🥶 Henry the Donkey vs. The Frozen Tundra (A 555-Word Script) ❄️
(Video opens with a beautiful but stark shot of the farm covered in fresh snow. The creator is heavily bundled up, shivering slightly.)
Creator (Shivering slightly but forcing cheer): Good morning, Internet! Welcome to Boggs Funny Farm, currently starring in its new, limited-time engagement: “The Ice Age.” Winter has officially found us! And let me tell you, “finding us” means finding every water pipe, every gate hinge, and most importantly, the one animal on the farm who absolutely refuses to participate in this seasonal nonsense: Henry the donkey.
(Transition: Creator stomps their feet to clear snow, then walks toward the donkey paddock. Henry is standing in his shelter, looking out with an expression of profound disapproval.)
Creator: Henry, my man! Look at the gorgeous snow! Isn’t it magical?
(Henry lets out a small, grumpy snort and takes one step further into his shelter.)
Creator (Whispering to the camera): See that? That’s his Silent Judgement. He’s communicating that this whole situation—the snow, the cold, my poor fashion choices—is beneath him.
Chore 1: The Great De-Icing Expedition
(Scene cuts to the creator struggling to chip ice out of a metal water trough using a heavy hammer or ice scraper.)
Creator (Straining): Every winter morning is dedicated to the epic battle against solid water. This isn’t just chopping ice; this is hand-to-hoof combat. It takes longer to give them water than it does to feed them an entire barrel of hay!
(Creator finally manages to break a large chunk of ice. They wipe their brow with a gloved hand.)
Creator (Voiceover, tired): And once it’s chipped, you have about three minutes before it starts forming a new layer. It’s a Sisyphean task, but the water must flow, especially for Henry, who will dramatically refuse to drink anything with even one tiny ice shard in it.
(Cuts to Henry watching the creator’s efforts from a distance, looking utterly unconcerned.)
Chore 2: The Hay Fortification
(The creator is hauling armloads of extra hay into Henry’s shelter.)
Creator: In winter, we don’t just feed the animals; we fortify them. Henry needs an extra thick bed to prevent his dainty donkey toes from getting chilly. And he needs enough extra hay to eat through the day and stay warm from the inside out.
(The creator accidentally bumps a large bale into the doorframe. Henry jumps dramatically inside the shelter.)
Creator (Scoffing): Oh, excuse me, your Highness! Didn’t mean to interrupt your crucial standing time. For a creature built for the rugged outdoors, he really enjoys acting like a delicate house pet during the cold months.
(The creator finishes piling the hay, making a warm, fluffy nest. Henry walks over, sniffs it skeptically, and then walks back to the far corner to stand on the dirt floor.)
Creator (Exasperated): No! Henry! That’s a five-star hay resort! Get in the bedding! What are you doing? He’s making a point, I swear. He’s deliberately avoiding the comfort I just provided.
The Winter Warm-Up Cuddle (Mandatory)
(The creator stands next to Henry, pulling a thick donkey blanket/rug over his back.)
Creator: Alright, buddy, whether you like it or not, you’re getting your winter wardrobe. This isn’t just fashion; it’s insulation. (Henry stands stiffly, enduring the blanketing process with visible reluctance.)
Creator (Rubbing Henry’s neck): Look at you! All bundled up and handsome! Ready to face the great white north! Now, a quick hug for warmth.
(The creator leans in and gives Henry a big, theatrical hug. Henry remains completely motionless for a moment, then lets out another loud, long “Hee-Haw” right into the creator’s ear.)
Creator (Pulling back, wincing): Okay, okay! Message received: Thank you for the hay, thank you for the water, but please take your frozen human enthusiasm elsewhere.
(The creator turns back to the camera, smiling through the cold.)
Creator: And that is life on #boggsfunnyfarm when the snow hits. It’s hard work, but seeing Henry safe (and slightly annoyed) makes it all worthwhile. Stay warm out there! #fyp #donkey #henry #fypシ
