-# It's the tale of an amazing pig.

-Come and hear his life story

-# He takes a bath in the mud.

-He's very happy, he's a lucky pig

-# Porchell, Ffyrgi, Dwynwen and Mol.

-They love to have fun all day long

-# In Tara, or rushing

-down the hill in the cart

-# They inspect every nook and cranny

-and follow their noses

-# Things don't always go to plan.

-Here they are - what a mess!

-# Sometimes his eyes start blazing.

-He must be onto a brand new plan

-# It must be something amazing.

-Something to attract the others

-# Porchell, Ffyrgi, Dwynwen and Mol.

-They love to have fun all day long

-# In Tara, or rushing

-down the hill in the cart

-# They sleep well and get up early

-to make time to play their tricks

-# Things don't always go to plan.

-They have such crazy times #

-There you go, little cabbage,

-you're right next to the parsley.

-You two will get on well together.

-Tad-cu, we're back!

-It's great to see you, boys.

-Have you missed us?

-We went swimming every day.

-We went swimming every day.

-

-I found a frog.

-Sounds like you had

-a wonderful time at camp.

-Look how much you've grown

-in just one week.

-Come on, let's go and see Cyrli.

-He'll be happy to see us.

-Listen here, little cabbage...

-..if I didn't know better...

-..I'd say the boys

-missed that caterpillar...

-..more than they missed me.

-He's gone! Cyrli's not here!

-What was that?

-Our caterpillar isn't in its bowl.

-Nia was supposed to look after him.

-Where is Nia? She owes us a new one.

-I don't want a new caterpillar.

-I don't want a new caterpillar.

-

-Hold on, boys.

-Before you go accusing your sister

-of a serious crime...

-..are you sure

-you have all the facts?

-We're sure, Tad-cu.

-Very well then.

-I wouldn't want you

-to make the same mistake as Dwynwen.

-Why, was it a big one?

-Why, was it a big one?

-

-It was a classic!

-It all started one afternoon...

-..when we got together

-after school...

-..to play a friendly game

-of horseshoe throwing.

-Whoo-hoo! Ha-ha!

-Another perfect shot!

-It's all over, Porchell!

-Not quite.

-I have one more throw left.

-Come on, Porchell,

-I know you can do it.

-Porchell!

-Hey, did someone get

-that bus's number?

-I'm great!

-I'm the best, I'm the best!

-I should take that shot again.

-I should take that shot again.

-

-Oh, there you are, Porchell.

-I was about to win the horseshoe

-championship when you called me.

-I'm sorry, sweetheart.

-Would some milk

-and a slice of cake make up for it?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-

-You three help yourselves...

-..while I fetch your sister

-and Tecwyn.

-Come on, boys.

-I'm right behind you!

-I'm right behind you!

-

-Keep some for me!

-The brave knight neared

-the fiery dragon heroically...

-..and shouted...

-..and shouted...

-

-Children! Cake and milk!

-There's nothing like Mami's cake

-to make my arm stronger.

-Prepare to be amazed, Dwynwen.

-Waaaah!

-Since when have I lived on the edge?

-Why screech like a cat, Dwynwen?

-Oh, my school bag.

-Who would do such a thing?

-Don't look at me.

-Nor me.

-We were eating cake.

-Matholwch did it.

-Porchell, your mule

-has eaten my school bag.

-No way. Matholwch would never do

-something like that.

-So what's he chewing

-at this precise moment?

-Oh, we'll never find out now.

-Who else could it have been?

-He was the only one here. Look!

-His hoof prints

-are all around my bag.

-What more proof do you need?

-Matholwch

-would never do such a thing.

-I'm sure this time he did, Mali.

-Do you agree, Ffyrgi?

-Um, well, um...

-Come on, Ffyrgi, you know

-Matholwch is as innocent as a baby.

-Well, um,

-there are hoof prints, Porchell.

-But none of us saw him do it.

-So, um... Oh, I don't know.

-Of course you do!

-No, I don't.

-Well, I say he's guilty.

-And I say he's innocent.

-This is exactly what happens

-on that radio programme.

-Judge Gerbil,

-Defence Lawyer of the Innocent!

-You get to listen to

-two sides of the story...

