(Grandpa hums)

(Sean and Seamus laugh)

- I'm going to get you.

You can run but you can't hide.

(Sean and Seamus laugh)

- Woah! (Sean and Seamus laugh)

- Ho, you're it again.

- Hey, no tag back until you count to ten.

- Jakers, you two have more energy

than a couple of monkeys in a banana shop.

(Sean and Seamus laugh)

- [Sean] Oh, you're so slow.

- How about using some of that energy

for something useful for a change.

- Like what, Grandpa?

- Well now, how about delivering these

over to our neighbor Mrs. Jenson.

- Woah, look at all those carrots.

- How much is she paying you for them, Grandpa?

- Paying me?

Not a single penny.

- So you're not getting anything?

- Of course, I will.

I'll be getting that wonderful feeling you get

when you do something nice for someone.

- Oh yeah, that.

- Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Sean and I do nice stuff for people sometimes.

- Do you, now?

- [Sean and Seamus] Mm-hmm (affirmative).

- Of course, you do.

I think I was just about your age

when I did something really special

and nice for my father,

and it made me feel better

than an ice-cold drink on a hot summer day.

It all started when we were out

on a daring and dangerous jungle safari.

(dramatic music) (chickens clucking)

- Ferocious lions, straight ahead.

- Oh, they look mighty fierce all right.

- It's not lions were looking for today, boys.

It's Gigantica, the elephant of legends.

- Right, let's keep looking then.

(happy, lazy music)

- Well, Finnegan,

it seems like we've brought back more than we left with.

Ah, Mrs. Winks had better turn this leftover milk

into some real nice butter.

Well, maybe we'll have better luck tomorrow.

(donkey brays)

- Oh, did you hear that?

I am telling you,

that was the sound of a giant elephant for sure.

- Uh, no.

It sounded like a zebra to me.

- No, it was an elephant.

- Uh, not if it was stripes maybe.

- Oh, goodness gracious,

these are all still full of milk.

- Oh, I'm afraid folks just didn't need much today.

- Oh, they haven't needed much all week.

If we don't start selling more milk soon.

- I know.

I won't be able to build that big castle

I promised you.

(Mrs. Winks laughs)

- Oh, now, dear.

I don't need a big castle.

A small one will do just fine, thank you.

Oh, Piggley,

your dad wants to build your mother a castle.

- Oh, do you think it will have a,

a drawbridge and everything?

- Didn't you hear?

There's not going to be a castle,

if my dad doesn't sell more milk.

- [Grandpa] Now, I didn't know at the time

that my dad was just teasing about building a castle,

but I did know

that he needed to sell more milk.

So, I set my mind on thinking of ways

to help him do just that.

(Ferny hums)

♪ Chocolate Chunkers, yummy yum

♪ Eating chocolate is such fun ♪

(Ferny laughs)

- I love chocolate.

- Would you look at this, boys?

My mother says the book will tell you

everything you need to know about selling things.

- This is brilliant, Dannan.

- What does it say, Piggley?

- Shh, I'm reading, amn't I?

(happy-go-lucky music)

(Ferny hums)

- Shh!

- Oh, sorry,

but you know, that jingle keeps running in me head,

makin' me want some chocolate.

♪ Chocolate chunkers, yummy yum

♪ Eatin' chocolate is such fun ♪

- Oh, (Ferny laughs) sorry.

- Hmm, it says here,

that people have to really need

whatever it is you're trying to sell to them.

- Hmm, well, that makes sense.

- Yeah, but how do you make people need more milk?

- Well, uh, people need what they don't have,

so um, we have to make sure all the folks in town

don't have milk.

- Oh.

How do we do that?

- That's a good question, Grandpa.

- Yes, it is, Sean,

and I had a great answer.

Also, I thought

all we had to do was drink up

all the milk that folks already had,

then they'd be sure to need more.

(happy-go-lucky music)

It sounded like a good idea at the time,

but there's only so much milk

a fellow can hold in one day.

Even Ferny.

(Ferny burps)

(Piggly, Ferny, and Dannan groan)

- Oh, Piggley.

It was a grand plan,

but I can't drink another drop of milk.

- Uh, I know.

I'm filled up all the way to me eyeballs.

(Piggley burps)

Excuse me.

- My belly is so full,

I can't even see my own feet.

- [Mrs. Winks] Piggley, time for lunch now, darlin'.

- Oh, oh, oh, Grandpa,

I know what you could have done.

- And what would that be, Sean?

- You could've collected all the milk in town

and loaded it into one of those big airplanes

they use to fight forest fires,

then you wouldn't have to drink the milk.

You could've just used it to help put out

big old forest fires.

- Only we didn't have fire-fighting

equipment in town, Sean.

- So, what did you do, Grandpa?

- Well, now,

we had to come up with a brand new plan,

and this one was a doozy.

(happy music)

- Dannan, read that part

about making something old seem new again.

- If you're trying to sell something

that everyone already has,

like milk,

try making your product new and different.

- Perfect,

it's just like Old Farmer Murphy

and his famous blue cow.

- Blue cow?

- Ah, now, Piggley,

I happen to know

that there's no such thing as a blue cow.

- Of course there is, well-known fact.

Old Farmer Murphy lived with his cow

on a tiny farm high atop a faraway peak.

This farm was so high

that even the sun couldn't reach it.

Now, well all know,

that nothing can grow without sun,

not even hay,

which is a shameful state of affairs for a farm.

(cow moos)

- [Dannan] So you're saying

there was nothin' growing up there, Piggley?

- [Piggley] Nothing but blueberries,

so that's what the cow ate,

and as time went on,

she began to turn blue.

- [Ferny] Oh, because she ate blueberries.

- [Piggley] And you know what came next?

- [Ferny and Dannan] What?

