-Good morning, how are you today?

-Good morning, how are you today?

-

-Tired, to be honest.

-I've worked my socks off.

-Everyone wants a cuppa.

-I don't have any clean

-cups or saucers.

-What can I get you?

-Coffee for me.

-Tea for me.

-And two slices of that cake.

-No problems. I'll just fetch

-some clean cups and saucers.

-How strange.

-Where's my tea towel?

-I'm so sorry, I don't have

-any clean crockery for you.

-Don't worry.

-We'll take two slices of cake

-back to the office...

-..and have a cuppa there.

-I don't have a clean knife

-to cut the cake.

-Don't worry -

-we'll take the whole cake.

-There we go.

-Be careful.

-I'll be as careful

-as a lion guarding its lunch.

-Rargh!

-Now then, where's my tea towel?

-I can't run a cafe

-without clean crockery.

-Phew! That was close.

-Come on, Prys.

-What a lovely, shmovely smell.

-Are you OK, Radli?

-Champion, thanks.

-An accident?

-An accident?

-

-No.

-I'm enjoying the sunshine.

-A sunhat would be handy

-but Mrs Tomos didn't have any left.

-Why don't you wear

-your postman's hat?

-It's too heavy and dark

-to wear in the sunshine.

-You should wear something.

-The sunshine is strong.

-Taid used to wear

-a handkerchief on his head.

-I should find a handkerchief

-to wear.

-And you need plenty

-of suntan lotion.

-I'll fetch some from the shop later.

-Barti said it would be even hotter

-tomorrow. He's going sailing.

-It would be nice

-to go for a trip on the sea.

-He has a huge hole in his sail

-that needs to be mended first.

-Right then, we'd better go.

-We have a cake to eat.

-Phew!

-Can Barti have a plaster?

-He's hurt his finger.

-Don't bleed over my new tea towels.

-I don't have any left, sorry.

-Barti was in such a hurry.

-He wanted a plaster.

-He's been in once to buy

-a needle and thread. He's so busy.

-I'm busy too.

-I haven't sat down all day.

-I can't sit down. My backside hurts.

-I raced

-on Enid the unicycle yesterday.

-Painful.

-I need a tea towel.

-All mine have disappeared.

-No problems. There's a box

-full of tea towels by your feet.

-The box is empty, Mrs Tomos.

-They're definitely there.

-I saw 12 of them this morning.

-Yes, well, yours have disappeared

-too. Has someone stolen them?

-A strange things to steal.

-Sound the alarm!

-There's a mystery to solve

-of that there is no doubt.

-Where are the detectives?

-Give them a shout.

-Charge your batteries.

-Let's solve a mystery.

-OK, Mrs Tomos?

-Do you want to sit down?

-No, thank you.

-Unless you have a big pillow.

-Her backside hurts after taking part

-in an unicycle race.

-How was the cake?

-How was the cake?

-

-I don't know.

-We had no clean plates.

-I washed them but couldn't dry them.

-I washed them but couldn't dry them.

-

-Our tea towel has disappeared.

-12 of mine are missing.

-Five of mine.

-Five?

-That means there's...

-lots of missing tea towels.

-They were here this morning.

-Woof! Mrs Tomos,

-who visited the shop this morning?

-Radli was here earlier

-searching for a sunhat.

-But you had none.

-No. Then Barti came in

-to buy a needle and thread.

-Then he came back for a plaster.

-He almost knocked into me

-in his hurry to leave the shop.

-He was clutching his stomach

-as if he was in a lot of pain.

-Then I wanted to buy a tea towel

-My nose is tingling,

-let's do some investigating.

-Me too.

-The investigating,

-not my nose tingling.

-My tea towels have disappeared.

-Oh, dear.

-Do you have any suntan lotion?

-I'll check.

-What are you doing on the floor?

-We've hunted and searched,

-pondered and mithered...

-..and now

-we have discovered the truth.

-For some strange reason, someone has

-stolen Llan-ar-goll-en's tea towels.

-Why, and who did it?

-Radli?

-Or Mrs Tomos and her sore backside?

-Or is Barti involved

-in this strange mystery?

-Poor Barti!

-Prys is in a hurry

-to unmask the tea towel thief.

-Tea towels disappearing

-from Beti's cafe...

-..and Mrs Tomos' shop.

-And our office.

-And our office.

-

-Precisely, Ceri.

-It's quite a mystery.

-But not for Llan-ar-goll-en's

-eagle-eyed detective.

-Slow down, Prys...

-Slow down, Prys...

-

-Shush, Ceri.

-I'm about to reveal

-that the tea towel thief is...

-..Radli Miggins.

-My grandfather used to wear

-a handkerchief on his head.

-I should find a handkerchief

-to wear.

-You were looking

-for a handkerchief or a tea towel...

-..to protect your head

-from the sunshine.

-Here it is.

-That's not mine.

-Nor mine.

-Nor ours.

-This is Taid's handkerchief.

-Why would I steal tea towels?

-I only needed this handkerchief.

-Oh, yeah, fair point.

-It's obvious to me

-that you stole the tea towels...

-..Mrs Tomos Ty Twt.

-Me?

-You've had a sore backside all day.

-Are you OK, Mrs Tomos?

-Do you want to sit down?

-No, thank you.

-Unless you have a big cushion.

-It hurts twice as much now.

-What does someone

-with a sore backside need?

-Anyone? Anyone?

-A large comfortable cushion

-to sit on.

-Mrs Tomos didn't have a cushion.

-She decided to make one using

-all the tea towels she could find.

-Nonsense. I could have used

-my own tea towels to make a cushion.

-Why would I steal any?

-You stole them, Barti.

-Talking through your hat!

-Talking through your hat!

-

-I'm not talking through my hat.

-I talk through my mouth.

-Interesting.

-You cut your finger.

-There were no plasters.

-You wrapped the tea towels

-around your cut.

-Dr Jim gave Barti a plaster. Look.

-Ianto, how did Barti cut his finger?

-He pricked himself while he was

-mending the hole in his sail.

-Interesting.

-Wag my tail and wiggle my nose,

-I've an explanation, so here goes.

-Barti Felyn,

-you took the tea towels.

-I said so.

-Me?

-I don't understand.

-The plaster was an excuse.

-Radli said Barti

-was going sailing...

-..but he had to mend the holes

-in his sail before he could go.

-Can Barti have a plaster?

-He's cut his finger.

-Don't bleed over my tea towels.

-He needed lots of material

-to mend the hole.

-As much as a dozen or more

-tea towels.

-Precisely.

-Barti took the tea towels

-when Mrs Tomos' back was turned.

-He hid them under his coat

-and ran out.

-Well, you naughty pirate.

-That's why Barti

-was holding his stomach.

-Barti! Since you have

-so many tea towels...

-..you can dry

-the pile of crockery in my cafe.

-You won't be sailing any time soon,

-Barti Felyn.

-Ianto, there's a spare tea towel

-for you too.

-That's how we solved the mystery

-of the missing tea towels.

-I'm ready for the sunshine.

-Just a little suntan lotion first.

-Can we eat the cake?

-Of course.

-Oops, boops!

-Prys!

-These tea towels are so handy.

-Tasty, shmasty.
