---THE LAST KING OF LAMBLAND---

Written by Tolon Brown Storyboard by Robert Yap

At preschool James is playing with the stuffed sheep along with Liam, who has the hiccups. The Tibble Twins scare Liam which causes him to step on James' lunch. The Tibble Twins grab James' stuffed lamb and call it "an ugly mouse". James tells them it has magic powers, but the Tibbles don't believe him.

Outside James dumps out his lunch onto a picnic table and it is crushed. Liam still has the hiccups. D.W. tells Liam he needs Arthur to scare him, and she remembers the time when Arthur scared her on Halloween. Just when James is about to throw out his lunch he changes his mind and gives it to animals. The Tibble Twins see this and think that he is talking to the animals like the legend said, so the Tibbles take the lamb, but James gets it back.

The Tibbles try to follow James, who is in the Ice Cream Shop with Molly. James takes a quarter out of the lamb's mouth and they think it is magical. When James walks out the Tibbles bow to him. They treat him like a king, which made the other preschoolers unhappy, until Molly reminded him that James the Squinty was kind. So he gave the stuffed lamb to Liam. He was scared at first, but he saw his hiccups stopped, which made him happy.
