00:11Santa doesn't have to worry. I'll watch over his stable till he gets back, like I do every year.
00:18Christmas Eve, brightest night of the year up here at Santa's castle.
00:23That's because Santa and all the reindeer are off doing their big thing.
00:28But as for Santa's donkey, well, it's sort of a night off.
00:33What? You never knew Santa had a donkey?
00:36Why, sure.
00:38Who do you think pulls Santa's snowplow?
00:41And who totes all the toy carts from one place to the other?
00:45Me, Spielto.
00:47Come on, I'll show you around.
00:51Well, this is it. Not very fancy, but we call it home.
00:55Come on. Dasher, dancer, prancer, vixen.
01:02Pretty, isn't it? The animals on Christmas tree.
01:06Compliments of Mrs. Santa.
01:08The elves made that pretty little manger themselves.
01:12Just about the way the real one looked, I guess.
01:14Except for the donkey.
01:17They made him all wrong. He didn't look like that at all.
01:20How do I know? Why, that donkey was my ancestor.
01:25Nestor. Yes, sir. Nestor.
01:27The long-eared Christmas donkey.
01:32Elves are supposed to carve me a more accurate version.
01:35But you know them elves.
01:38Oh, well, come on, I'll show you the rest.
01:42Here's where Comet sleeps, and Cupid, and Donner, and Blitzen.
01:47And, of course, you all know this feller.
01:50Everyone knows about Rudolph.
01:54Our fleet-footed friend from the north.
01:58Who lights Santa's way through the darkness.
02:02As he drives his sleigh back and forth.
02:08But there's someone else we should mention.
02:13If we want the whole story told.
02:17He carried the first gift of Christmas.
02:22More precious than diamonds or gold.
02:26Oh, well, come on, I'll show you the rest.
03:14You want to know more about Nestor?
03:16Can't say I blame you.
03:18Well, it all happened a long, long, long, long time ago.
03:24When the great Roman Empire stretched from the land south of the Mediterranean
03:28to the wild countries of the North Sea.
03:34And it was in these frigid climes in a crude stable on the farm of Olaf,
03:38the donkey breeder, that Nestor lived with his mother.
03:42Oh, no food for you, long ears.
03:45You don't earn your keep, always tripping over your ears and smashing things.
03:55There's nothing he can do.
03:58You can have dinner.
04:01You earn your keep.
04:03Come, Thor.
04:05There's enough for both of us, my dear.
04:08Oh, no, I'm really not hungry.
04:15Ears, Nestor.
04:17Those ears.
04:19Longest god-earned ears ever grew on a donkey.
04:24Yes, sir, from the day he took his first step,
04:27those ears got him into one pickle after another.
04:31Nestor was a donkey who seldom left her plate
04:36Cause no one ever used him in the stable where he stayed.
04:43Everybody teased him, and the other donkeys, too.
04:48They said, look at little Nestor, there's nothing he can do.
04:54Look at little Nestor, he's got ears that drag the ground.
05:00They whispered as they mocked him, but he heard every sound.
05:06Nestor's heart was broken, and his eyes were full of tears.
05:12If only there was something he could do about his ears.
05:26Now, in the meanest part of the year,
05:29when the daylight was as short as the stub of a candle,
05:32it was the custom on the longest night of winter
05:34to hold a celebration.
05:37And this happy time was called the winter solstice.
05:41Simple gifts were exchanged.
05:43Nestor's mother gave him a bright pair of stockings
05:46Olaf's wife had thrown away.
05:47It was a beautiful time, full of peace and goodwill,
05:52while the others were even friendly to Nestor.
05:55Sorry if I made you feel bad, Nestor.
06:00This is the best day ever.
06:02I'll never forget it.
06:06And when the celebration was over,
06:08they all fell into a deep and contented sleep.
06:12Except for Nestor, who, tired as he was,
06:15was just too excited to go to sleep.
06:26Where are the blazes are they?
06:29What's happening?
06:31What's going on?
06:34The Emperor needs donkeys.
06:36Strong, young donkeys.
06:38Show them to me.
06:40This way, sir.
06:42I've got several fine coats.
06:45He was a soldier from the Imperial Roman Army.
06:49Beasts of burden were needed in the Southlands.
06:53Fine young specimens, aren't they?
06:56They'll do.
06:59You two.
07:09What's he doing?
07:11Taking us away.
07:14Away?
07:15No.
07:16Mama.
07:17Come back here, you.
07:22What the blazes?
07:25Those ears.
07:27They're so long, they drag the ground.
07:29You try to cheat the Emperor.
07:32You would sell him imperfect misfits?
07:36You can have them for nothing.
