-# 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 #

-Tad-cu!

-You must help us with Mam.

-You must stop her.

-Goodness me,

-what on earth has she done?

-She's making us go to bed!

-I see. Well,

-there's no wonder you're angry.

-Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't

-she do that to you every night?

-Yes.

-But she lets Nia stay up late.

-While we still have to go to bed

-at the same time.

-That's because

-Nia's just had her birthday.

-She's older now.

-When do we become grown-ups?

-When do we become grown-ups?

-

-Sooner than you think, I'm afraid.

-I'd like to be grown up now so that

-I can go to bed whenever I like.

-We'd do as we pleased.

-I remember a time

-back in Tyddyn Llan...

-..when I thought the same.

-I thought that being grown up

-would solve all my problems.

-Don't worry about anything, Betsan.

-I'll be with you

-first thing in the morning.

-It's not every day

-my little sister has a baby.

-I want to help.

-Thanks, Mami.

-I don't want you to do a thing.

-Remember to brush your teeth, Mali!

-Is there anything you need?

-"Come here, you little pig."

-Hold on a second.

-Turn it down, Porchell!

-"Porchell Tryfan!"

-You should be doing

-your maths homework...

-..instead of

-listening to the radio.

-Porchell Tryfan is mathematical.

-You have to count all the clues

-and all the baddies...

-Stop talking nonsense.

-Your homework's more important.

-But Mami...

-Listen to your mother. Don't forget

-to take a bath before going to bed.

-It's not fair. The grown-ups

-give the orders and the young obey.

-They have the easy job.

-Really?

-Really?

-

-Of course!

-I can't wait to be an a grown-up.

-It seemed to me

-that grown-ups had it easy.

-The following morning at school...

-..Mr Gafr Eto asked me...

-..to solve his maths equation.

-Do you know the answer, Porchell?

-Yes, I have an answer,

-but it's not the right one.

-Excuse me, Mr Gafr Eto,

-I hope I'm not interrupting.

-Not at all, Mr ap Clagwydd. Enter.

-Take a seat. Ffyrgi, get up.

-Sit down, Ffyrgi.

-What can I do for you?

-I happened to be walking past

-Tyddyn y Garreg...

-..and bumped into Dr Twrch Daear.

-He told me that

-he had just left Tyddyn Llan...

-..where Porchell's father

-had taken a tumble.

-Dadi? Is he alright?

-Dadi? Is he alright?

-

-Now, now, don't worry.

-He turned on his ankle, that's all.

-He won't be

-back on his feet until tomorrow.

-Now that Mrs Pinc

-is away visiting her sister...

-I see, well, Porchell, if you'd like

-to go home early and help out...

-That's a great idea, Mr Gafr Eto.

-I hate to leave you

-without a solution to your sum...

-..but someone

-has to take care of the farm.

-You're taking care of the farm?

-Crumbs, Porchell,

-you'll be just like a grown-up.

-Like you always said

-you wanted to be.

-Goodness me,

-I'll be just like a grown-up.

-You want me to look after Mali?

-I could do with your help.

-I came home to look after the farm,

-not to read fairytales to Mali.

-Thank you,

-but looking after a farm...

-..is too hard a task

-for a boy of your age.

-But looking after Mali...

-But looking after Mali...

-

-I'll do whatever needs doing, Dad.

-Just give me a chance.

-You can help me over to the barn.

-The cow needs milking.

-Dad, the doctor said

-not to put any weight on it!

-I'll milk the cow, collect the eggs

-and do whatever else needs doing.

-Take it easy.

-Here you go. Read that.

-A comic?

-A comic?

-

-Will you draw me a picture?

-I don't have time for child's play,

-I have the work of an adult to do.

-Stay here and keep an eye on Dad.

-Oh, alright.

-Matholwch, I want you to chew

-your straw until it's all gone.

-And hens, keep pecking.

-OK, girls, there'll be no

-sitting down while I'm at the helm.

-I want eggs, and plenty of them.

-And double yolks from all of you.

-Hey, flock, flock,

-Mr Boss is ill with a broken ankle.

-And Mrs Boss is away.

-So Little Boss

-is in charge of the entire farm.

-And you know what that means.

-Yes, it's party time!

-Right, I've collected the eggs.

-Now for the milking.

-OK, Mrs Cow, I want

-a lot of milk and a lot of cream.

-Porchell!

-Uh-oh, that's Mali!

-Porchell!

-What's wrong, Mali? Are you OK?

-Which is the prettiest, Porchell?

-What?

-You called me in just for that?

-Can't you see I have a farm to run?

-Listen, Porchell,

-while you're here...

-..would you fetch me a cushion?

-No problem, Dad.

-Thanks.

-And maybe a glass of water too.

-It's out of my reach.

-Thank you.

-Are you getting on with the work?

-Yes. It's coming along nicely.

-I've collected the eggs.

-Next I'm milking the cow.

-Well done.

-Could you feed the animals too?

-It's way past their feeding time.

-Of course I will.

-And Porchell?

-Seeing as you're in charge of the

-farm, maybe you should wear this.

-Really, Dad? Are you sure?

-Goodness me, I look like a grown-up.

-Yes, indeed.

-Well,

-I'd better get back to work now.

-Can I watch you being a grown-up?

-Alright,

-as long as you stay out of the way.

-Captain Madog is getting himself

-into all kinds of trouble...

-..with this rogue.

-I know you're hungry.

-I'll see to you in a minute.

-I'll feed you too.

-Hold on a moment.

-I can't do everything at once.

