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 and went to see what it was

34. that Emily had brought.

35. Nerp, nerp, nerp.

36. Well, that is a pink elephant.

37. It's made of straw.

38. It's very tatty and it hasn't any ears.

39. I'm not surprised it looks sad.

40. Yes, it does look sad, poor old thing.

41. It's just as well it is a pink elephant,

42. not a real one.

43. Why? What difference would that make?

44. If it was a real elephant it couldn't fly.

45. Fly? Fly? Elephants don't fly.

46. I don't see why not. Pink straw elephants could fly.

47. Oh, ridiculous! Whoever heard of such a thing.

48. The elephant is a pretty bird.

49. Its hair is long and wavy.

50. It makes its nest in a rhubarb tree

51. and lays its eggs in gravy.

52. That's ridiculous.

53. Ridiculous. Ridiculous.

54. How about this?

55. The elephant is a pretty bird, it flits from bough to bough.

56. It makes its nest in a rhubarb tree

57. and whistles like a cow.

58. No, no, no, no! Ridiculous.

59. Ridiculous.

60. Ooh, I see, yes.

61. Perhaps that's how it lost its ears!

62. Yes, I think that may be how it lost its ears,

63. I think.

64. Yes. I think...

65. Yes, well, little elephants,

66. little pink elephants made of straw

67. should not go flying in the rain.

68. This one did. Look what happened to him.

69. What a sad story.

70. That poor elephant,

71. all alone on a desert island.

72. Oh, poor elephant all alone.

73. Bagpuss! Bagpuss!

74. Mice don't like that poor elephant all alone.

75. Think for a happy ending.

76. A happy elephant ending.

77. Think, Bagpuss. Think!

78. So Bagpuss thought again.

79. Well, that poor pink straw elephant

80. was alone on a desert island.

81. But worse than that,

82. he couldn't fly because his ears were all wet and tattered.

83. In fact, they were coming away at the cotton

84. where they were sewn on.

85. And worst of all, he was hungry.

86. There you are, you see.

87. That is how the elephant lost his ears.

88. He gave them to the mice

89. so they could use them as a boat.

90. It's sad! It's still sad. It's too sad.

91. Poor elephant!

92. We mice like that elephant.

93. That elephant is nice to mice.

94. We mice like a nice,

95. happy elephant ending!

96. Oh, yes. Yes of course.

97. I'll think some more.

98. That is a happy elephant ending.

99. Thank you, Bagpuss. Mice like happy elephant ending.

100. Yes, mice like.

101. Oh. Nerp, nerp, nerp.

102. That's all very well

103. but telling silly stories hasn't done any good

104. to this wretched piece of straw.

105. What it needs, first of all, is a good clean-up.

106. Wait! Wait! We will do it. Wait!

107. Hey, presto! How is that?

108. Oh! That's much better.

109. Nerp, nerp, nerp. Yes!

110. But he still hasn't got any ears.

111. Well, perhaps he doesn't need to have ears.

112. It may never have had any ears.

113. Oh, ridiculous. Nerp, nerp, nerp.

114. Of course it has ears. All elephants have ears.

115. I don't see why it has to have ears!

116. I mean, lots of animals and birds

117. can hear perfectly well

118. without having great flippy-floppy-flappy ears.

119. Ears? Ears! Hello.

120. What are you looking for, mice?

121. There's a roll of ear music. Ear song.

122. You will sing it, we play the pictures.

123. Alright then, where is it?

124. Here it is. Here it is.

125. Here. Here.

126. The marvellous, mechanical

127. mouse organ!

128. What on earth is that?

129. I know! It's a bird.

130. It is a lark!

131. But the ears. Of course!

132. That is what the song is about.

133. Good! Yes, That's right. Ear!

134. Now, what on earth is that supposed to be?

135. Oh, I know.

136. Good. Yes, that's right! What about this, then?

137. What on earth is that?

138. Nerp, nerp, nerp. It looks like a crocodile.

139. A crocodile with ears.

140. Nerp, nerp. Oh, I know!

141. Yaffle song!

142. Yaffle sang a song! Come on!

143. That looks like a fish.

144. No, it's a dolphin.

145. What on earth is that?

146. I think that must be a person.

147. - You know, a bloke. Um...

148. Stockbroker.

149. Nerp, nerp, nerp. That will do! That will do!

150. That was a terrible rhyme.

151. Odd bloke a... stockbroker. Nerp, nerp, nerp.

152. And it hasn't done the elephant any good at all.

153. Yeah. Now, mice, the elephant is your friend.

154. You must decide what to do about his ears.

155. We leave the decision entirely to you.

156. Come on. Will this do?

157. It's a hat!

158. It is a sort of hat with ears.

159. What a good idea.

160. A hat with sort of flaps at the sides.

161. The mice fitted it very carefully

162. on the elephant's head.

163. It suited him very well.

164. Then they pushed him to the front of the window

165. and left him there so that if anybody came past

166. who had lost a pink straw elephant

167. without any ears,

168. they would see him and come in to collect him.

169. And so their work was done.

170. Bagpuss gave a big yawn

171. and settled down to sleep.

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

173. all his friends go to sleep, too.

174. The mice were ornaments on the mouse organ.

175. Gabriel and Madeleine were just dolls.

176. And Professor Yaffle was a carved wooden bookend

177. in the shape of a woodpecker.

178. Even Bagpuss himself,

179. once he was asleep,

180. was just an old, saggy cloth cat,

181. baggy and a bit loose at the seams.

182. But Emily loved him.
