-Owwwwww! Have you jammed your finger

-in the drawer again?

-No, I was singing. Tara said

-I had an exceptional voice.

-Exceptionally poor?

-Exceptionally poor?

-

-What's wrong with singing?

-When someone sings

-and reaches those top notes...

-..it makes me howl.

-What, like this?

-# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

-# Ah-ah-ah... #

-Owwww! Ow, ow, ow, ow!

-Stop! Owww!

-# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah #

-Owwww! Pleeeeeaaase!

-Ow, ow, ow! Ow, ow, ow!

-Hola. Hola.

-Tara's done a great job.

-It's a wonderful venue

-for a concert.

-Uno, dos, tres.

-Uno, dos.

-Jeepers creepers!

-Sorry, I didn't see the headphones.

-I'm learning a new language.

-Spanish.

-Swanky!

-Don't you think all these sandwiches

-are a little over the top?

-I thought it was a pity

-to waste all this jam.

-I've been flat out collecting

-raspberries and making jam.

-I've enough to fill Bala Lake.

-But I'm running out of jars now.

-I'm looking forward to hearing Tara

-sing. She has the voice of an angel.

-That's what people said

-about my voice years ago.

-I'd give anything

-to sing like that again.

-Have you seen it? Have you

-seen my voice? I've lost it!

-I can hear you as clear as a bell.

-I can hear you as clear as a bell.

-

-No, I've lost my voice.

-Sound the siren!

-There's a mystery to solve

-and that's no lie.

-Call the detectives

-before things go awry.

-Charge your batteries.

-There's a mystery to solve.

-Tara.

-Hush, don't say a word.

-No, no, no, no, honestly.

-Don't worry,

-we all lose our voices at times.

-I haven't lost my speaking voice,

-Prys. I've lost my singing voice.

-I keep my different voices

-in different jars.

-Watch this.

-My high voice.

-My deep voice.

-But my singing voice

-has disappeared.

-I can't sing without it.

-Who's been here today then?

-Only Beti,

-who's been making sandwiches...

-..and Dr Jim with his new gadget.

-Don't worry, Tara,

-we'll find the culprits.

-I assure you of...

-Sorry!

-I assure you of that.

-Come on, Prys. My nose is twitching,

-it's time to go a-searching.

-Goodbye, Tara.

-Poor Tara.

-Yes, I know.

-She has such a sweet voice.

-I'd love to have her singing voice.

-I can't sing. I'm tone-deaf.

-Not everyone

-has a voice like Tara and me.

-But I'm sure

-yours isn't as bad as all that.

-Oh, yes, it is. I've won Wales'

-Worst Voice three times in a row.

-Would you like to hear it?

-Would you like to hear it?

-

-Another time, perhaps.

-You've been busy, Beti.

-I've been looking for

-extra jars all morning.

-I'm falling behind.

-# La-la, la-la-la, la-la... #

-Did you hear that?

-What? No.

-It must've come from my headphones.

-I'm learning Spanish.

-May I listen?

-"Eres feo y huele de queso."

-What does she say?

-You're ugly and you smell of cheese.

-Don't be nasty. I only asked.

-No, that's what

-she's saying in Spanish.

-I get it!

-You've been here a while, Beti.

-Have you noticed anything unusual?

-Well, strange that you should ask.

-I saw Dr Jim fiddling with a jar...

-..and a pipe.

-I don't know

-what he was trying to do.

-Thanks, Beti. Come on, Prys,

-let's go and talk to Dr Jim.

-Put that sandwich back, please.

-Hello, Beti.

-Prys? Ceri?

-Dr Jim's in here!

-Thanks, Beti.

-I'm going to fetch some bread.

-Hello, Dr Jim.

-Hello, Dr Jim.

-

-Hey, careful with that.

-This is sophisticated technology,

-I'll have you know.

-A pipe and a funnel?

-A pipe and a funnel?

-

-You're the only funnel around here.

-What is it?

-What is it?

-

-I'm creating perfume.

-But Tara makes perfume for

-the residents of Llan-ar-goll-en.