-..and decide

-if the accused has misbehaved.

-Or hasn't misbehaved.

-OK, we'll hold our own hearing...

-..to decide if Matholwch

-ate Dwynwen's bag or not.

-Please, please, don't all push in.

-Wait a minute, you've locked me out.

-I'm the jury's spokesperson.

-Open the door!

-Order! Order!

-This court is now in session!

-And so the biggest court case in

-Tyddyn Llan's history got underway.

-Dwynwen versus Matholwch the Mule.

-All rise for His Honour,

-Judge Ffyrgi.

-Be seated.

-Should I call on the jury?

-Er, I'm not sure. What's a jury?

-A special group of 12...

-..who will decide

-if Matholwch is guilty or not.

-Oh, um, summon them all.

-I call on the jury.

-Do I call on the accused now?

-Summon the accused!

-Now, don't worry about a thing,

-Matholwch.

-I'm your lawyer.

-I won't let them send you to prison.

-Your Honour, as the prosecutor...

-..I intend to prove that

-the accused, Matholwch the Mule...

-..without so much

-as a "May I please?"...

-..chewed up my school bag.

-Silence! Silence in court!

-Mr Porchell, what do you say

-in Matholwch's defence?

-Ladies and gentlemen of the jury...

-..as the defence lawyer...

-..I will prove

-that Dwynwen is wrong.

-It will be up to this smart, brave,

-loyal and reliable jury...

-..to decide who's telling the truth.

-Me, or the very bright female with

-wild eyes who's creating trouble.

-Dwynwen Erch Garan.

-Silence!

-Silence in court!

-Your Honour, I'd like to

-call on my first witness.

-Me - Dwynwen Erch Garan.

-Take the stand.

-Do you swear to tell the truth?

-Do you swear to tell the truth?

-

-I do. I never tell lies.

-Is it true that you have one of

-the nicest school bags in Tara?

-Yes, that is true.

-Is it also true

-that you adore this bag?

-With all my heart.

-And isn't it also true that

-your bag was mercilessly chewed...

-..by Matholwch the Mule?

-It's fair to assume

-that no-one else could have done so.

-There I was, enjoying a wonderful

-game of horseshoe throwing.

-I was beating everyone else,

-as usual.

-Please, Dwynwen, I beg you to

-take pity on this poor farmer's son.

-Let me score just one little point.

-Come on, Porchell, you can do it.

-Children! Milk and cake!

-What a champion!

-My hero!

-And that's how it all happened.

-Did you hear that, Judge Ffyrgi?

-The wig slipped down over my ears.

-Very well, Miss Erch Garan.

-Tell me, did you witness Matholwch

-chewing your bag?

-I'm sure

-I saw him chewing something.

-Maybe so, but did you see him

-chewing your school bag?

-Well, um, no.

-Ah-ha!

-It must have been my school bag.

-What else could it have been?

-Let me see. It could have been oats,

-grass, straw, chewing gum.

-My school bag.

-Perhaps,

-but you don't know that for a fact.

-No, I don't know for a fact.

-Thank you. No further questions.

-Wowee, wow, wow, wow.

-The duck buckled under the pressure.

-I have to get into this place.

-Your full name, please.

-Your full name, please.

-

-Mali Pinc, your sister. Remember me?

-Never mind that.

-Now, please tell the jury

-in your own words what happened.

-Tecwyn, Matholwch and me were

-sitting underneath the old tree.

-..neared the fiery dragon

-and shouted...

-Children! Cake and milk!

-Matholwch stayed behind

-to have a rest.

-And that's when he saw her.

-It was a diabolical dragon.

-All he wanted to do

-was eat Dwynwen's school bag.

-Matholwch wasn't going

-to allow that to happen.

-It was a vicious struggle...

-..but Matholwch was unafraid.

-The dragon didn't stand a chance.

-That's how Matholwch saved the bag

-and the entire Welsh nation.

-What, what, what, what, what?

-Your turn to ask the questions.

-That was a wonderful story, Mali.

-Miss Pinc, I'd like to refer to

-one tiny flaw in your story.

-There's no such thing as dragons.

-It was only a story.

-Thank you, Miss Pinc.

