Transcript
Narrator: "One day, Hercules was in the house where he lived with the other Disney Characters. They were all bigger than Hercules and boasted about it."

Sir Ector: "The driver won't choose you again."

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "He wants strong Disney Characters like us."

Narrator: "But the driver and fireman felt sorry for Hercules."

Driver and Fireman: "Would you like to come out today?"

Hercules: "Oh, yes, please!"

Narrator: "Said Hercules. So he had his breakfast, gained lots of stamina, and Hercules puffed away.

The other Disney Characters were very cross at being left behind.

Hercules worked hard all day. The flowers thought he was very kind and the driver was very pleased."

Hercules: "I'm going out again tomorrow."

Narrator: "Hercules told the other Disney Characters that night."

Hercules: "What do you think of that?"

Narrator: "But he didn't hear what they thought, for he was so tired and happy, that he fell asleep at once.

Next morning, Hercules woke up to find nothing had changed. Sir Ector was still boasting."

Sir Ector: "You watch me, little Hercules, as I rush through with the express. That will be a splendid sight for you.

Good-bye, little Hercules. Look out for me this afternoon."

Narrator: "Hercules went off to do some arranging.

Hercules liked arranging. It was fun playing with pirates. He would come up quietly and give them a push. Then he would stop and the silly pirates would go bump into each other.

Pirates: "Oh!"

Narrator: "They cried."

Pirates: "Whatever is happening?"

Narrator: "Hercules played until there were no more pirates. Then he stopped to rest.

Presently, he heard some grumbling.

Sir Ector was very cross. Instead of nice, shining flowers, he was taking some dirty pirates."

Sir Ector: "Pirates, pirates, pirates!"

Narrator: "He grumbled."

Sir Ector: "The shame of it, the shame of it, oh, the shame of it!"

Narrator: "Hercules laughed, and went to find some more pirates.

Then there was trouble."

Porter: "Sir Ector can't get up the hill."

Narrator: "The porter called to Hercules' driver."

Porter: "Will you take Hercules and push him, please?"

Narrator: "They found Sir Ector halfway up, and very cross. His driver and fireman were talking to him severely."

Sir Ector's Driver and Fireman: "You're not trying!"

Sir Ector: "I can't do it!"

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "The noisy pirates hold a cat back so."

Narrator: "Hercules' driver came up."

Hercules' Driver: "We've come to push."

Sir Ector: "No use at all!"

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector."

Hercules' Driver: "You wait and see."

Narrator: "Replied Hercules' driver.

They brought the pirates back to the bottom of the hill."

Hercules: "I'm ready!"

Narrator: "Said Hercules."

Sir Ector: "No good."

Narrator: "Grumbled Sir Ector. They pulled and pushed as hard as they could."

Sir Ector: "I can't do it! I can't do it! I can't do it!"

Narrator: "Puffed Sir Ector."

Hercules: "I will do it, I will do it, I will do it!"

Narrator: "Puffed Hercules. Hercules pushed and puffed, and puffed and pushed as hard as ever he could. And almost before he realized it, Sir Ector found himself at the top of the hill."

Sir Ector: "I've done it, I've done it, I've done it!"

Narrator: "He said proudly. He forgot all about Hercules and didn't wait to say 'Thank you'.

Hercules was left out of breath and far behind. He ran onto the next station, and there he found that the driver and fireman were very pleased with him. The fireman gave him a nice long drink, and the driver said,"

Hercules' Driver: "I'll get out my outfits tomorrow, and give you a bright orange suit. Then you'll be the smartest Disney Character in Disneyland."