07:38Free.
07:39I'll teach you.
07:41I'll have them all for nothing.
07:45And you can keep little droopy ears.
07:53Forward, slaves.
07:54To the glory of the Roman Empire.
08:03You.
08:04Look what you've done to me.
08:06No young donkeys.
08:08No silver coins.
08:11I'm a pauper.
08:15Blast you.
08:24I'm done with you.
08:27Out.
08:31No.
08:33Nestor.
08:34My son.
08:36I don't care if the storm freezes you.
08:40Get out and never come back.
08:52Come back.
08:55You.
08:56Come back.
08:56Get out and never come back.
09:01Get out.
09:02Come back.
09:02Blast you.
09:04Yeah.
09:10Nestor.
09:13Nestor.
09:16Nester!
09:20Nester, answer me!
09:23Nester!
09:26Nester?
09:31Momma?
09:33So called Momma?
09:36No more, my darling.
09:38Now we must be brave.
09:41Uh-huh.
09:41Remember that. Whatever happens, you must be brave.
09:49Finding a sheltered spot, Nestor's mama dug away the snow until she came to the winter grass underneath.
09:56Lie in there, Nestor.
09:58But, Mama...
09:59Do as you're told, Nestor.
10:01Yes, Mama.
10:04The grass was cold and hard, but better than the icy snow.
10:08And Nestor's mama covered his entire body with her own, except for...
10:14Ears, Nestor.
10:17Yes, Mama.
10:22By morning, the storm had gone.
10:24And as savagery often does, it left beauty in its wake.
10:28The good lord sometimes works in strange ways.
10:32The love of Nestor's mother had saved him.
10:35But in saving Nestor, she had allowed the storm to take her.
10:40And she was gone forever.
10:48Ears, Nestor.
10:54And now, Nestor was all alone.
11:04Well, Nestor was on his own.
11:07But he survived that long winter, moving constantly southward through the great dark, barren forests.
11:16Oh, my bother.
11:19What's the use?
11:20What good am I, anyway?
11:22These stupid ears.
11:28It was then that Nestor's ears, which were as sensitive as they were long, heard the first whispers.
11:39A little girl?
11:42No, you couldn't be a real little girl.
11:45You'd be frozen.
11:48Are those wings?
11:50Yes, wings.
11:52Do you like them?
11:52Who are you?
11:54It's not who I am.
11:55It's what I am.
11:57Do you know what I am?
11:58A cherub.
12:00Hmm?
12:00Cherub?
12:01We're supposed to be inspiring.
12:03You are?
12:05Angels inspire humans.
12:06And cherubs inspire animals.
12:09You do?
12:10Whoops.
12:11I fell off a cloud and spoiled everything.
12:13My name is Tilly.
12:16Now, then, it's up to me to guide you and see that you do what you're supposed to do.
12:21What am I supposed to do?
12:25Your ears can do a wondrous thing no other ears can do.
12:29The sounds they hear will guide you on a path that's straight and true.
12:33And you will save another as your mother once saved you.
12:38I don't think these silly ears can do anything wondrous like you say.
12:43But I guess if that's why Mama did what she did, I should follow you.
12:47That's right.
12:48Come on.
12:49But where are we going?
12:51Oh.
12:52Oh, I can never remember names.
12:56Wrote it on my wing.
12:58Bethlehem.
13:00Bethlehem?
13:01Where's that?
13:02Far away.
13:04Across many lands and over the sea.
13:07But I'll get you there.
13:08Oh, I don't want to go that far away.
13:12He wants you to.
13:14You know.
13:16Oh.
13:17Mm-hmm.
13:19Come on now.
13:21And so they started off on their long, long journey.
13:25Nestor could tell till he was a real friend
13:27because she was the only one who didn't make him cry by laughing at his ears.
13:32Don't laugh and make somebody cry.
13:40Don't make it rain from a sunny sky.
13:45Sometimes a little holdin' in that sly escaping grin.
13:56Though funny it may be, we'll show some sympathy.
14:03Don't laugh and make somebody cry.
14:11A little love is not a lie.
14:17A little love is not a lie.
14:19If roads turned suddenly askew and someone laughed at you, you'd never laugh again.
14:31Then you'd understand it then.
14:39Don't laugh and make somebody cry.
15:10Don't laugh and make somebody cry.
15:22And here we are.
15:24Is this Bethlehem?
15:27Almost.
15:28Why don't we go all the way there?
15:30Oh, it's not time yet.
15:31You are to stay here until it's the proper time.
15:34How will I know?
15:35You'll know.
15:35You'll know.
15:36Goodbye for a while.
15:38Where are you going?
