Narrator : [after Lambert defeats the wolf] Lambert's mother is so proud, and the sheep have changed their tune.

Mr. Stork : [looks at his invoice after discovering that he has brough a baby lion to a small sheep pasture] Lambert? But that's no lamb at all. Lambert is a lion! South Africa? Oh, goodness me! I've got to do some flying...
[runs over to the flock]
Mr. Stork : Come, Lambert! Uh, pardon me. I beg your pardon...
[steps over the other ewes]
Mr. Stork : Sorry, sorry! Oh, uh
[laughs]
Mr. Stork : Mrs. Sheep?
[Lambert plays with her bell]
Mr. Stork : I'm afraid there's been a slight bungle, heh heh.
[picks up Lambert]
Mr. Stork : I'll take that vicious little brute and drop him in the jungle.
[as he ties Lambert up in his sack, Mrs. Sheep rams him from behind]
Mr. Stork : [in the air] Well, goodness. Heavens to Betsy! All right, let her have it. Let her have anything she wants, for heaven's sake.
[flies away]
Mr. Stork : I'm only a delivery service. That's all.

Narrator : Time changes everything. The little spring lambs were sheep by fall. And Lambert's ma, oh, was she proud of him! Because she had the *biggest* sheep, or - ewe, or lamb, or whatever - isn't he huge?

[last lines]
Narrator : Ah, incidently, don't worry about that hungry wolf. He has a place to cling; he won't starve. Because that bush has berries every spring.
-
Mr. Stork : Here we are, now. Please don't crowd each other. Pick out the ewe that you like best, and she will be your mother.
