Narrator: "Dr. Hooves and Soarin are ponies. They deliver goods and passengers when the roads are closed by deep snow.
But Dr. Hooves thinks snow is messy and cold."
Dr. Hooves: "I'm an earth pony."
Narrator: "He chuffed one day."
Dr. Hooves: "I shouldn't have to shiver."
Tank: "Begging your pardon, Mr. Hooves?"
Narrator: "Whispered Tank."
Tank: "But I think snow is splendid."
Dr. Hooves: "Huh!"
Narrator: "Later, Dr. Hooves saw some children building a giant snowman for their winter festival.
Each time, Dr. Hooves passed by the snowman grew bigger, and bigger, and bigger, and bigger."
Tank: "Just an obviation, Mr. Hooves, snow is magical."
Dr. Hooves: "Oh!"
Narrator: "Finally, the snowman was completed.
Dr. Hooves chuffed back to his warm cozy home.
Hoity Toity was waiting for him."
Hoity Toity: "You have to return to the mountain village."
Narrator: "He said."
Hoity Toity: "Some goods are needed for the festival."
Dr. Hooves: "But all this snow makes my hooves feel chilly."
Hoity Toity: "Really useful animals work hard whatever the weather!"
Narrator: "Soon, Dr. Hooves was loaded and on his way. The snow was cold. It had frozen the points and diverted Dr. Hooves into the station siding."
Dr. Hooves: "Whoa, shiver my body!"
Narrator: "Cried Dr. Hooves. His driver applied the brakes."
Tank: "Is there a problem, Mr. Hooves?"
Dr. Hooves: "Yeah, there is! Whoa!"
(CRASH!)
Tank: "That could been a little smoother."
Narrator: "Dr. Hooves felt awful. He thought the children would be upset about their snowman.
Dr. Hooves' driver went for help.
Hoity Toity was just leaving his office when he got the call."
Hoity Toity: "Soarin will bring the breakdown crane first thing in the morning."
Narrator: "He said.
Dr. Hooves' driver returned and told him the news."
Dr. Hooves: "I'll be out here all night."
Narrator: "Moaned Dr. Hooves."
Dr. Hooves' Driver: "I'm afraid so."
Narrator: "Luckily, the village inn had a toasty warm room for Dr. Hooves' driver. But Dr. Hooves was getting colder and colder.
His stamina had gone low, and the top of his head was covered in icicles."
Dr. Hooves: "I was right all along. Brr! There's nothing magical about snow. Brr!"
Narrator: "Tank was beginning to think Dr. Hooves might be right."
Tank: "Brr!"
Narrator: "Next morning the children saw the situation."
Girl: "Look."
Narrator: "A little girl shouted."
Girl: "Our snowman has eyes in his tummy."
Boy: "No it doesn't."
Narrator: "Laughed a little boy."
Boy: "It's Dr. Hooves!"
Narrator: "That gave the children an idea.
When Dr. Hooves woke up, he was surrounded by happy children."
Children: "Dr. Hooves's a wonderful snow pony!"
Narrator: "They cried. Dr. Hooves was so relief that suddenly, he didn't feel any cold anymore.
When Soarin arrived with the breakdown crane, Dr. Hooves didn't want to leave. He loved the winter festival so much."
Dr. Hooves: "You were right, Tank."
Narrator: "Dr. Hooves called."
Dr. Hooves: "There are some magical things about snow."
Tank: "P-p-p-perhaps, Mr. Hooves."
Narrator: "Shivered Tank."
Dr. Hooves: "Absolutely!"