- [Piggley] Blue milk.

- Blue milk?

- Blue milk?

- Blue, it was.

- And that milk tasted like the sweetest blueberries

that ever grew.

From that, the farmer made blueberry ice cream,

blueberry cheesecake, a thousand things,

all of them blue.

- So that's where blue cheese comes from.

- Don't be silly, Dannan.

That's from France.

The point is, the farm sold his blue milk everywhere,

and that's what we want for our Raloo milk.

So our milk is going to taste like strawberries.

- Oh, Piggley, that's brilliant.

The cow will eat all these berries,

and that should give us strawberry milk.

- Now go on and eat up, cow.

Come on, eat it all now.

(happy music)

Dannan, is it strawberry yet?

- Uh, not yet, Piggley.

- Eh, takes a few minutes for the strawberry flavor

to get all the way down there.

How 'bout now, Dannan?

Is the milk strawberry yet?

- Not yet, Piggley.

- Let's go have a look, Ferny.

- Oh, okay.

- Nope, no strawberry milk yet, boys.

- Let me try, Dannan.

- She's all yours.

- Ah, did you hear that, Bernie?

Those kids are turning plain milk

into strawberry milk.

Now, that's what I call a real improvement.

You know, Bernie,

I bet some of you guys have been wondering

why a handsome sheep like me

was brought to Ireland in the first place?

Improvement,

I was brought here to improve this flock,

to make it better,

and how do I do that, you may ask?

Or you may not ask.

With color, that's right.

What better way to improve you guys

than to add a little natural color to your wool.

Can't you just see it?

Sheep with green wool, blue wool,

maybe some stripes, checks.

I've always liked argyle.

Wiley, once again your brilliant mind is topped

only by your handsome, gorgeous good looks.

Come on, Bernie,

we got work to do.

(Ferny hums)

(Ferny and Dannan hum)

♪ Eating chocolate is such fun ♪

- Hey, hey, hey,

now look what you've gone and done, Ferny.

Now I'm humming that crazy jingle of yours

right along with you.

- Kinda catchy, isn't it?

(Ferny laughs)

- It certainly is.

It makes me wish

I had a Chocolate Chunkers chocolate bar right now.

- Jakers, that's it.

- Oh, we have strawberry milk?

- Eh, forget strawberries.

I know a better way to sell my dad's milk.

- Well, stop your chin-wagging

and tell us what it is, Piggley.

- Oh, a jingle,

just like the one that Ferny's been humming all day.

- That's what made me want a whole lot of chocolate bars.

- A jingle about milk would make

everyone want a whole lot of milk.

- Let's go sell some milk.

- [Grandpa] Quick as a wink,

we were on our way into town

to put our great plan into action.

do you get sleepy in the middle of the day?

Piggley Winks of Raloo Farm,

drink a nice, tall glass of Raloo milk.

It's sure to make ya.

an ode to milk.

- Thank you, Piggley.

(Dannan clears throat)

Thank you, cows, who work hard to please,

givin' us milk, butter, and smelly cheese,

but of these gifts, milk is the best.

It helps small ones grow,

and big ones rest.

- Ah, I do love a mug of warm milk at bedtime.

- So friends, let brittle bones not be your fate.

Drink Raloo milk before it's

(Dannan gasps) too late.

(Villagers gasp)

- Don't worry, folks.

All she needs to revive her is

a big glass of Raloo Farms milk.

(Dannan slurps)

(Irish jig music)

- Now, that's a mighty fine glass of milk.

- Yay, bravo! (villagers applaud and cheer)

- Come now,

come have a taste of this delicious milk

from Raloo farm.

(villagers exclaim and mumble)

- Okay, the colorful sheep improvement project

has not been going that well.

In fact, I wouldn't be out of line to say,

it stinks.

Painting Fluffy made his wool stiff and weird,

so we had to shave Fluffy,

who, until his wool grows back,

will now be known as Skimp.

So now, we go to Plan C,

where we all become a nice, bright, emerald green.

Okay, here we go, sheep.

Quell, quell the enthusiasm.

Everybody down, everybody down.

Now we roll, roll, roll in the grass

until you're a beautiful grass-stained green.

It's safe.

It's natural.

It is green.

(happy music)

(Wiley cries out)

You know, come to think of it,

white is a very nice color, too,

goes with everything,

hardly hurts at all.

(Mr. Hornsby groans)

Uh, I'm sorry, Mr. Hornsby.

- Mm, oh, this milk is absolutely delicious, Piggley.

I'd like to order three gallons delivered to the school

every morning, please, for all my students.

- Oh, well, I'd like some, too.

- Dad, dad,

wait til you see what we've done today.

Ferny, Dannan, and me self,

we're in the milk-selling business.

- And we did real well, too.

- Oh, yeah, they loved us, they did.

- Three pints of milk for Miss Applebee,

four for Mrs. Gustan,

and three gallons for Mr. Hornsby?

Every day?

- Yeah, and Miss Nanny says

she wants two milk cans full a week

to sell in the shop.

- Piggley, what have you done?

- Well, they're milk orders.

- Now, now you and Mrs. Winks can build your castle.

- Dad, uh,

it was okay for us to sell the milk, wasn't it?

Well, yes, Piggley, it was okay.

It was very okay.

This is a very special thing you've done for me.

Thank you, Dannan,

Ferny,

and you, son.

I don't know when I've been more proud of you.

Come on, now,

let's all go into the house

and have some pie,

and a nice, tall glass of delicious Raloo milk.

we'll deliver those carrots for you.

- Have you got anything else you want us to deliver?

- Well, now, I think I could come up with a few things.

- I know, let's get our wagon, Seamus.

We can carry more stuff in it.

- Yeah, we can decorate it like a delivery truck.
