Transcript
Narrator: "Baloo and Sir Ector were lonely when Pongo left the yard to run his route. They missed him very much. They had more work to do and had to fetch their own flowers. They didn't like that.

Donald Duck grumbled too."

Baloo, Sir Ector and Donald Duck: "We get no rest, we get no rest!"

Narrator: "They all complained, but the flowers only laughed."

Flowers: "You're lazy and slack, you're lazy and slack."

Narrator: "They answered.

All together, the Disney Characters were causing Mickey Mouse a great deal of trouble.

The big stations at both ends of the route each have a turntable. Mickey had made them so that the big Disney Characters can be turned around, because it is dangerous for them to go fast backwards.

Little Disney Characters, like Pongo, don't need turntables. They can do just as well backwards as forwards. But to hear Sir Ector talk, you would have thought that Mickey had made him big just to show how important he was."

Sir Ecotr: "You don't understand, little Pongo. We big Disney Characters have a position to keep up. It doesn't matter where you go, but we are important. And for Mickey Mouse to make us arrange pirates, and fetch flowers and go on some of those dirty sidings. It's... it's... well, it's not the proper thing."

Narrator: "Pongo chuckled, and went off with Abigal and Amelia."

Sir Ector: "Disgraceful!"

Narrator: "Sir Ector hissed, as he went backwards to the turntable.

The turntable was in a windy place close to the sea. And if he was not on it just right, he put it out of balance and made it difficult to turn. Today, Sir Ector was in a bad temper, and the wind was blowing fiercely. His driver tried to make him stop in the right place, but Sir Ector wasn't trying. The fireman tried to turn the handle, but Sir Ector's weight and the strong winds prevented him."

Sir Ector's Driver and Fireman: "It's no good."

Narrator: "They said at last."

Sri Ector's Driver and Fireman: "You upset the balance. If you were a nice little Disney Character, you'd be alright. Now, you'll have to take the next line of flowers backwards."

Boys: "Look!"

Narrator: "Called some boys."

Boys: "There's a new little Disney Character. Oh, it's only Sir Ector back to front."

Pongo: "Hello."

Narrator: "Called Pongo."

Pongo: "Playing little Disney Characters? Sensible man. Take my advice, lose some weight and have some nice spots."

Narrator: "Sir Ector said nothing.

Even Donald laughed when he saw him."

Sir Ector: "Take care."

Narrator: "Hissed Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "You might stick too."

Donald Duck: "No fear."

Narrator: "Chuckled Donald."

Donald: "I'm not so fat as you.

I mustn't stick."

Narrator: "Thought Donald. He stopped on just the right place to balance to the table. It could now swing easily.

Sir Ector arrived in time to see everything.

Donald turned much too easily. The wind puffed him round like a top. He couldn't stop."

Sir Ector: "Well, well."

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector."

Sir Ector: "Are you playing roundabouts?"

Narrator: "Poor Donald, feeling quite giddy, rolled off into the house without a word.

That night, the three Disney Characters had an indignation meeting."

Sir Ector: "It's shameful to treat big Disney Characters like this! Sir Ector has to go backwards and people think he's a little Disney Character, Donald spins round like a top and everyone laughs at us. And to add to that, Mickey Mouse makes us all arrange in dirty sidings. Ugh!

Listen,"

Narrator: "Said Sir Ector. He whispered something to the others."

Sir Ector: "We'll do it tomorrow. Mickey will look silly!"

Narrator: "The Disney Characters had decided to go on strike."
