[00:05.55]Chapter 3 The Ponies [00:11.23]On October 27th, [00:13.77]the Terra Nova arrived in Wellington,New Zealand． [00:19.35]When Scott came off the ship, [00:22.06]a newspaper man walked up to him． [00:26.02]'Captain Scott!Captain Scott! [00:29.23]Can I talk to you,please!'he said． [00:33.70]Scott stopped and smiled． [00:36.14]'Yes,of course,'he said． [00:40.00]'What do you want to know?' [00:43.07]'Are you going to win?'the man asked． [00:46.77]'Win?'Scott asked．'Win what?' [00:52.84]'Win the race to the South Pole, [00:55.37]of course,'the newspaper man said． [00:59.33]'It's a race between you and Amundsen,now． [01:04.12]Look at this!'He gave a newspaper to Scott [01:09.77]Scott looked at it． [01:12.59]It said：Fram races Scott to South pole. [01:18.93]"We are going to win." Says Amundsen. [01:24.06]Scott's face went white． [01:27.45]'Give me that!'he said． [01:31.41]He took the newspaper and read it carefully． [01:36.21]The newspaper man watched him,and waited． [01:40.91]'Well,Captain Scott,'he said at last． [01:45.61]'Who's going to win this race? [01:48.48]Tell me that!' [01:51.34]Scott looked at him angrily． [01:54.02]'This is stupid!'he said． [01:57.66]'It's not a race! [02:00.26]I came here to learn about the Antarctic- [02:05.02]I'm not interested in Amundsen,or in races! [02:11.03]'Then he walked back on-to his ship, [02:14.27]with the newspaper in his hand． [02:18.13]Later that day,he talked to his men． [02:24.38]He gave them the newspaper,and laughed． [02:29.31]'It doesn't matter,'he said． [02:32.68]'We're in front of Amundsen, [02:35.44]and we have more men, [02:37.71]and more money． [02:40.30]He has only eight men,and a lot of dogs． [02:45.07]I know about dogs- [02:48.28]they don't work in the Antarctic． [02:51.92]We have sixteen men and the new motor sledges- [02:57.12]they are much better． [02:59.50]And tomorrow the ponies are coming． [03:02.75]We need ponies,motor sledges, [03:06.04]and good strong British men-that's all． [03:11.26]Forget about Amundsen! [03:13.79]He's not important!' [03:17.40]Scott asked Oates to look after the ponies, [03:22.15]but he did not let Oates buy them． [03:26.36]When Oates first saw the ponies, [03:29.16]in New Zealand,he was very unhappy． [03:33.92]Most of the ponies were old, [03:36.95]and some of them were ill． [03:40.61]'They're beautiful ponies,Titus,'Scott said． [03:45.62]'They come from China-they're wonderful ponies!' [03:51.65]Oates looked at them angrily,and said nothing． [03:58.14]Then he asked：'Where is their food,Captain?' [04:04.03]'Here!'Scott opened a door． [04:07.95]Oates looked inside． [04:10.96]He thought for a minute． [04:13.69]'We need more food than this,Captain Scott! [04:18.69]These ponies are going to work in the coldest place on earth- [04:24.99]they need a lot of food-more than this!' [04:30.98]Scott smiled quietly． [04:34.80]'We can't take more food on this ship,Titus. [04:39.67]Where can we put it? [04:41.33]But it doesn't matter,old boy． [04:45.13]They're very strong ponies,you know． [04:48.67]The best ponies on earth．' [04:54.78]Later that night,Oates wrote a letter to his mother． [05:00.10]There are nineteen ponies on the Terra Nova now,he wrote． [05:07.29]All the penies are in a small room at the front of the ship． [05:13.32]We eat our food in the room under the ponies, [05:18.68]so our table is often wet and dirty． [05:23.96]Scott makes a lot of mistakes,I think, [05:28.96]and Antarctica is a very dangerous place．
