(calming folk music)

- Grandpa!

- Grandpa!

- [Both] Happy St. Patrick's Day!

- And a happy St. Paddy's Day to you too!

- We had shamrock cookies at school today.

We brought you some.

- (chuckling) Well now, it looks like the leprechauns

have been nibbling at them, hm.

- Oh, yeah.

We kinda got hungry on the way home.

- Grandpa, does St. Patrick's Day make you wish

you were back in Ireland?

- (chuckling) Well now, while I was a young lad,

we didn't celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Ireland

the way you celebrate it here.

- No cookies?

- No parties?

- No kidding.

- Grandpa?

Do you think you'd ever leave us and go back to Ireland?

- Now Seamus, how could I ever think

of leaving you and your brother?

Let's see.

And once, back when I was a cheeky young lad

living on Raloo farm...

(car engine purring)

(gentle guitar music)

- Papa!

I'm going to school now!

- Wait, wait, Fernandito, come and see.

I got a birthday card from your Aunt Amalia this morning.

She sent me some beautiful photographs.

- Ohh.

Where's that, Papa?

- [Don Toro] That is Madrid.

That is Valencia.

- That's where you were born, right Papa?

- That's right.

It's very beautiful there.

And there are fiestas with music and dance,

and the most wonderful food.

(smooching) Muy deliciosa!

(gentle guitar music)

- Do you miss Spain?

- Si, sometimes I do.

So, uh, what do you want for your birthday, Papa?

- Ah, this year, I think we'll do things differently.

This year, I have a surprise for you on my birthday.

- (chuckles) Janey Mack!

For me?

What is it?

- (chuckling) Well, if I tell you,

it will not be a surprise.

- [Piggley] Ferny!

- [Dannan] Ferny, Ferny, Ferny!

- Now, now, now, now, you'd better run

or you'll be late for school.

- Adios Papa, goodbye!

- Hasta luego, nino.

- [Piggley] Okay Ferny, what is this called in Spanish?

(Piggley growling)

- That's easy.

You're an oso, a bear.

- Oh, how about this?

(Dannan neighing)

- Oh, that was a very good caballo, horse.

- Do you know this one?

(Piggley clucking)

- Well, you're either un pollito, a little chicken,

or you got a bee in your undies.

(all laughing)

♪ bluebirds sitting on the fence

Oh, Millie's skipping rope.

Let's go have a look.

♪ Up and down and along the line

♪ Brightly preened and looking fine

♪ Count one, two, three, four, five

- Seis, siete, ocho, nueve, diez.

- Hey Ferny, how come you used all those funny words

to count with?

- They aren't funny words, Hector.

They're Spanish words!

- That's right.

I'm practicing for me dad's birthday on Saturday.

He's really been missing Spain lately,

so I'm going to try and speak nothing but Spanish

for the whole day.

- Well, that's a beautiful gift, Ferny.

- Come on, Piggley Dinks, let's go and play some marbles.

If Ferny's dad misses Spain so much,

maybe he should just move back there.

(birds chirping)

- (gasping) Ferny's dad might move back to Spain?

- Fergal, come on!

It's your turn to skip!

(Fergal's skips springing)

- Katrina, did you know that Ferny's dad

might be movin' back to Spain soon?

- What? (solemn music)

What are you talking about, Fergal?

Did you hear that, Millie?

Ferny's dad is moving back to Spain!

- (gasping) Oh no!

Is Ferny going with him?

- Well, he can't stay here by himself now, can he?

- Oh, I've have to talk to Ferny!

(piano glissando music)

- Ha!

Double hex, you'll miss!

- No good, I've got King's X.

- Piggley! (Piggley grunting)

Where's Ferny?

- Jakers, Millie, you made me miss me sh*t!

- Piggley!

How can you worry about marbles

when Ferny is moving back to Spain!

- Ferny is moving?

- That's what Katrina told me.

- That can't be true, Ferny would've told me.

(Ferny laughing)

- Ferny! - Ferny, wait!

- Oh, what is it, Piggley?

What's the matter?

- Are ya leaving us, Ferny, are ya?

- No, not really.

I'm just going into the school.

- Ferny, are you and your dad moving back to Spain?

- Janey Mack, course I'm not moving!

Why would me dad surprise me with something like (gasping)?

Oh no.

- What is it, Ferny?

- My dad did say he had a surprise for me on Saturday.

You don't think--

- Hope not, Ferny, I really hope not.

(sheep bleating) (jazzy music)

- What a great day for a stroll.

I'm just having a great time strolling!

Look at me, just strolling along.

And, tag, you're it!

(intense music)

(Wiley panting)

Hey!

I tagged you!

You're it.

Come on, come on, it's tag!

Everybody knows how to play tag.

Look, I can't see you.

You could sneak up on me and tag, I'm it.

(low violin music) (sheep grunting)

Oh, I get it.

