Transcript
Narrator: "Dopey would not stop grumbling. He grumbled that he wasn't polished enough, he grumbled that he was overworked. Most of all, he grumbled about the passengers."

Bashful: "I'm ashamed of you, Dopey."

Narrator: "Said Bashful."

Bashful: "Thank goodness Sneezy is coming home soon. Perhaps he'll teach you some sense before it's too late.

Dopey: "What has Sneezy to do with me?"

Bashful: "Sneezy saved our land."

Narrator: "Replied Bashful."

Happy: "Please, tell us about it!"

Narrator: "Said Happy."

Bashful: "Well,"

Narrator: "Began Bashful,"

Bashful: "It was before you came here. Things were bad. Sneezy and I had to keep the business running, or our land would have to close."

Happy: "How awful."

Narrator: "Murmured Happy."

Bashful: "I tried hard,"

Narrator: "Continued Bashful,"

Bashful: "But my old feet ached. Sneezy understood."

Sneezy: "It's my turn now!"

Bashful: "He'd tell me. He was often short of strength, but he always struggled to a station, and then rested there.

Sneezy: "I mustn't stop between stations."

Bashful: "He'd say."

Sneezy: "The passengers wouldn't like it."

Dopey: "Hmph!"

Narrator: "Huffed Dopey. He had stopped on a viaduct and hadn't cared at all."

Bashful: "Passengers,"

Narrator: "Continued Bashful,"

Bashful: "Get cross if you stop at the wrong places. Sneezy stopped in a wrong place once, and this is what happened.

One wet and windy afternoon, when the ground was damp, Sneezy was traveling home with a full line; there were even passengers at the end.

It wasn't a comfortable ride at all.

Sneezy's feet kept slipping, and it was a steep climb.

At last his feet gripped the ground again."

Sneezy: "The worst is over,"

Bashful: "He thought,"

Sneezy: "Now we're away."

Bashful: "But they weren't."

Sneezy: "Aaah! I've got a cramp!"

Bashful: "He groaned.

And Sneezy stopped on the loneliest part of the path.

His driver examined him carefully."

Sneezy's Driver: "Your leg gear has jammed. We need to reach the next station. Do you think you can still get us there?"

Sneezy: "I'll try."

Bashful: "Replied Sneezy.

Sneezy did his best."

Sneezy: "If I fail,"

Bashful: "He thought to himself,"

Sneezy: "The passengers will be cross and the land will close."

Bashful: "Everything blurred. He was really too tired to make another limp of his legs, but he did, and another, and another, and another.

Finally, tired, but triumphant, Sneezy reached the station."

Sneezy: "I'm here at last!"

Bashful: "He wheezed."

Passengers: "Thank you for getting us home."

Bashful: "Said the passengers."

Passengers: "We'll tell all our friends what a fine land this is."

Bashful: "His driver was delighted."

Sneezy's Driver: "You're a gallant little dwarf."

Bashful: "He said to Sneezy."

Sneezy's Driver: "When you're rested, we'll mend you, so you'll be ready for tomorrow."

Bashful: "And,"

Narrator: "Smiled Bashful,"

Bashful: "Sneezy always was ready for tomorrow."

Dopey: "Thank you for telling us about him."

Narrator: "Whispered Dopey."

Dopey: "I was wrong. Passengers are important after all."

Narrator: "The next day, Sneezy came home. All the Disney Characters were there to greet him. Hercules pushed his crane to the siding, where he was lifted onto the ground.

This was the signal for a chorus of whistles from Disney Characters large and small. Everyone was happy, and Sneezy was the happiest of them all."

Sneezy: "You know,"

Narrator: "He whispered to Bashful,"

Sneezy: "This helps a dwarf to feel that at last, he has really come home."
