==Summary==
James receives a gift from his uncle in Scotland - a toy lamb that will supposedly give its owner the powers of the legendary James the Squinty, leader of the clan MacDoogal-Donald's!

==Plot==
The episode starts out in Scotland. A man rides his bicycle to a castle and a piece of art in it tells the story of the MacDoogal-Donald's, [[James MacDonald|James]]' ancestors. They had one good ruler, and than many bad ones, such as Kilgore the Dim, Edna the Easily Amused, and Oliver the Wolliper. After many years of bad rulers a kid came into power and he was gave prosperity to the land for many years. He was named "James the Squinty".

The scene goes to the [[MacDonalds' House]]. The man turns out to be James' and [[Molly MacDonald|Molly]]'s uncle, [[Myles]]. Myles sends James a stuffed sheep. Ownership of the sheep is rumored to cause as much bravery and wisdom as James the Squinty. Myles sent Molly a CD from a local punk band, [[Loch Tess]].

After the title card, James is seen playing with the stuffed sheep at preschool 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. Read|D.W.]] tells Liam he needs [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] to scare him, and she remembers [[Hic or Treat|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 makes the other preschoolers unhappy, until Molly reminds him that James the Squinty was kind. So he gives the stuffed lamb to Liam. He is scared at first, but he sees his hiccups stopped, which makes him happy.
