[Padrig finds Piggley getting swarmed by bugs.]
Careful with them fairies, son.
"Fairies"?! Why, they're just bugs, dad.
They could be bugs. Or they could be fairies in disguise. Fairies do that, you know.
[A bug flies on Piggley's hand.]
[disgusted] Agh... Nothin' this ugly could be a fairy, dad.
Careful. They don't care much now for insults. They just might turn you into a bug as well.
[One of the chickens pecks at Piggley's hand, eating the bug.]
Ow!
Fairies work in mysterious ways, you know.
[chuckles] Ah, you're just havin' me on. [beat] Aren'tcha?
[laughs] Why don'tcha run along and play now, Piggley? These chickens are fed enough.
Thanks, dad! [runs off, passing Elly] Bye, mam!
[to Padrig] Now, what do you want to tell the boy stories like that for?
[laughs] Don't worry. Not even Piggley would believe that one!