-That will be all.

-Silence in court. Silence, please.

-I may be new but shouldn't we have a

-witness who actually saw something?

-Of course, Judge Ffyrgi.

-But no-one was around

-when the crime was committed.

-No-one here, that is,

-apart from you.

-Jeepers creepers!

-You won't believe this, girls,

-but the next witness is a hen.

-What on earth's going on?

-Who's going to believe some hen?

-Now then, hen, do you remember

-seeing anything unusual in the yard?

-Tell me, Miss Hen, did you or did

-you not see Matholwch the Mule...

-..eating her school bag?

-Only a lawyer like Porchell

-would question a hen.

-Well?

-Are you saying yes or no?

-It's an egg.

-No need for further witnesses,

-Your Honour.

-Matholwch's hoof prints were

-as obvious as the wig on your head.

-He's guilty.

-He's guilty.

-

-And I say he's not guilty.

-Matholwch doesn't eat school bags.

-Very well then.

-It's time for the jury to decide.

-Let's ask the jury.

-Right, jury, what's your verdict?

-Is Matholwch guilty or not guilty?

-Did he do it or not?

-Hello?

-I'm the head of the sheep jury.

-Someone let me in!

-Baaa!

-Baaa!

-

-What was that? Guilty or not guilty?

-I don't know, I don't speak Baa.

-I'd say it's left up to you then,

-Judge Ffyrgi.

-Is Matholwch guilty or not guilty?

-Well, nobody

-actually witnessed him doing it.

-But there were hoof prints

-surrounding the bag.

-And everybody saw him

-chewing something.

-Therefore...

-It didn't look good for Matholwch.

-Ffyrgi was about to give

-his verdict...

-..when I suddenly noticed something.

-I say that Matholwch is...

-Hold on. Your Honour, I think I can

-prove my client's innocence.

-You can?

-Baa-baa?

-Baa-baa?

-

-Yes, I really can.

-I'd like to move the hearing

-to the scene of the crime.

-Very well then. Let's move outside.

-Let me in!

-Hah, they're unlocking the door.

-They can't have a hearing

-without me.

-What's going on? Where is everybody?

-Where's the court case? Let me out!

-Whoever left the footprints

-more than likely ate the bag, right?

-You're absolutely correct.

-He left an entire path of shame.

-But look at the prints. These hooves

-are the hooves of a cow.

-Matholwch's hooves aren't divided.

-His hoof prints

-resemble those made by a horseshoe.

-Good detective work.

-Ladies and gentlemen of the court...

-..it's evident to me that these

-prints don't belong to Matholwch.

-Matholwch is innocent.

-Thank you. Thank you very much.

-Goodness me, Porchell is right.

-If it wasn't Matholwch,

-who could it have been?

-The prints lead this way.

-Why don't we follow them?

-Look!

-It's a goat.

-It's a goat.

-

-And it's chewing my bag straps.

-It wasn't Matholwch.

-I'm sorry, Porchell.

-I may have been rash, jumping

-to conclusions about Matholwch.

-It's easy enough to do, but luckily

-for me, I've never done it.

-Apart from once or twice.

-I shouldn't have left

-my school bag either...

-..in a place where any

-smelly old goat could eat it.

-He didn't like the sound of that.

-Aaarrrghh!

-Quick, in here!

-I'm by myself again.

-What's wrong with you people?

-Aaaaaaarrgh!

-I think we're safe.

-I now conclude that this case

-is over, once and for all.

-And with that, the court case

-came to a miraculous end.

-Matholwch was found not guilty

-and justice had been done.

-Do you see, boys?

-Always make sure you have all

-the facts before accusing anyone.

-We did jump to conclusions

-about the caterpillar, didn't we?

-Now you get it.

-But Cyrli is a pet, Tad-cu.

-He wouldn't just run away.

-And if Nia didn't lose him,

-then where is he?

-I don't think Cyrli's lost.

-In fact,

-he's right here in front of you.

-You see, when caterpillars grow,

-they become butterflies.

-All Cyrli did was grow up.

-Cyrli!

-Cyrli!

-

-He's grown into a butterfly now.

-Incredible!

-It's a pleasure to meet you, Cyrli.