15:40Home.
15:46Nestor was on his own again.
15:48He was taken in by a desert merchant, a dealer in animals and brought to a stable filled with
15:54camels and donkeys.
15:55But he was so funny looking, nobody wanted to buy him.
15:59Yeah, it was the same old story.
16:03Nestor was the donkey who seldom laughed or played.
16:08Cause no one ever used him in the stable where he stayed.
16:15All the camels teased him and the other donkeys too.
16:20They said, look at little Nestor, there's nothing he can do.
16:27Look at little Nestor, he's got ears that drag the ground.
16:32They whispered as they mocked him, but he heard every sound.
16:39Nestor's heart was broken and his eyes were full of tears.
16:44If only there was something he could do about his ears.
16:56I'd sure like to get out of this place.
16:59Oh, Tilly, when will it be time to go to Bethlehem?
17:04Uh, Bethlehem?
17:06Huh?
17:08You wish to buy a donkey to take you all the way to Bethlehem?
17:13I have many fine specimens.
17:17Come.
17:20One dark night, two strangers gave Nestor a surprise.
17:26They chose him from all others for they loved his gentle eyes.
17:32The man was called by Joseph and Mary was his bride.
17:38She needed help to Bethlehem and Nestor's back to ride.
17:49Him?
17:51You actually want him?
17:56Is he for sale?
17:58Is he for sale?
18:02Oh, he's not cheap.
18:05Long ears are all in style this season, sir.
18:09Come, Joseph.
18:10We have not much money.
18:12But, Mary, you are heavy with child.
18:15You cannot walk.
18:18Oh, take him.
18:20A gift.
18:22He's yours.
18:23Oh, thank you, sir.
18:25May God bless you.
18:27Now, what made me do that?
18:34And Nestor, who just a minute before was about to give up,
18:38suddenly had the strength to carry Mary all the way to Bethlehem.
18:43They traveled through the desert, but hadn't gone too far.
18:49When winter clouds no longer let them see their guiding star.
19:00It was a terrible sandstorm.
19:03Nestor realized he could save himself by bolting and running for shelter.
19:07But then his ears, his very special ears, heard.
19:10Whispers?
19:13Tilly!
19:14That little poem of hers.
19:17Your ears can do a wondrous thing no other ears can do.
19:22The sounds they hear will guide you on a path that's straight and true.
19:27And you will save another as your mother once saved you.
19:32I will guide you now, Nestor.
19:36That voice!
19:38Not Tilly.
19:39You are?
19:41You are?
19:42You are?
19:43You are?
19:43Listen to the angels and follow.
19:47I will follow them, Mother.
19:50You will hear.
19:51You will hear a choir of angels.
19:55Follow the sound of the angels.
19:59A means of a hummingbird, Father.
20:01Ami, nes, luke in, lest, luke in lest.
20:09Nestor had secret only he could hear the sound,
20:14As the angels gave directions to the ears that dragged the ground.
20:20And guided by the angels, he gently carried Mary through the blinding storm.
20:26His great ear is protecting her and the precious miracle within her.
20:32And as suddenly as it came up, the storm went away.
20:36And when the desert sand settled...
20:39Look!
20:42Bethlehem, you've gotten us through.
20:45Thank you. Thank you, little donkey.
20:50Nestor took them right into Bethlehem, crowded with the multitudes come for the Roman census.
20:56And as you know, all the inns were full up.
20:59Nestor didn't know what to do.
21:01And then he thought back.
21:02And he remembered how warm and beautiful a stable could be for a baby when his mother was close.
21:11And so it was that Nestor found the manger where they stayed.
21:18Where kings and wise men bowed before a baby where he lay.
21:26Mary bore our Savior.
21:30Nestor brought them there.
21:33A gift of love from God above for all the world to share.
21:53And when Nestor returned, he really was a hero.
21:58Look at little Nestor.
22:01He's got ears that drag the ground.
22:03They shouted as they praised him, and his friends all gathered round.
22:10Nestor's heart was happy, and his eyes held no more tears.
22:15Now all the world knows Nestor for his laughter and his ears.
22:21Though, Rudolph, I just love you, I know you'd want it said.
22:28Nestor's ears are lovely as a reindeer's nose is red.
22:33So, children, if you're happy when you trim your Christmas trees,
22:39You might thank little donkey whose ears come to his knees.
22:51Look at little Nestor, he's got ears that drag the ground.
22:56They shouted as they praised him, and his friends all gathered round.
23:03Nestor's heart was happy, and his eyes held no more tears.
23:08But now all the world knows Nestor for his laughter and his ears.
23:17Merry Christmas!
24:04Merry Christmas!
