."

Spike: "But I hope Hoity Toity forgives us soon."

Narrator: "Suddenly, they noticed something. As the two animals whistled into the sheds, everywhere they look, they saw paint pots and painters."

Spike: "Bust my scales!"

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "What's happening?"

Pipsqueak: "Shhh."

Narrator: "Whispered Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Hoity Toity is going to tell us now."

Hoity Toity: "Ladies and gentlemen and animals, I am honor to inform you that her majesty, the Queen herself is coming here to visit us. Now, on with the preparations."

Narrator: "The animals wondered who would pull the royal cart."

Shining Armor: "I'm too old to pull important carts."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'm in disgrace."

Narrator: "Sighed Chief Thunderhooves."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "He'll choose me, of course."

Narrator: "Boasted Cranky."

Big Macintosh: "You?"

Narrator: "Snorted Big Macintosh."

Big Macintosh: "You can't climb hill! He'll ask me to pull the cart, and I'll have some new fur."

Narrator: "Then, the rain came.

Big Mac's driver and fireman covered up to keep dry. A painter was on the ladder above the road. Big Mac's dust blew high into the air. The painter couldn't see. Both and the painter pot fell all over Big Mac.

Poor Big Mac."

Painter: "Well, you're not a pretty picture!"

Narrator: "Sneered the painter.

Hoity Toity spoke next."

Hoity Toity: "You look like an iced cake, Big Mac. That won't do for the royal cart. I must make other arrangements."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves and Spike were waiting for him."

Chief Thunderhooves and Spike: "Please, sir."

Hoity Toity: "One at a time."

Narrator: "Replied Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "Yes, Chief Thunderhooves?"

Chief Thunderhooves: "May Spike have his branch line again?"

Hoity Toity: "Hmmm.

I think you are both sorry and deserve a treat. Shining Armor will go in front to clear the road, Spike will look after the carts and Chief Thunderhooves will pull the royal cart."

Narrator: "The great day came. All the animals worked hard bringing people to the town.

Spike sorted out their carts in the yard.

Shining Armor walked in."

Shining Armor: "Peep! The queen is here!"

Narrator: "Then, Chief Thunderhooves whistled as he approached the station. Everyone knew that sound.

The queen's cart glided into the station. Chief Thunderhooves was spotless, and his horns shown brightly.

Hoity Toity stood to attention."

Hoity Toity: "Welcome ma'am."

Narrator: "The queen thanked him for a splendid run, and asked to see all the animals."

Pipsqueak and Braeburn: "Peep, peep!"

Narrator: "Whistled Braeburn and Pipsqueak."

Big Macintosh and Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Shhh!"

Narrator: "Hissed Big Mac and Cranky. But Braeburn and Pipsqueak didn't care."

Pipsqueak and Braeburn: "Three cheers for the queen!"

All the Animals: "Peep, peep!"

Narrator: "Whistled the animals.

When it was time to leave, the queen spoke specially to Spike, who fetch her cart, then to Shining Armor, and finally to Chief Thunderhooves, who took her away.

No animals ever felt prouder than those in Hoity Toity's town."
