Oh, no! Crummy old wind!
Dumb leaves!
Hey. What's this now?
Mom wants us to sweep off the driveway.
But it's too windy!
Every time we get the leaves and stuff into a pile, the wind comes along and [throws the leaves in the air] "boofa-shisha-bwuwuf"!
I quit!
Me too!
Are my ears deceiving me, or did I hear me own flesh and blood say the word "quit"?
Grandpa, when something's this impossible, you have to give up!
What's so great about fishing?
Well, now. On Lake Beghorra, ya never know what you might see. Like the time not too long ago when I was out fishin'. I wasn't catchin' so much as a cold. Then all of a sudden, I hooked the strangest thing. A hat! A red hat!
[Piggley and Ferny gasp.]
It wasn't too long before a fella came swimmin' by, lookin' for the hat.
[Dannan, Molly, and Sweets gasp.]
I gave it back to him, and... he thanked me kindly. Then he disappeared beneath the water.
[gasps] Janey Mack!
Then what happened, dad?
Well, now... The next thing I knew, like a streak of light, me boat was jettin' across the lake, sure I couldn't see what was pullin' me, then suddenly, I came to a stop. I was at a part of the lake I'd never seen before. Lookin' around, I thought I saw that fella with the red hat swimmin' away. Then, a fish tail as big as your side slapped the water! And he was gone.
Jakers! A... A merman!
Oh... A fishy fello.
Well, I can't say for sure, lads. All I know is that very place where me boat stopped... turned out to be the best fishin' spot of all time.
It's a long time sittin' in a boat, you know. Nowhere to go, nothin' to do.
We don't mind. [has Ferny's voice] We love sittin'. With... nothin' to do.
It's a lot of responsibility, you know.
We love responsibility.
I'll be leavin' at the crack of dawn.
We loooooove, looove gettin' up early! We'll all spend the night here, so we can leave first thing in the morning.
Oh! That's a good idea!
Oh, that's a great idea!
Now hold on a minute! I didn't say I'd take you!
[The kids start begging simultaneously.]
Pleeeaaaase?!
Oh, pleeeeaaaase?!
Pleeeaaase!
We'll see how things go in the morning.
[The kids cheer.]
[Wiley is bothered by his flock's loud snoring keeping him awake.]
Listen to that! It's like living in a buzz-saw factory! What I need is a glass of warm milk. Now that should put me out like a fuzzy light.
[Wiley places a cup under the cow's udders, and waits for it to produce milk, but nothing happens.]
Okay. Go. [getting impatient] Any time now. I'm waiting. [notices the cow's tail] Aha! She's got a handle! Like a pump! She's a pump cow!
[Wiley starts pulling the cow's tail up and down like a pump, but this causes the cow to angrily kick Wiley across the barn and into a large haystack.]
[from within] Got milk? No.
Ever smell a barn? They're not minty fresh.
[Ferny has reeled in Wiley's blanket, and Wiley is attempting to pull it back.]
Mother Nature is stealing my blanket! And she's very strong.
What's all this ruckus now?!
[Wiley wakes up with a start after being knocked unconscious against the wall from his tug-of-war with the kids over his blanket.]
[frightened] BAAAAAA! What--? Where--? Who--? Wow. What a dream I had. So vivid, so real, so... painful! Sleep is tough. Not sleeping is even tougher. What am I gonna do? Maybe I should sleep on it.
[Padrig catches the kids having a pillow fight.]
Oh... Uh, hi, dad. Um... I can explain. You see--
Explain to me how you think you can sit still on a boat, when you can't even stay in bed.
But we were getting our--
BED.
Yes, dad. [returns to bed with Ferny and Dannan]
And I don't want to have to come back here again. [leaves]
[angry] Janey Mack, Piggley, why did you start a pillow fight?!
I didn't start it!
Did so!
Did not!
Did so!
Did not!
Did so!
Did not!
Did so!
[covers the boys' mouths with her hands] STOOOOOOOP!!!
[Padrig hears the yelling.]
[angry] PIGGLEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!
[turns off the lamp] We're asleep!
[Molly wakes up and finds Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan making jam sandwiches.]
What are you all doin'?
Shhh!
We're makin' a picnic lunch for dad!
Why are you doin' that?
[Dannan, then Piggley, then Ferny take turns shushing Molly.]
Ugh... It's for the fishing trip tomorrow!
Oh...
I'll take Molly back to bed. You boys go ahead and make the sandwiches.
Will you make one for me too, Piggley? Pleeeaaase?
Okay, okay. Just be quiet!
Sweets, too? Pleeeease!
Ugh, fine...
[Dannan takes Molly back to bed.]
[to Ferny] Jakers...
[Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan think that they're not going fishing with Padrig due to their mischief tonight.]
Oh, well. We can always play "pirates" tomorrow, instead.
Pirates will be fun.
[Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan are outside catching grasshoppers as fishing bait for Padrig.]
[from inside] I wouldn't be hearin' children outside, would I?!
[heads back in with Ferny and Dannan] We're all asleep, dad!
[The next morning...]
Dad! Wait for us!
After playin' around all night, you think you deserve to go with me?
But, dad! We weren't playin'!
I'm sorry.
But the merman!
Maybe another time, Piggley.
[Just then, he notices the jar of grasshoppers that Piggley, Ferny, and Dannan caught last night.]
What's all this now?
[Padrig picks up the jar and examines it.]
So, is this what you rascals were up to last night? You know, you should all be out pickin' spuds today for keepin' everyone up all night. But I suppose your hearts were in the right place. So, are ya gonna stand there all mornin'... or are we going fishing?
[The kids cheer.]
