Piggley and Padrig in “The Gift”

So, uh, what did you want to talk to me about, then?

I want to talk to you about you hanging your hopes on an expensive gift, Piggley.

Oh, that.

Now, if you want to play in the snow, we have a pair of old skis.

Old skis? Dad, old skis can't compete with the Astro Space Sled! It's built for speed! [whooshing noises]

You're setting yourself up for a big disappointment, Piggley. I'm afraid that getting that sled is just not possible.

Of course it is! It's still in Miss Nanny's shop window!

Son, you are not getting that sled for your birthday.

But--

No buts. I'm sorry. I'll see you at supper.