-Maybe so,

-but it's not a patch on my perfume.

-She thinks she's

-the only talented one around here.

-What do you mean?

-What do you mean?

-

-I used to be the best singer around.

-For your information.

-For your information.

-

-Did you?

-There are

-plenty of talented singers here.

-But people only want to hear Tara.

-I don't really rate her singing.

-Beti'd do a much better job.

-Is that what you think?

-I heard her singing earlier.

-I heard her singing earlier.

-

-# La, la, la-la-la-la

-# La, la, la-la-la #

-I didn't realize

-what a sweet voice she had.

-She's like a nightingale.

-But Beti said...

-But Beti said...

-

-What did Beti say?

-Thank you, Dr Jim.

-We've hunted and searched,

-pondered and mithered.

-And now the truth

-is perfectly clear.

-Prys!

-# La-la-la-la-la-la #

-Apologies.

-Who stole Tara Tan Toc's voice?

-Was it Beti Becws, winner of Wales'

-Worst Voice for three years running?

-Or the accomplished singer,

-Dr Jim Clem?

-Or was it Prys Ar Frys, the talented

-singer, by his own admission?

-This is the oddest thing to happen

-in a while. Over to you, Prys.

-Voices in jars.

-Heaps of sandwiches

-and enough jam to fill a bath.

-This mystery has been very strange.

-But I can at last reveal

-that the culprit is...

-Prys Ar Frys,

-you stole Tara's singing voice.

-What?

-What?

-

-Since when can you sing?

-You've a voice like an elephant

-with his trunk tied.

-But today you said

-you had a lovely voice.

-I do have a lovely voice, thank you.

-Listen.

-TONELESS SINGING

-Sorry, everyone, that was my fault.

-Apologies to you too, Prys.

-You're obviously not guilty.

-You still have a dreadful voice.

-The person

-who stole Tara's voice is...

-THEY GASP

-Beti Becws.

-Pardon?

-You said you couldn't sing.

-But Dr Jim

-heard you singing sweetly.

-# La, la, la-la-la-la

-# La, la, la-la-la-la #

-I can't sing.

-Prove it. Sing for us.

-Are you sure?

-As sure

-as there are leaves on trees.

-Cover your ears then.

-SHE WHINES

-Hush!

-It's obvious to us all

-that you didn't steal Tara's voice.

-Which means that you took it...

-..Dr Jim Clem.

-You were envious of Tara's talent,

-so you stole her voice.

-Beti saw you do it.

-No, she didn't.

-Explain this then.

-Prys, Prys, Prys, that's not...

-Hush, Tara,

-I'm interrogating Dr Jim.

-It's Tara's voice inside this jar.

-Yuck!

-What on earth is in this?

-Perfume.

-Perfume.

-

-Perfume?

-It smells like fish and rotten eggs.

-Nobody's going to buy that.

-It's for cats, not people.

-That's what I tried to tell you.

-My voice jar

-has a musical note stuck on it.

-Interesting.

-Wag my tail and wiggle my nose,

-I've an explanation, so here goes.

-Is there a jar in Beti's collection

-with a musical note on it?

-Yes.

-It's completely obvious then.

-Beti was short of jars for her jam.

-While you searched for more, you

-took a jar which looked empty...

-..but inside it

-was Tara's singing voice.

-You filled it with jam and

-the jam mixed in with the voice.

-That's what we heard

-when we spoke to you, Beti.

-It wasn't Beti's singing

-that Dr Jim heard.

-It was the jam singing.

-Open one of those sandwiches.

-# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

-# La-la-la-la-la-la #

-# La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la #

-Now that's what you call

-a very odd mystery.

-Thank you for solving it.

-There's just one problem.

-How do I get my singing voice back

-in time for tonight's concert?

-I have an idea

-but I don't think you'd like it.

-That's how we solved

-the mystery of the lost voice.

-How many sandwiches must she eat

-before she gets her voice back?

-200.

-Do you think

-the concert will go ahead?

-I'd say that Tara's

-had a gutsful of singing!

-.
