1. Once upon a time,

2. not so long ago,

3. there was a little girl, and her name was Emily.

4. And she had a shop.

5. There it is!

6. It was rather an unusual shop because it didn't sell anything.

7. You see, everything in that shop window

8. was a thing that somebody had once lost

9. and Emily had found

10. and brought home to Bagpuss.

11. Emily's cat, Bagpuss.

12. The most important,

13. the most beautiful,

14. the most magical

15. saggy, old cloth cat in the whole wide world.

16. Well, now, one day, Emily found a thing.

17. And she brought it back to the shop

18. and put it down in front of Bagpuss

19. who was in the shop window, fast asleep as usual.

20. But then, Emily said some magic words:

21. "Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss,

22. old fat furry cat-puss,

23. wake up and look at this thing that I bring.

24. Wake up, be bright, be golden and light.

25. Bagpuss, oh, hear what I sing!"

26. And Bagpuss was wide awake.

27. And when Bagpuss wakes up, all his friends wake up, too.

28. The mice on the mouse organ woke up and stretched.

29. Madeleine the rag doll.

30. Gabriel the toad.

31. And last of all, Professor Yaffle

32. who is a very distinguished old woodpecker.

33. He climbed down off his bookend

34. and went to see what it was that Emily had brought.

35. Nerp, nerp, nerp, a bucket!

36. A rotten, old, grotty, old, bashed-up old bucket!

37. The things Miss Emily brings!

38. A rusty, old, dusty, old Irish bucket with a hole in it.

39. Irish bucket?

40. How do you know it's an Irish bucket?

41. Well, uh...

42. It's an Irish bucket.

43. I, uh... I know it's an Irish bucket.

44. Does it matter?

45. Certainly it matters.

46. That must be a special bucket. Maybe a magic bucket.

47. Magic?

48. What could be magic about a bit of old iron like that?

49. Well, for a start, why is it smoking?

50. Smoking?

51. Yes! Look!

52. There is smoke coming out of it.

53. Ooh, look. It's on fire! Fire!

54. Hey. Wait a minute.

55. Mice, mice! Hang on, wait!

56. Don't go pouring water on a leprechaun.

57. They don't like it.

58. Leprechaun? What's a leprechaun?

59. Where is a Leprechaun? A Leprechaun?

60. A leprechaun is one of the "little people."

61. The tiny magic people

62. who are supposed to live in Ireland.

63. And unless I'm mistaken,

64. there's a leprechaun in that Irish bucket.

65. Oh, ridiculous! Ridiculous!

66. Leprechauns are just in stories.

67. They are mythical. They aren't real!

68. Well, perhaps we aren't real either.

69. Anyway, real or not, he's playing the fiddle.

70. And he's playing it beautifully, too.

71. Ah, yes, I know that fiddle and the player.

72. That's Shamus O'Hulihaun himself.

73. Shamus O'Hulihaun of Gillicuddy!

74. Ooh, yes, that's him.

75. Yeah, I remember Shamus O'Hulihaun.

76. Come to think of it, I remember he lived in a bucket.

77. The last time I saw that bucket,

78. it was in the far west of Ireland, I think.

79. I think...

80. Yes, the far west of Ireland, in a peat bog.

81. There it was, smoking away.

82. I remember I didn't notice the smoke, I sat on it.

83. Will you let me out?

84. Will you get off? You're choking me!

85. Oh, uh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.

86. There I am, peacefully smoking a trout for my dinner,

87. and you have to come and sit on my chimney!

88. Ooh, I beg your pardon, I...

89. I didn't know it was your chimney.

90. Ah, well, it's no matter.

91. Now you've caught me,

92. aren't you going to ask me where's my crock of gold?

93. Crock of Gold? What's a crock of gold?

94. Don't you know what a crock of gold is?

95. Ah, sure, you're an ignorant old Bagpuss.

96. Listen, I'll tell you.

97. Every leprechaun has a crock of gold

98. hidden away somewhere.

99. It would be an earthenware pot,

100. and it'll be full of gold coins and pieces and brooches.

101. - Do you understand that? Oh, yes, yes.

102. Good, well, now, the story is,

103. if you catch a leprechaun and grab him and hold him tight,

104. you can say to him, "Where's your crock of gold,"

105. and he'll have to tell you.

