Transcript
Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves always took the express buffaloes. He was proud of being the only animal strong enough to do so. It was full of important people, like Hoity Toity, and Chief Thunderhooves was seeing how fast he could go."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Narrator: "He said."

Buffaloes: "Trickety-trock, trickety-trock, trickety-trock."

Narrator: "Said the buffaloes. In a minute, Chief Thunderhooves would see the tunnel where Big Macintosh stood bricked up and lonley."

Big Macintosh: "Oh dear."

Narrator: "Thought Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "Why did I worry about rain spoiling my lovely hair? I'd like to come out of the tunnel."

Narrator: "But Big Mac didn't know how to ask."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'm going to whistle at Big Mac."

Narrator: "Said Chief Thunderhooves. He was almost there when - Wheeeeeeesh! - and there was proud Thunderhooves going slower and slower in a cloud of dust. His driver stopped him."

Chief Thunderhooves: "What has happened to me?"

Narrator: "Asked Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I feel so weak."

Chief Thunderhooves' Driver: "You've pull a muscle."

Narrator: "Said his driver."

Chief Thunderhooves's Driver: "You can't take the buffaloes anymore."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Oh dear."

Narrator: "Said Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "We were going so nicely too. And look, there's Big Macintosh laughing at me."

Narrator: "Everyone came to see Chief Thunderhooves."

Hoity Toity: "Humph."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "These big animals are always causing me trouble. Send for another animal at once."

Narrator: "While the conductor went to find one, they brought Chief Thunderhooves in a siding out of the way.

Shining Armor was the only animal left."

Shining Armor: "I'll come and try."

Narrator: "He said."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Pooh!"

Narrator: "Said Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "That's no use. Shining Armor can't push the buffaloes."

Narrator: "Shining Armor puffed and pushed and pushed and puffed, but he couldn't move the heavy buffaloes."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I told you so."

Narrator: "Said Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Why not let Big Mac try?"

Hoity Toity: "Yes."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Hoity Toity: "I will.

Will you help take the buffaloes, Big Mac?"

Big Macintosh: "Oh yes."

Narrator: "Said Big Mac.

When Big Macintosh had got up strength, he puffed out. He was dirty and covered with cobwebs."

Big Macintosh: "Ooh! I'm stiff, I'm stiff."

Narrator: "He groaned."

Hoity Toity: "Have a run to ease your hooves, and find a turntable."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity.

When Big Mac came back, he felt much better. Then they hooked him up."

Shining Armor: "Peep, peep."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor."

Shining Armor: "I'm ready."

Big Macintosh: "Peep, peep, peep."

Narrator: "Said Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "So am I."

Shining Armor and Big Macintosh: "Pull hard. We'll do it. Pull hard. We'll do it."

Narrator: "They puffed together."

Shining Armor and Big Macintosh: "We've done it together. We've done it together."

Narrator: "Said Shining Armor and Big Macintosh."

Buffaloes: "You've done it, hurray! You've done it, hurray!"

Narrator: "Sang the buffaloes. Everyone was excited. Hoity Toity leaned out to wave at Shining Armor and Big Mac, but they were going so fast that his hair blew off into a field where a goat ate it for tea.

They never stopped till they came to the station at the end of the road. The passengers all said "Thank you". And Hoity Toity promised Big Mac a new coat.

One their way home, Shining Armor and Big Mac helped Chief Thunderhooves back to the shed. All three animals are now great friends. Big Macintosh doesn't mind the rain now. He knows that the best way to keep his hair nice is not to run into tunnels but to ask his driver to wash him when the day's work is over."