You're trying to trick me.

You think I'll give up and walk back there, and whammo,

Birney tags me.

Well, I'm not falling for it.

I am not gonna be it.

(comedic music)

(Ferny panting) (piano music)

- (panting) Papa!

Papa!

(gasping) You're packing me, clothes.

- (chuckling) Son, you caught me.

This is part of your surprise.

- We're going someplace?

- Si.

- Where are we going?

- (chuckles) Ah, that surprise I'm keeping for Saturday,

on my birthday.

- Uh, Papa,

can I go and play at Piggley's, until suppertime?

- Of course, but don't make any plans for the weekend.

Remember the surprise.

(solemn music)

(pencil scribbling)

- There, I'm finished with me homework at last.

- [Ferny] Piggley!

(Piggley gasping)

- [Dannan] Hey, Piggley!

- Good timing lads, the homework is done,

so we can play until--

- There's no time to play, Piggley.

We've got big, big, big, big troubles!

- Oh Piggley, it's true.

My dad really is moving us back to Spain.

- Wait there Ferny, I'll be right out.

(melancholy music)

- Are you absolutely sure about this, Ferny?

Did your dad tell you that?

- He's packing me bag for the train, Dannan,

and he said we were leaving this Saturday.

- You can't go, Ferny.

We've got to do something!

- What can we do, Piggley?

Once a grown-up is ready to go, they just, go.

- Well, we could, umm, make sure that

Don Toro is not ready to go.

- What do you mean, Piggley?

- I mean, what if your dad had so much work to do,

that he couldn't leave?

- Hoo-hoo, that could work!

- Oh, it could.

Me dad is very responsible about

getting all his work done, you know.

- Okay then lads, lets's get busy and make Don Toro busy.

(hopeful music)

(donkey braying)

- [Grandpa Piggley] It all started off innocent enough.

(hammer clanking)

- (sighing) It will be nice to get away.

(metal hissing)

- Papa?

- You're back so soon, Fernando.

It is not even suppertime.

- I have good news, Papa.

Piggley and Dannon need horseshoes!

(triumphant music) (donkeys braying)

- Oh yeah, lots and lots of horseshoes.

- Hundreds of them.

- Ey, ey, ey, ey, don't shove now!

Hey, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey!

Come, on, Finnegan!

(slide whistle tune) (Dannan crashing)

- It'll take two weeks to make shoes for all these donkeys,

won't it, Don Toro?

(donkeys braying)

- Maybe even years!

- (chuckling) No.

Only a few minutes, I think. (horse neighing)

- What?

- What?

- What, what, what?

(donkey bonking)

Why is it that not one of us knew that donkeys

don't wear horseshoes?

- Oh, I guess that's why they don't call them donkeyshoes.

- At least the horse is happy.

(triumphant music) (hooves clopping)

(horseshoes tinkling)

(whimsical music)

(slide whistle tune)

(xylophone tune)

- (grunting) It's true, Dad.

Don Toro's going back to Spain,

and he's taking Ferny with him.

- Don Toro's my friend, Piggley.

(hay thudding)

He would've said something to me if he was leaving.

- Ferny caught him packing a suitcase, Dad.

It's all a big surprise for Saturday.

(hay thudding)

- Well then, I guess we'll just have to wait and see

what happens, won't we?

- Dad, would you ever leave Ireland?

- Well, I'd never say never, Piggley,

but if I did leave, I'd make sure to bring a bit

of it with me, so I wouldn't miss it too much.

- Jakers!

That's it!

I know just what--

- Ahh, another big Piggley idea, is it now?

(sighs) Well, whatever it is, it's gonna have

to wait till morning, son.

(birds tweeting)

- Go ahead, pretend you're asleep.

I'm not falling for that old trick.

Nope, not me.

Not me, I'm not.

(quick slide whistle tune) (xylophone tune)

I'm up, I'm up!

(comedic music)

(violin music)

(rooster crowing)

(Piggley knocking) - Dannan, Dannan, get up!

I have to talk to you!

(door creaking)

- Piggley, you wouldn't put a dog out this

early in the morning.

- But, but Dannan. (rooster crowing)

(door slamming)

(door creaking)

I know how to keep Don Toro from going back to Spain!

- What are you going to do,

wake him up to he's too tired to go?

- I've got the perfect plan.

Don Toro's leaving 'cause he misses Spain, right?

- Right.

- So, instead of him going to Spain, we bring Spain to him!

- You, are sleep deprived.

- No I'm not.

Listen now, here's what we do.

- [Grandpa Piggley] It really was a brilliant plan,

even if I do say so meself.

We decided to create a bit of Spain

right there in the middle of Tara,

with music and dance and colorful banners

and delicious food.

We invited everyone in town to join us

for our special birthday party.

And Mr. McGandry even had a special surprise

for the evening, fireworks.

I myself spent hours practicing for the event.

