The Teapot

S2, E4: Small Clanger is fishing. He lands a small silver teapot. They do not know exactly what it is for. They try it for a hat but it is not a hat. Small Clanger knows what it is, it is a soupjug. He takes it to the soupwells and fills it with three jugfuls of soup. He takes it home on the trolley and pours the soup into the Clangers mugs from it. The spout gets bunged up. He blows through it and it makes a loud trumpetlike noise. Small Clanger is delighted but the Clangers are displeased because he is spraying soup about. They tell Small Clanger to take it outside if he wants to make loud noises. Small Clanger takes it outside on the trolley and blows it. An answering sound is heard. He blows it again. The answering sound is closer. He blows it a third time and has to run as a cloud of assorted tin hollowware falls around him. Teapots, coffeepots, jugs cafesfiltres, cans lie all around. They do not seem to be alive. Small Clanger brings in the teapot and tells the others. Major Clanger blows the teapot and the cloud of metal pots flies in and lands all around them. Tiny Clanger poles away through a cloud of falling teapots. She comes to the soupwell and tells the soupdragon what has happened. The soupdragon insists on blowing it. The teapots come sailing into the soupdragons cave. The soupdragon retires into her well and refuses to emerge until they get rid of the plague. Small Clanger takes the teapot outside. Tiny Clanger makes a helicopter with a branch of a ring tree. She makes a ring of music notes and fixes it to the teapot. They take the teapot to a high place, blow it and spin the wheel. The teapot rises and sails away on the music. The other pots follow.
