Transcript
Narrator: "One morning, Chief Thunderhooves was in the yard eating a large meal."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "That's the third meal you've had today, Chief Thunderhooves."

Narrator: "Said Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "Some might say you're being rather greedy."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'm an important buffalo."

Narrator: "Replied Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Important buffaloes need plenty of food, but I doubt that you would understand that, Cranky."

Narrator: "Cranky snorted and went about his work.

Later, Chief Thunderhooves was taking on water from a standpipe because the water fountain was under repair."

Soarin: "I wouldn't drink too much of that water if I were you, Chief Thunderhooves. It might give you a stomach ache."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Pah!"

Narrator: "Said Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "What's this? Educating Chief Thunderhooves Day? First Cranky, now you Soarin. Big animals have needs! Little animals are just annoying!"

Soarin: "Don't say I didn't warn you."

Narrator: "Laughed Soarin.

Later, Chief Thunderhooves came into the yard at the big station."

Chief Thunderhooves: "That's what I need."

Narrator: "Exclaimed Chief Thunderhooves. There, emerging out of the sheds, were two shiny carts."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Now if I had two carts of food,"

Narrator: "Said Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I wouldn't need to stop so often, and I wouldn't have to listen to silly, little animals."

Chief Thunderhooves' Driver: "Those carts belong to a visitor."

Narrator: "Replied his driver. Discord sidled up alongside."

Discord: "Everyone knows that carts are a mark of distinction, but I'm afraid that no amount of carts will save you in the end. We draconequus are taking over, and we don't need carts of food to make us important. Not even one."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves was most upset. He was feeling just the same next day."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I'm not happy."

Soarin: "I know."

Narrator: "Said Soarin."

Soarin: "It's stomach ache."

Chief Thunderhooves: "It's not stomach ache."

Narrator: "Protested Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "It's,"

Big Macintosh: "Of course, it is."

Narrator: "Interrupted Big Macintosh."

Big Macintosh: "That water's bad. Have a good wash out, then you'll feel a different buffalo. Your body must be full of sludge."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Don't be vulgar!"

Narrator: "Huffed Chief Thunderhooves. He backed down onto his line of buffaloes hissing mournfully."

Hoity Toity: "Cheer up, Chief Thunderhooves."

Narrator: "Said Hoity Toity."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I can't, sir. Is it true what Discord said, sir?"

Hoity Toity: "What does he say?"

Chief Thunderhooves: "That draconequus are taking over."

Hoity Toity: "Don't worry, Chief Thunderhooves. That will never happen in my town."

Chief Thunderhooves: "And one more thing, sir. Why did the visitor had two carts of food?"

Hoity Toity: "Because he lives in a town with long distances between food areas."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves felt better.

But Big Mac started complaining. He banged some changelings angrily."

Big Macintosh: "I always work hard enough for two!"

Narrator: "He puffed."

Big Macintosh: "I deserve another cart."

Narrator: "Soarin whispered something to Night Light. He was going to play a trick on Big Mac."

Soarin: "Big Mac,"

Narrator: "He asked."

Soarin: "Would you like my carts?"

Big Macintosh: "Yours? What have you got to do with carts?"

Soarin: "All right."

Narrator: "Said Soarin."

Soarin: "The deal's off. Would you like them, Night Light?"

Night Light: "I wouldn't deprive you of the honor."

Narrator: "Replied Night Light."

Soarin: "It is a great honor."

Narrator: "Continued Soarin thoughtfully."

Soarin: "But I'm only a pegasus. Perhaps Cranky might..."

Big Macintosh: "I'm sorry I was rude."

Narrator: "Said Big Mac hastily."

Big Macintosh: "How many carts have you? And when can I have them?"

Soarin: "Ah, hmm. I have six, and you can have them this evening."

Big Macintosh: "Six lovely carts!"

Narrator: "Chortled Big Mac."

Big Macintosh: "What a splendid sight I'll be."

Narrator: "Big Mac was excited all day."

Big Macintosh: "Do you think it'll be alright?"

Narrator: "He asked for the umpteenth time."

Soarin: "Of course."

Narrator: "Said Soarin."

Soarin: "They're already now."

Narrator: "The other animals waited where they can each get a good view.

But Big Mac wasn't a splendid sight at all. His six carts were very old, dirty and filled with sludge."

Voice: "Have a good wash out, Big Mac?"

Narrator: "Called a voice."

Voice: "That's right! You'll feel a different horse now."

Narrator: "Big Mac was not sure, but he thought the voice belonged to Chief Thunderhooves'."