106. Ooh, is that right?

107. Well, don't worry, uh, I don't want your crock of gold.

108. Ah, Bagpuss, what a pleasure it is to meet you.

109. I remember the last time I was caught.

110. It was right in the middle

111. of Michael O'Sullivan's field of cabbages.

112. Forty acres it was, and every foot a cabbage.

113. Think of it, Bagpuss. Forty acres of cabbages!

114. Oh, right-o.

115. I'll think of it

116. while you tell me what happened, eh?

117. I'm good at thinking. Uh, I think.

118. I think.

119. Forty acres of cabbages. Ah, there it is.

120. Ah, that was it, yes.

121. There I was, doing nobody any harm,

122. burying my crock of gold in a safe place

123. underneath one of the cabbages.

124. And suddenly, like it was from out of nowhere,

125. up jumps Michael O'Sullivan himself.

126. "Begorrah," says he, or words to that effect,

127. "So I've caught you at last, Shamus O'Hulihaun."

128. "So it seems," says I, "And I don't need to tell you

129. where my crock of gold is hidden. "

130. "That you don't, " says he,

131. "because I saw you bury it under that cabbage.

132. Now, I'll run home for my spade to dig it up."

133. "Well, now," says I, "that's a stupid thing to do.

134. There's thousands of cabbages here in this field.

135. How will you know which one it is

136. when you come back?"

137. That stopped him,

138. "There's intelligent y'are," says he,

139. and he took out his big knife.

140. And with one swipe,

141. he cut the cabbage clean in half

142. down the middle.

143. And he dashes off home to fetch his spade.

144. Well, as it happened,

145. he had a bit of a job catching the spade

146. because once he was out of sight,

147. I played a little tune on my old fiddle, like this.

148. Now, this is a powerful agricultural jig.

149. And as soon as they heard it,

150. every spade, axe, knife, and cleaver

151. came dancing out of their sheds and barns.

152. Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp!

153. Well, by the time Michael O'Sullivan

154. had chased his spade and caught it

155. and made it stand still long enough for him to carry it,

156. I was half a mile away.

157. And almost every cabbage in that field

158. was split clean in half.

159. Ah, he was upset, was Michael O'Sullivan.

160. I should think so, too.

161. So would I be, spoiling a whole field of cabbages like that.

162. Ah, I daresay.

163. But I'll tell you the truth,

164. I was sorry for the fool, O'Sullivan.

165. So that night, I played another tune on my fiddle.

166. A sweet mending lullaby, it was, like this.

167. And in no time at all,

168. every cabbage in the field was mended

169. and growing like mad again.

170. Ah, yes, that's a beautiful tune.

171. Ah, sure, you're a wise cat,

172. and I'm glad to know you.

173. I'll tell you what I'll do.

174. One day, when you've got nothing else to do,

175. I'll send my fiddle to play you a dance.

176. How's that?

177. Well, that's very kind of you.

178. I look forward to that, I said.

179. And he turned his bucket over with him underneath it.

180. And that was the last I saw or heard of Shamus O'Hulihaun,

181. from that day to this.

182. I wonder if that's the same bucket.

183. Push!

184. Yes, look! Look! There it is!

185. It's a fiddle.

186. Stop! Stop! Wait a minute.

187. There, Charlie-mouse,

188. you can play the fiddle beautifully.

189. Oh, no! No, I wasn't!

190. The fiddle was playing itself.

191. Do you know Brian O'Lynn?

192. That's it! That's it! That's right!

193. But wait for the mice.

194. Heave! Heave!

195. Heave! Heave!

196. The marvellous mechanical Mouse Organ!

197. Tired out!

198. Ooh, dear, me too.

199. Bagpuss gave a big yawn

200. and settled down to sleep.

201. And of course, when Bagpuss goes to sleep,

202. all his friends go to sleep, too.

203. The mice were ornaments on the mouse organ.

204. Gabriel and Madeleine were just dolls.

205. And Professor Yaffle was a carved wooden bookend

206. in the shape of a woodpecker.

207. Even Bagpuss himself,

208. once he was asleep,

209. was just an old, saggy cloth cat,

210. baggy and a bit loose at the seams.

211. But Emily loved him.
