The Opening
Narrator: "A long time ago in Equestria, there was a little town known as Ponyville. The smallest animal working in the town was Shining Armor. He helped to get changelings and buffaloes ready for the larger animals. The largest animal working in the town was Chief Thunderhooves. He loved to take the big buffaloes out. But he didn't much care for some of his other jobs."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Changelings, changelings. The shame of it, oh, the shame of it."

Shining Armor: "Oh, Chief Thunderhooves, it can't be that bad."

Chief Thunderhooves: "Yes, Shining Armor, it is. Luckily I won't have to work with changelings for long. Not after the new animal gets here."