(flamenco music)

(rooster crowing)

(bird chirping)

- Not, going, to be, it.

Must not, sleep.

(whimsical music)

(Wiley snoring) (downward music)

(bushes rustling)

(Wiley snoring)

(chains clinking)

- Feliz cumpleanos, Papa!

I made you lunch for your birthday.

- (chuckling) Thank you, Fernando.

- Did I say happy birthday right, feliz cumpleanos?

- Si, si, it was perfect.

- Oh, gracias.

- And look at this.

Bread, tomates, olive oil,

this is a Spanish dish.

(chuckling) You make me so happy mijo, mui feliz.

(mellow music)

And I will be even happier once we are on the train today.

(someone knocking on door)

- Conteste la perro, Papa.

Did I say it right?

Answer the door, Papa?

- Well, you told me to answer the dog,

but I know what you meant.

- [All] (chattering) Feliz cumpleanos, Don Toro (cheering)!

- Oh my!

Fernando, mijo, did you do this?

- It was me and Piggley and Dannan,

but everybody else helped too Papa (chuckling).

- We've got everything for a great birthday party,

Don Toro, everything.

Cakes, biscuits.

- Me grandma made that Spanish rice dish,

paella.

- And now, time for the traditional Spanish music

and dance of the flamenco.

(flamenco music) (spoons tapping)

- When did Piggley learn to play flamenco?

- Probably the same time Dannan learned to dance it.

(spoons rattling)

(heels tapping)

(sheep bleating)

- Okay, okay, I believe you, I believe you.

(Wiley flubbering)

I believe that you guys honestly, miraculously,

don't know how to play--

(Bernie bleating)

(whimsical music) (flock stomping)

I knew they were faking!

(flamenco music) (heels tapping)

- Ole! - Yi, yi yi!

- Ole! - Yi, yi yi!

(crowd cheering and clapping)

- (chuckling) Bravo, bravo, ninos!

- Did you really like it, Papa?

- I love it!

What a wonderful birthday.

It is a real fiesta.

Everything from Spain is here.

Well, everything but the annual Running of the--

- Sheep!

(upbeat flamenco music) (sheep bleating)

(kids clamoring)

(sheep bleating)

(kids clamoring)

- [Ferny] Here they come!

(sheep bleating)

- Even kids won't let me tag them.

(sheep bleating and stomping)

(upbeat flamenco music)

(kids laughing)

- You know, in Spain, it isn't sheep that run.

But I can't think of another time when I had

this much fun.

- (laughs) And Piggley was afraid you and Ferny

were leaving today.

- But we are leaving today.

- You mean Piggley was right?

- You're really leaving Tara?

- Si, we are leaving later this afternoon.

- Oh no!

Did you hear that, Piggley?

It didn't work.

Oh, we're still going.

- Oh Ferny.

I'm so sorry.

- I am as well, Ferny.

I'll really miss you.

- (sobbing) I'll never have friends like you again.

Oh!

- Mijo, why are you so upset?

- (sobbing) Because we're leaving, oh.

- But we're only going to Dublin for the weekend.

- I know, and (popping)...

What, huh?

I thought we were moving back to Spain.

- Why would we move back to Spain?

I have everything I could ever want right here.

(chuckling) Where did you get such an idea, Fernando?

Well, Piggley asked me if we were leaving, so I thought--

- I only asked because Millie said

that you were going back to Spain.

- But that's what Katrina told me.

- Well, Fergal told me Don Toro was moving,

so I thought Ferny was moving as well.

- I didn't say Don Toro was moving.

I said he might go back to Spain because Hector--

- All I said was that maybe Don Toro

should move back because--

- Because I said me dad was really missing Spain.

- Well now.

I see how you could have been confused.

But, why did none of you think about asking me

if I was moving back to Spain?

- Uh, right.

I suppose we should've done that.

- I suppose you should have (laughing).

(kids laughing)

- (laughing) How about that, Ferny?

We had you leaving for Spain for good,

when all you're doing is going up to Dublin

for the weekend (laughing).

- (giggling) He's only going to Dublin.

- (chuckling) Well now, perhaps he's not.

(Ferny chuckling)

- What do you mean, Papa?

- Well Fernando, what do you think would be more fun,

to go to Dublin, or to stay here at my birthday fiesta?

- (gasping) The fiesta, Papa, the fiesta!

(kids cheering) - [Dannon] Fiesta!

- [Grandpa Piggley] Oh, what a fabulous fiesta it was.

And as soon as it got dark,

Mr. McGandry gave Don Toro one last surprise.

(fireworks screeching and booming)

(children gasping)

(mellow music)

- [Crowd] Oh!

(fireworks screeching and booming)

(comedic music)

(mellow music)

- So I guess that means that you won't be leaving us

to go back to Ireland either, huh Grandpa?

- Of course not.

Just as Don Toro said,

"I have everything that I could ever want right here."
