And now to our transcribed drama, the story of Danny Dollar starring Sterling Holloway as narrator. This is the story of a dollar bill named Danny. Danny wasn't exactly born. He was printed, which amounts to the same thing in the life of a dollar bill.

Along with countless other dollar bills, Danny was put through huge machines which stamped him all over with numbers and official seals and all it goes to make the well-dressed dollar bill. Finally, he was put through a big machine that stamped a lovely picture of George Washington on one side of him.

Danny didn't mind all this printing rigmarole and in fact it was kind of fun. When he went through the machine stamped the picture on him, It tickled, and Danny wriggled. Well, finally Danny went sliding out a chute and landed on a long, flat table.

Cautiously, Danny lifted one of his crisp edges and glanced about. On an adjoining table, he saw a whole pile of new $5 bills. And being of a very friendly disposition, Danny yelled out to one of the fives.

Hi! But the five lifted Lincoln's nose and went, Well, Danny was a little hurt by this, but then one of the other dollar bills spoke up. Don't feel bad, Danny. Five's never speak to us dollar bills.
