Transcript
Narrator: "Hamm is one of the oldest toys in the hills of Ponyville. He knows a lot of things, and sometimes he can be rather grand. He enjoys telling others what to do. And because he is a wise toy, the others do as he tells them.

One morning, Hamm puffed into the transfer yards. Hamm was waiting."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "I have to take Doc Top to a meeting with Hoity Toity."

Narrator: "Snorted Cranky. Just then, Doc Top arrived. He was late."

Doc Top: "Hamm,"

Narrator: "Gasped Doc Top."

Doc Top: "There's an important special today. I'd like you to be in charge of it while I'm away."

Hamm: "Yes, sir."

Narrator: "Chuffed Hamm happily. He liked the idea of being in charge. Now he could tell the others what to do."

Doc Top: "Workmen must be picked up, and taken to the forest."

Narrator: "Doc Top said. Hamm was excited."

Doc Top: "The wagons must be taken to the forest, and filled with logs."

Narrator: "Added Doc Top."

Doc Top: "Then, the heavy load must be delivered back here. Spike is coming to collect it very soon."

Hamm: "I'll find the very best characters."

Narrator: "Puffed Hamm."

Doc Top: "Ask the first characters you see to do the special."

Narrator: "Said Doc Top sternly. Hamm wasn't listening. He was thinking about telling the others what to do."

Doc Top: "The job must be done very quickly."

Narrator: "Cried Doc Top."

Hamm: "Don't worry."

Narrator: "Hamm hooted proudly, and he puffed away."

Hamm: "I'm going to have a wonderful time."

Narrator: "He whistled to himself.

Up ahead, Hamm found the Orthros. They were helping workmen to lay a new road."

Hamm: "I'm in charge of a very important special. I need someone to pull a heavy train."

Narrator: "Hamm chuffed."

Saint Bernard: "We can pull the heavy train."

Narrator: "Wheeshed Saint Bernard."

Mutt: "We're very strong."

Narrator: "Whistled Mutt. But Hamm wasn't listening."

Hamm: "I must find the very best characters. You must wait here."

Narrator: "He puffed grandly, and he steamed off.

Next, Hamm found Slinky."

Hamm: "I'm in charge of a very important special. I need someone to pick up workmen."

Narrator: "He puffed importantly. Slinky was very excited."

Slinky: "I can collect the workmen."

Narrator: "He hooted happily. But Hamm wasn't listening."

Hamm: "I must find the very best characters."

Narrator: "He huffed."

Hamm: "Wait here."

Narrator: "Then Hamm found Mr. Potato Head and Rex. They were racing down some twisty roads."

Hamm: "I'm in charge of a very important special. I need a fast character to take a load to Spike at the yards."

Narrator: "Chuffed Hamm importantly."

Mr. Potato Head and Rex: "We can pull loads faster than any other toy."

Narrator: "Mr. Potato Head and Rex puffed excitedly. But Hamm wasn't listening."

Hamm: "I must find the very best characters."

Narrator: "Hamm steamed snootily."

Narrator: "You must wait here."

Narrator: "So the little toys pulled into a siding. Hamm felt more important than ever.

Then there was trouble. Hamm arrived back at the transfer yards. Spike had already arrived to collect the special."

Spike: "Where's my load?"

Narrator: "Tooted Spike."

Hamm: "Bust my legs!"

Narrator: "Cried Hamm. Hamm had spent so long looking for the very best characters, nothing had been done. Now he was very worried."

Hamm: "Your special isn't ready."

Narrator: "He wheeshed sadly to Spike. Spike was surprised."

Spike: "Can you find characters to start work right away?"

Narrator: "He tooted."

Spike: "Then I can still deliver the special on time."

Narrator: "This time, Hamm was listening, very carefully. He knew where all the characters were waiting."

Hamm: "If I hurry, I can put characters to work right away. Leave it to me, Spike."

Narrator: "He chuffed. And Hamm raced out of the yards.

Hamm steamed over to Mr. Potato Head and Rex."

Hamm: "Can you work on my special?"

Narrator: "He asked."

Rex: "We can pull the wagons along the twisty roads to the forest."

Narrator: "Peeped Rex."

Mr. Potato Head: "Faster than anyone."

Narrator: "Added Mr. Potato Head. This time, Hamm was listening."

Hamm: "Please start straightaway."

Narrator: "He wheeshed. And he raced off to find Slinky.

Slinky was still where Hamm had told him to wait."

Slinky: "I can collect the workmen."

Narrator: "Hooted Slinky."

Slinky: "And take them toward the lumber."

Hamm: "Please, start straightaway."

Narrator: "Hamm huffed.

Finally, Hamm found the Orthros."

Saint Bernard: "We can pull the heavy lumber load to the transfer yards."

Narrator: "Wheeshed Saint Bernard."

Mutt: "We're the strongest."

Narrator: "Whistled Mutt. And they steamed off. Hamm had listened carefully to everyone. Now everyone was working."

Hamm: "The special will be ready for Spike after all."

Narrator: "He huffed.

Later, at the transfer yards, Spike's wagons had been loaded with the lumber. Just then, Cranky returned with Doc Top."

Doc Top: "Well done, Hamm!"

Narrator: "Said Doc Top."

Doc Top: "Did you enjoy being the toy in charge?"

Hamm: "Yes, sir."

Narrator: "Chuffed Hamm. He felt very happy. He had listened to the other characters, and now he was even wiser."
