Transcript
Narrator: "Spike's line is important and so is Shining Armor's. But their paths and bridges are not so strong as those on the main line. Hoity Toity does not allow the heavier animals like Chief Thunderhooves to run on them.

But one day, the way Chief Thunderhooves was talking, he would have thought Hoity Toity had given this order for quite another reason."

Chief Thunderhooves: "It's not fair!"

Narrator: "Grumbled Chief Thunderhooves."

Shining Armor: "What isn't fair?"

Narrator: "Ask Shining Armor."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Letting ponies do buffaloe work."

Shining Armor: "Never min, Chief Thunderhooves. I'm sure Filthy Rich will let you take his changelings sometimes."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves spluttered."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I won't take Filthy Rich's dirty changelings! I won't do pony work!"

Shining Armor: "Why not? It would be a nice change."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Hoity Toity would never approve."

Narrator: "Huffed Chief Thunderhooves."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Pony work is vulgar!"

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves puffed away. Shining Armor chuckled and followed him to the train station.

Every evening the two animals took two sets of fast buffaloes from the train station. Chief Thunderhooves always leaves first with an express for Appleloosa. Shining Armor follows five minutes later with his buffaloes for the Crystal Empire. Usually everything runs like clockwork. But tonight there was trouble. A Lady in a green floppy hat was saying goodbye to a friend. It was nearly time for Chief Thunderhooves to start. The fireman looked back towards the conductor's van and saw something green waving."

Chief Thunderhooves' Fireman: "Right away, mate!"

Narrator: "He thought the conductor had waved his flag. Chief Thunderhooves started. Leaving luggage, his passengers and the conductor all standing on the platform. Everyone was very surprised and cross.

To make matters worse, by the time Chief Thunderhooves had been stopped and brought back, Shining Armor was already late with his buffaloes. So now, he set off first.

But the signalman at the junction wasn't told about the change. By mistake, he sent Shining Armor to Appleloose. Chief Thunderhooves was sent to the Crystal Empire and arrived cold and cross on one of the sidings near the castle.

Next morning, Snips and Snails peeped into the yard. There were no changelings for them but they didn't mind that. Teasing Chief Thunderhooves would be much better fun."

Snips: "What's that?"

Narrator: "Asked Snips."

Snails: "Shh!"

Narrator: "Whispered Snails."

Snails: "It's Chief Thunderhooves."

Snips: "It looks like Chief Thunderhooves, but it can't be. Chief Thunderhooves never comes to the Crystal Empire. He thinks it vulgar."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves pretend he hadn't heard."

Snails: If it isn't Chief Thunderhooves,"

Narrator: "Said Snails."

Snails: "it's just a pile of old iron."

Snips: "Which we better take to the scrapyard."

Snails: "No Snips. This lot's useless for scrap. We'll take it to the harbor and dumb it in the sea."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves was alarmed."

Chief Thunderhooves: "I am Chief Thunderhooves! Stop! Stop!"

Narrator: "When Filthy Rich suddenly arrived, Chief Thunderhooves thought him the most beautiful site he'd ever seen."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Filthy Rich, my dear pony, save me."

Narrator: "Filthy Rich quickly sized up the situation and threathened to take away the changelings he brought for Snips and Snails. This made the unicorns behave at once. Chief Thunderhooves thought Filthy Rich was wonderful."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Those little demons. How do you do it?"

Filthy Rich: "Ah, well."

Narrator: "Said Filthy Rich."

Filthy Rich: "It's just a knack."

Narrator: "Chief Thunderhooves still believes that Filthy Rich saved his life. But we know the unicorns were only teasing. Don't we?"
