Transcript
Narrator: "One morning, Pipsqueak was impatience. He was wearing some new hair and long for everyone to see it. The other animals were still dozing, but not Pipsqueak."

Pipsqueak: "Driver should be here by now. What's he doing?"

Chief Thunderhooves: "Sleeping."

Narrator: "Grunted Chief Thunderhooves."

Pipsqueak: "But that means I'll be late. The buffaloes will be waiting and the passengers will get cross."

Big Macintosh: "Rubbish!"

Narrator: "Huffed Big Macintosh."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "It's still early."

Narrator: "Added Cranky."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "You just want to show off."

Pipsqueak: "No I don't."

Spike: "Never Pipsqueak."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "It'll soon be time for work. But be careful, or you might run into danger and Big Mac is not here to save you."

Braeburn: "B-B-Big Mac?"

Narrator: "Stuttered Braeburn."

Braeburn: "You mean our hero?"

Narrator: "A large painting of Big Mac hung in the library."

Spike: "The very same."

Narrator: "Said Spike."

Spike: "Driver told me the story. Listen."

Narrator: "And this is the story Spike told them."

Spike: "Long ago, Sunshine and Ten Cents used to work with Big Mac in his own harbor, but Ten Cents still had a lot to learn.

The manager came to see him."

Manager: "Ten Cents, I'm pleased with your work so far. Now you must learn the difficult part of the river. We call it "The Mountain River"."

Spike: "Ten Cents was excited."

Ten Cents: "Yes, please sir."

Manager: "So tomorrow, when you have a new coat of paint, you will go on it. Big Mac will explain everything."

Ten Cents: "Huh!"

Spike: "Thought Ten Cents!"

Ten Cents: "Big Mac's an old fusspot!"

Spike: "Next day came."

Big Mac: "Listen."

Spike: "Warned Big Mac."

Big Mac: "The mountain river is difficult. I'll lead."

Ten Cents: "No."

Spike: "Replied Ten Cents."

Ten Cents: "I'll lead. How can I learn the river with you lumbering ahead and blocking the view?"

Big Mac: "Suit yourself."

Spike: "Said Big Mac."

Big Mac: "But never mind the view. Look at the river."

Spike: "The tugs set off."

Big Mac: "Look at the river."

Spike: "Puffed Big Mac."

Big Mac: "Never mind the view."

Ten Cents: "Fusspot, fusspot!"

Spike: "Replied Ten Cents."

Ten Cents: "Fuddy-duddy, fuddy-duddy, fuddy-duddy!"

Spike: "The tugs' speed grew slower and slower."

Ten Cents: "Don't dawdle, don't dawdle!"

Spike: "Urged Ten Cents."

Big Mac: "No hurry, no hurry."

Spike: "Puffed Big Mac.

Soon they approach the tunnel. Ten Cents didn't like the tunnel. It was curved and he couldn't see."

Ten Cents: "I want to get out! I want to get out!"

Spike: "He sighed. One moment, everything seemed safe. But then suddenly...

Ten Cents hung dangerously over the waterfall.

Big Mac bravely held on with all of his strength."

Big Mac: "Stop shaking!"

Spike: "He called."

Big Mac: "I can't hold you if you shake."

Spike: "Big Mac's driver and fireman work quickly to make the two tugs safe again.

Then came more trouble."

Big Mac's Fireman: "Water!"

Spike: "Cried Big Mac's fireman."

Big Mac's Fireman: "Big Mac needs water quickly!"

Spike: "Luckily there was a workman's cottage nearby. Soon everyone was passing jugs, buckets, kettles and saucepans filled with water until Big Mac's thirst was quinched. All the while, Big Mac was building more strength. At last, when everyone's help, he was able to pull Ten Cents back to safety.

Then they started off once more.

The manager was waiting at the top station. He apologized with the accident."

Passengers: "Your Big Mac..."

Spike: "Said the passengers."

Passengers: "is a hero. He stood firm like a bulldog and wouldn't like go."

Spike: "Ten Cents was grateful too."

Ten Cents: "Thank you for saving me, Big Mac. I don't know why you bothered after I've been so rude."

Big Mac: "Oh well,"

Spike: "Replied Big Mac."

Big Mac: "You just had a new coat of paint. It would've been a pity if you felled down the waterfall and spoiled it."
