hmm

and so he took pokey and went home

in the middle of the night i don't know

if there's the middle but it was night

well now do you think you did the right

thing

gosh i couldn't sleep with that crazy

hound of his howlin

well hounds have a way of howling at the

moon oh gosh all i did was tell him to

take him down time to a tree he didn't

have to get sore and say the last he had

to go down too did he

well now as i understand it you two were

partners you made a pact the partners

are supposed to share things good and

bad

it wasn't porky's fault that his dog

howled as gramps just told you

hounds sometimes do howl at the moon i

know but exactly i think you will

protein apologies an apology what for

you've been friends a long time

real friends are hard to come by yet

why don't you call porky up and tell him

you're sorry

treehouse won't be any fun alone

well

okay

well jenny this is jeff miller

for me please

what'll i say

we're just telling her sorry ask him to

come over

hello miss brockway this is jeff miller

huh

oh well

just a minute

porky didn't come home last night

[Music]

hello birdie

little spat and

run down to the tree house and see if

porky's there hurry come on lassie

[Music]

porky

porky

[Music]

porky

[Music]

you wait here

[Music]

you did

i didn't you did i didn't

you did you didn't you did i didn't all

right all right that's enough i didn't

do it pop honest i didn't then what'd

you run away for when i called you

i had a reason

what reason

is for me to know on you to find out

oh now we're not getting anywhere this

way

now there's just one thing i want to

know young man and i want to know it

right now

you didn't come home last night

if you weren't in the tree house where

were you

well

i was here

where

i

i slept in the barn

why

why didn't you come home

because i didn't want to have to tell

you that me and jeff had a fight

i was ashamed

what were you doing at the treehouse

this morning

i went there to dig up my four-leaf

clover

i was gonna break the pack

but then i didn't

i still wanted to be blood brothers

[Music]

i wasn't coming down the ladder like

jeff things i was starting up

i believe your son

and i guess there's just no way to prove

it to jeff

i

i can't help what i saw

please understand jeff i i know exactly

how you feel i do

but i also know that in spite of the way

things look you must have faith in your

friends

and porky is your friend

who else could have done it

nobody knew about the triass but porky

in may he said he'd get even i want to

believe that he didn't do it but i saw

him

you didn't actually see him do it dear

you saw him on the ladder

why did he run away when i called him

well i don't know he may have been

frightened or or maybe he thought you

were still angry at him after all you

did order him off of your land

but no matter why he ran away

don't you think that the word of a

a blood brother is worth more than

just a suspicion

[Music]

please try to get some sleep dear

maybe things that look better tomorrow

[Music]

shall i put out the lines yes please

good night darling good night mom

[Music]

well

oh dear he

a mixed up little boy

he wants so desperately to believe that

porky didn't do it and yet he can't find

any other explanation for it you want to

know something

neither can i

if it were higgy i could understand his

lying about it but not porky

you saw him standing here tears rolling

down his cheeks

you heard him say that he that he didn't

dig up his four-leaf clover because he

still wanted to be blood brothers with

jeff

well somebody had to do it and he had

the best reason

well it's too bad i i feel sorry for

jeff and for porky

but they'll have to work it out for

themselves

[Music]

what's the matter

[Music]

[Music]

something wrong yeah

i don't know glassy started barking then

she jumped out the window and headed for

the woods well i'm gonna take a look
