Transcript
Narrator: "Hercules was getting old. His body was worn and he clanked as he walked along. He was taking empty pirates to a market town. The sun shone, birds sang, but Hercules was heading for trouble."

Hercules: "Come on, come on."

Narrator: "He puffed."

Pirates: "Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!"

Narrator: "Screamed the pirates."

Narrator: "Hercules puffed and clanked. The pirates rattled and screamed.

Some cows were grazing nearby. They were not used to Disney Characters. The noise disturbed them.

As Hercules clanked by, they broke through the fence and ran across the road. A pirate let go and some were left behind.

Hercules felt a jerk but didn't take much notice. He was used to pirates."

Hercules: "Bother those pirates!"

Narrator: "He thought."

Hercules: "Why can't they come quietly?"

Narrator: "He was at the next station before either he or his driver realized what had happened.

When Sir Ector and Baloo heard about the accident, they laughed and boasted.

Sir Ector and Baloo: "Fancy allowing cows to break his load. They wouldn't dare do that to us. We'd show them."

Narrator: "Friar Tuck was cross."

Friar Tuck: "You couldn't help it, Hercules. They've never met cows. I have, and I know the trouble they are."

Narrator: "Some days later, Sir Ector rushed through Hercules' station."

Sir Ector: "Mind the cows! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Narrator: "Puffed Sir Ector."

Flowers: "Don't make such a fuss. Don't make such a fuss."

Narrator: "Grumbled his flowers. A long path was ahead. In the distance was a bridge. It seemed to Sir Ector that there was something on the bridge. His driver thought so too."

Sir Ector's Driver: "Whoa, Sir Ector."

Narrator: "He said."

Sir Ector: "Pooh!"

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "It's only a cow. Shoo! Shoo!"

Narrator: "He moved slowly onto the bridge, but the cow would shoo. She had lost her calf and felt lonely."

Bluebell: "Moo!"

Narrator: "She said sadly. Everyone tried to send her away, but she wouldn't go. Baloo arrived."

Baloo: "What's this? A cow. I'll soon settle her. Be off! Be off!"

Bluebell: "Moo!"

Narrator: "Said the cow. Baloo backed away nervously."

Baloo: "I don't want to hurt her."

Narrator: "At the next station, Baloo's guard told them about the cow and warned the signalman that the line was blocked."

The Porter: "That must be Bluebell."

Narrator: "Said the porter."

The Porter: "Her calf is here, ready to go to market. Piglet will take her along."

Narrator: "At the bridge, Bluebell was very pleased to see her calf again, and the porter led them away."

Baloo and Sir Ector: "Not a word. Keep it dark."

Narrator: "Whispered Sir Ector and Baloo to each other. They felt rather silly. But the story soon spread."

Hercules: "Well, well, well."

Narrator: "Chuckled Hercules."

Hercules: "Two big Disney Characters afraid of a cow."

Sir Ector: "Afraid? Rubbish!"

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "We didn't want to poor thing to hurt herself by running up against us. We stopped so as not to excite her. You see what I mean, my dear Hercules."

Hercules: "Yes, Sir Ector."

Narrator: "Said Hercules. Sir Ector felt somehow that Hercules saw only too well."
