0:02:08 > 0:02:10- Excellent! Come on, Sion.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Thanks, Tad-cu. - They've been complaining all day.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Whatever I do, they want to join in.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- That's part and parcel - of being the eldest child.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- I remember my sister Mali - following me everywhere.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Didn't it drive you mad?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Yes. Sometimes it drove me crazy.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- Talking of Mali, this parcel - came for you today from your aunt.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- For me? But it's not my birthday.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- It's an old diary - with a letter attached.
0:02:50 > 0:02:56- "Dear Nia, I know you enjoy Tad-cu's - stories about growing up in Ireland.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01- "It's time I shared - some of my stories with you too."
0:03:01 > 0:03:02- Cool!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Look at this drawing. - It's of Tyddyn Llan.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Well, look at that.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- I remember your Auntie Mali - drawing that picture...
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- ..when she was only four years old.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- You see, I began keeping a diary.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30- Because Mali wanted to copy - everything her big brother did...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- ..she started to keep a diary too.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- She was too young to write - so she drew pictures instead.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Look, Porchell, - it's a drawing of you.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- I look like a potato.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Potato!
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- Auntie Mali says, - "Lots of drawings in my diary...
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- "..are of my big brother Porchell."
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Because to me, he was - the greatest person in the world.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- He went to school to learn - about things I'd never dreamed of.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- He was the best - at every game we ever played.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- He helped out on the farm - single-handed.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- He was so big and clever, - I thought the world of him.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Well, I was quite fond of her too.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- It says that every drawing - in the diary tells a story.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- There you are - looking after the sheep.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Oh, yes, I remember.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- That was my first - responsible duty on the farm.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- I took it very seriously.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Dad told me how important it was...
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- ..to move the sheep - to fresh pasture every now and then.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Hold on, Tad-cu.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- I've already heard this story.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- I want to hear - Auntie Mali's version.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- When Dad made Porchell responsible - for the sheep, he was determined...
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- ..to be the best shepherd - in Ireland, and he was.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- It's obvious Auntie Mali - remembers things differently.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- She admired you so much. - You were her hero.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- Yes, well, perhaps we should read a - little more of what she has to say.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Although I loved - your grandfather dearly...
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- ..I have to admit, - he wasn't perfect.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- What? - What does she mean, not perfect?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Mali must have drawn this picture...
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- ..the year - she learnt to play the violin.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Just thinking about it - makes my ears ache!
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Mali, sweetheart, that was - wonderful, wasn't it, Padrig?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Yes. Delightful.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- No, it wasn't.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Of course it was, Porchell.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- If you say so.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Thank you, Porchell.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- You're welcome.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- You're welcome.- - Are you sure that's what you said?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- That's how I remember it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- This is how - Auntie Mali remembers it.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- Oh, Mali, sweetheart, that - was wonderful, wasn't it, Padrig?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Yes, it was delightful.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- It was awful, if you ask me.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- I've heard donkeys - make better noises.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- You'll be accused - of slaughtering music.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- I didn't say that.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34- But perhaps - that's how I made her feel.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39- Being an older brother or sister - is a big responsibility, isn't it?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Yes, it is.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Let's see what's on the next page.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- It's bound to be better.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- No need to explain that drawing.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- That was the time - Dad brought home a new bike.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Well, it was new to us, anyway.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- It took some effort to get it going - but I'm sure you'll like it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- What is it, Dad?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Take your time. Be patient.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11- Goodness me!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Goodness me!- - Here you go, Porchell.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20- My very own bike. How can I ever - thank you for such a wonderful gift?
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- Just looking after it would be - enough of a thank you, Porchell.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- I will, Mami. I promise.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Can you ride it?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Can you ride it?- - I was born to ride it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- One day - you'll learn to ride it too, Mali.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Not as good as me, but good enough.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- I'd like a bike.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- Don't worry. When you learn to ride, - you can always borrow mine.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47- I can?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- Any time when I'm not riding it, - it can be your bike.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- When the day comes when you can - ride it, I'll share it with you.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- You can borrow it any time. - We'd be equal partners.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- It'd be perfectly fair - because I'm such a kind boy.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- Hold on, Tad-cu. That's not - how Auntie Mali remembers it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- It took some effort to get it going - but I'm sure you'll like it.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- What is it, Dad?
0:10:22 > 0:10:23- Can I see?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Take your time. Be patient.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Goodness me!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- There you go, Porchell and Mali.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- This is for both of you.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Yippee!
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- The colour is great. - How did you know I wanted a bike?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Thank you. - This is the prettiest bike ever.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51- Ffyrgi and Dwynwen will like it too, - although they won't be riding it.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Look at the bell - it's so pretty!
0:10:56 > 0:11:02- Dadi and I know the pair of you - will enjoy the bike together.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Of course we will.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10- It's up to you to make sure - Mali gets to ride it half the time.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- Of course, - just as soon as she learns to ride.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18- Now I think about it...
