Editing Winnie the Pooh Meets The Small One/Transcript

(Song: "Small One")

Boy: Time to get up Wake up, Small One You don't want father to catch you sleeping again

Kinda stiff, huh? How's that? Better?

So, you wanna play? Well you better not get tired now.

Father: Come on Son! We have to get to work.

Boy: Here. Eat your breakfast.

Father: Are those donkeys ready yet?

Boy: Coming Father! Hurry Small One!

Father: Don't you have enough work, without doing Small One's too?

Boy: Oh no, Father. It's no trouble at all.

Father: Son, are you aware that Small One eats as much as the other donkeys?

Boy: Well he has a big appitite

Father: That's what I'm trying to say, Son. He can no longer carry a big enough load to pay for his food.

Boy: He's just a little tired today. His strength will come back.

Father: No, he's old my Son. We can't afford to keep him any longer.

Boy: No, Father! You don't mean that!

Father: I'm sorry, Son. But tomorrow I must take him to the market and sell him. He'll bring a piece of silver.

Boy: No, Father! No! You can't sell him. You can't.

Father: Please, Son. Try to understand. Small One is old. He shouldn't have to work so hard. In the city, he'll have an easie life. You must be strong my Son.

Boy: Father?

Father: Yes, Son.

Boy: Please, can I take him?

Father: Very well. You can leave in the morning and be back by nightfall. But understand, Small One must be sold.

Boy: Yes, Father.

Don't worry Small One. You won't have to carry those heavy sticks anymore. I won't sell you to just anyone. He'll will be someone special. Someone who'll feed you and brush your coat and get the burrs out of your tail. There must be such a man somewhere.