-Stop it, you foolish hen!

-Porchell! Look at me!

-Oh, no!

-Hold on, Mali, I'm on my way!

-Do you want to play tick with me?

-I bet Porchell's having the time

-of his life being boss of the farm.

-But I was thinking, Dwynwen...

-..now that he's a grown-up,

-will he still want to play with us?

-It's a sad thought

-but perhaps he won't.

-It feels like just this morning

-that he was a child, the same as us.

-Ooh, I've come to the best bit.

-I have no idea how Captain Madog

-will escape the giant's clutches.

-You look worn out.

-Is the work too much for you?

-Er, no, no, not at all, Dad.

-I'm just taking a rest, that's all.

-That's alright then.

-It's almost lunchtime, Porchell.

-I know. I'm famished.

-I know. I'm famished.

-

-Seeing as your mother isn't here...

-Oh, right.

-Lunch it on its way, Dad.

-Porchell, don't forget

-to check on the sheep.

-The pregnant ewe is due to

-give birth any time now. Porchell?

-Is there something different

-about you, Sioned?

-You have a certain glow about you.

-Let me see.

-Have you done something

-to your fleece?

-Have you had a perm or had plaits?

-I know, you've shaved your legs!

-Now that Porchell's a grown-up...

-Ffyrgi!

-..he can eat whatever he wants.

-He's the luckiest kid

-in the whole wide world.

-It looks good.

-Butter, monkey nuts and sardines

-and whatever else I could fine.

-It doesn't smell very nice.

-Oh, no! Porchell!

-Goodness me!

-PHONE RINGS

-What now?

-Hello? Oh, hello there, Mami.

-Yes, everything's fine.

-Dad says his ankle's better

-and we're having a nice lunch.

-Porchell!

-Is Mali alright, Porchell?

-Yes, she is, Dad!

-Sorry, Mali.

-What? Oh, nothing at all, Mami.

-You'd better

-mop up this mess quickly.

-Dadi!

-I have to go.

-Don't worry about a thing.

-I've got it all under control.

-I know, I know,

-you're wearing contacts.

-Am I right? Am I right?

-Apparently not. Hmm.

-Sheared sheep from Shetland!

-Sioned, you're going to have a baby,

-aren't you?

-I love Wiliam

-Aargh! Oh, I need the ratchet.

-Er, hm, ha! Where's the toolbox?

-He asked me what I thought and...

-Porchell?

-Oh, hello, Mr ap Clagwydd.

-Mr ap Clagwydd called by

-to see how I was doing.

-Is everything alright, Porchell?

-You're very muddy.

-Yes, everything's fine. I was just

-checking the temperature of the mud.

-The temperature of the mud?

-Yes, that's the latest thing

-in the farming world.

-Porchell's right.

-Am I?

-The temperature of the mud is key.

-Cold mud for root vegetables, warm

-mud for beans, lettuce and beetroot.

-I have to get back to work.

-Peas, peppers, spinach,

-runner beans...

-..and my favourite of all,

-the common cabbage.

-I have to get back.

-What's that noise?

-Is it raining? It's not raining

-from the other window.

-I'd better go and take a peek.

-But Mr ap Clag...

-But Mr ap Clag...

-

-Meteorology is a hobby of mine.

-I'm sure the weather forecasts...

-Ooh-hoo-hoo!

-School wasn't half as much fun

-without Porchell.

-You're right. Let's find out how

-his first day went as a grown-up.

-Er, good afternoon, Mr ap Clagwydd.

-I hope this holds until Dad...

-I hope this holds until Dad...

-

-Porchell!

-There we go, it's fixed.

-Dad is so lucky to have me.

-We missed you today.

-You're so lucky getting to stay here

-and being a grown-up all day.

-I know, I'm very lucky.

-Why are all the hens

-covered in mud, Porchell?

-To keep them cool.

-Everybody knows that.

-I've never heard of that.

-Quick, something's wrong

-with one of the sheep.

-What do you think

-is the matter with her, Porchell?

-It's obvious to any grown-up

-that she has a cold.

-What, what, what?

-It's not a cold, you idiot!

-She's about to have a baby!

-What? Have a baby?

-What? Have a baby?

-

-Isn't that incredible?

-What do we do now, Porchell?

-I'll be back now.

-Dad!

-Dad!

-

-Hold on a minute.

-Let me tell you

-what the brave captain did.

-A sheep is about to give birth.

-I don't know what to do. Help me!

-Calm down, Porchell.

-I'm only a child. I thought

-being a grown-up would be easy.

-I'm not ready to be a man.

-Being a grown-up doesn't just

-happen. You learn as you go along.

-Today you'll learn

-how to bring a lamb into the world.

-Dear me!

-It's not difficult. The sheep

-does the hard work for you.

-This is what you do.

-Ah, great. Sioned's giving birth

-and an apprentice is in charge.

-Wait a minute.

-Why are you pacing up and down?

-Ohh!

-Congratulations.

-Thanks, Dwynwen.

-I'm so proud of you.

-You did what needed to be done.

-You behaved like a proper grown-up.

-I slept very soundly that night.

-When I woke up, I decided

-I had plenty of time to grow up.

-I was in no hurry.

-I understand, but why do we

-have to go to bed earlier than Nia?

-Yes. It's just not fair.

-You know, boys,

-I might me able to stay up late...

-..but I'm never too old

-to tickle you.

-Now, off you go to bed.

-There'll be plenty of time

-to grow up in the morning.

-Goodnight, boys.

-Goodnight, Tad-cu.