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- ..perhaps Dad did say something - about it belonging to both of us.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- But to be fair, - Mali couldn't ride it then.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Tad-cu, you're - always telling us to share.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Yes, well, I never said - it was an easy thing to do.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Moving on.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- That's a drawing of you - riding the bike for the first time.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- I remember it - as if it were yesterday.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- I added - my own personal touch to the bike.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Will you teach me to ride the bike?
0:12:00 > 0:12:05- Of course. The best way to learn - is to watch me ride.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- For quite some time.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- Sit here and I'll show you - how it's done, then it's your turn.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- That sounds fantastic, Porchell.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- I couldn't wait - to show my friends my new bike.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Oh, Porchell!
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- # We're rolling, rolling, rolling
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- # Along the... # - Oh, hello Marged. Hello, Ceridwen.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14- Look at that!
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- What a wonderful sight!
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- This is the business!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Hello!
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Porchell!
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- We had a fantastic time.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- But you've forgotten something.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Huh?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- No, I haven't forgotten anything.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- No, I haven't forgotten anything.- - What about Auntie Mali?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- You left her on the farm.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Goodness me, so I did!
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- Porchell told me - to wait my turn, so I waited.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- And waited and waited.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- But Porchell never did come back.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- He had better things to do - than be with me.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Mali, supper!
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Now then...
0:14:25 > 0:14:29- ..that's another memory - I'm not proud of, Nia.
0:14:29 > 0:14:35- It's alright, Tad-cu. Sometimes I - forget about my little brothers too.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Let's continue reading.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- I'd like to hear - what else Auntie Mali has to say.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Some weeks later...
0:14:43 > 0:14:48- ..and although I'd studied Porchell - carefully every day...
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- ..I still didn't know - how to ride a bike.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- The only time - I could get my hands on the bike...
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- ..was when Porchell was at school.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- There you go, Mali. - It's yours until I get back.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Thanks, Porchell. - Enjoy school today.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Enjoy school? Very funny, Mali!
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Will you teach me - to ride the bike, please?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- I'd like to but I'm up to my eyes - in jam making today.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Oh, alright.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Will you teach me to ride the bike?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22- Will you teach me to ride the bike?- - Sorry, dear...
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- ..I have to repair the tractor.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- Porchell will teach you later. - Will you be OK until then?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- I'm home!
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- Now will you teach me to ride?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- Now will you teach me to ride?- - Well, I would...
0:16:45 > 0:16:50- ..but I can't miss my radio show - - Porchell Tryfan the Detective.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- Pity you hadn't studied me.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- It was - one of those cases with no leads.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03- I had to follow my instinct.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Being a detective - requires you to do that sometimes.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11- My instinct was telling me - that something was wrong.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- So I decided to pay him a visit.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Aaaargh!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- It's just a little graze, Mali.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Is that better?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- Is that better?- - No.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- You'll be OK, you can walk. Some day - you'll be able to ride that bike.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43- No, I won't. I've tried - to ride the bike but I can't.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- I can't get on it - and I can't stay on it.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- I never want to ride it again.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Remember when you - couldn't tie your shoe laces?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- It was hard to begin with, - wasn't it?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- And it took you a while - to learn the alphabet.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- And now I can - - A, B, C, Ch, Ff, P...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- ..3, 1, T, Th, W, Y.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11- You see? You got most of it right - because you didn't give up.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- But I can't ride a bike. - I know I can't.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19- If you're determined enough, - you can do whatever you want.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Are you sure? You really think so?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- As sure as I'm standing here.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31- With Porchell's help, I decided - to try riding the bike again.
0:18:40 > 0:18:41- Ready?
0:18:41 > 0:18:42- Ready?- - Ready!
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- Go!
0:18:57 > 0:18:58- I'm fine!
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Turn, Mali! Turn! Turn the wheel!
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Brakes! The brakes!
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Look at me, I'm riding the bike!
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Oh, Porchell!
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- You've done it! Well done, Mali!
0:19:48 > 0:19:48- Mali!
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- Mali!- - Dear Mali!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Porchell taught me - how to ride the bike.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- You taught yourself. - All I did was help.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- I want another go...
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- ..now I can do it myself.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- It looks as if - it'll be Mali's turn for a while.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- That's alright, - she needs the practice.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- Porchell taught me so much that day.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Yes, he taught me - how to ride a bike...
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- ..but he also taught me that I - could do anything I set my mind to.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- That lesson I learnt from - my big brother has stayed with me...
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- ..and I thank him for that.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- That's the end.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- I want to see more.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- There is more. - Mali had lots of diaries.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- And lots of adventures.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- Although they drive me crazy...
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- ..I think I'll be nicer - to Sion and Dafydd from now on.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11- Maybe you could even show them - how to spin the ball like you.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Yes, they'd like that.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- They might even remember it...
0:21:16 > 0:21:21- ..when they're old and grey like - your grandfather and Auntie Mali.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- If you'll excuse me for a moment, - there's something I have to do.
