The Tale of the Great Cake Chase Peter Rabbit

-# Let's go! Peter Rabbit

-Go on and run, run for our lives

# We'll tear a hole in every fence and every wall

# Run through the fields Run wild and free

# And grab a piece of every radish that we see

# Go day and night Go for it all

# It's time to fly Come on, the wind's begun to blow

-# Let's go!

-Cos you and I we weren't made for going slow

-# Let's go!

-Adventure calls, the game is on!

-# Come on!

-Let's go! Peter Rabbit!

-# Let's go!

-Peter Rabbit!

-# Let's go!

-Peter Rabbit!

# Let's go! #

Come on, Lily! Hurry, Benjamin!

Where are we going?

-BENJAMIN PANTS

-Coming!

We don't run like this unless we're being chased by Mr Tod.

Are we being chased by Mr Tod?

Nope. I promised Mum we'd go to Ginger and Pickles' shop for her.

-Oh, and I just like running fast.

-So...let me get this straight.

Mr Tod's not chasing us?

-Ahem, ahem.

-Huh?

-I wouldn't be so sure about that.

ALL: Mr Tod!

Off shopping? Well, it so happens I'm shopping too.

-For rabbits! Grrr...

-Run!

-Whoa!

-Ha-ha-ha.

Sorry, Mr Tod. Your shopping ends now!

Ooh! Argh! Come back here. Oh.

THEY LAUGH

Huh?

-Where is everybody?

-Um, Ginger? Pickles?

-SQUAWKING

-Aah!

-Mrs Puddle-Duck?

-Ha!

-DUCKLINGS CHIRP

THEY GIGGLE

Oh, my! I'm not really Ginger or Pickles.

I'm just minding the shop while they run errands.

-How may I help you today?

-Let's see.

-We need some bread.

-Bread. I know right where that is.

Bread... Bread! I'm sure it's here somewhere.

Oh! Oh, oh, it seems we're all out of bread.

Isn't that bread over there, Mrs Puddle-Duck?

Well, lookity-loo, so it is.

I'm a little new to this but I promised Ginger and Pickles

their shop would be in good hands.

-Well, wings!

-Whoa!

-Ha-ha-ha!

I look after the shop just like I look after my ducklings.

Ducklings? Ducklings? Oh, where are my ducklings?

Waaah! Oh, deary, dear.

-Quack, quack! Quack!

-Whoa!

But, Mrs Puddle-Duck, what about...

-the shop?

-Oh. Yes.

PETER SIGHS

TUMMY RUMBLES

I'm full of tummy growls and rumbles when I should be full of cake.

Oh, what I wouldn't do for some oo-ey, goo-ey sweetness.

-Oh, oh!

-Oh, dear! Come back, ducklings!

I have to mind the shop! Oh, come back! Aaaah!

Hm... If that dotty duck isn't minding the shop, then who is?

HE GASPS No-one!

All those sweet treats and scrummy, yummy cakes mine for the taking.

Hee-hee-hee.

Well, it looks like we're in charge now.

Being in charge of a shop is a big responsibility.

And I know that for a fact. You've got to keep your eye on everything.

I've got this cake covered. Don't worry, I'll look after you.

-Aaaaa...

-Benjamin!

-Huh? Oh, sorry.

-SHE GIGGLES

Well, I guess we can take care of the shop

-until Mrs Puddle-Duck comes back.

-Everything seems pretty quiet.

DOOR OPENS

-Good morning!

-Hello.

-What a busy day.

-Hi!

-Service!

-May I help?

-Coming!

Hee-hee-hee.

An empty shop means yummy, scrummy cakes are mine, all mine!

Hee-hee-hee. Cake! Mm...

LOUD CHATTERING AND SHOUTING

Excuse me. One at a time, please!

CHATTERING CONTINUES

Hm, that shop isn't empty!

Getting my mitts on some cake might be tougher than I thought.

-Over here!

-Ahem.

-Yes, sorry, what was that you wanted?

We've got brown cheese, blue cheese and Swiss cheese.

Which one will it be?

All of them!

-OK, this way, please.

-Oh. Ribbit!

I just can't decide on which tin to choose. What do you think, Lily?

Um... Sardines are sardines, aren't they?

This way, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle.

Come on now, Benjamin, it's wash day tomorrow and washing won't wait.

I'll be needing soap and a new washboard and a clothesline.

Soap, um...washboard...um, and other thing you said.

-Clothesline.

-Hang on.

-There we go, all the cheese.

-Thank you.

This shop was a lot easier to run

when no-one was here to buy anything.

Hm...

I think I'll choose this tin! No, wait!

-SHE SIGHS

-That one! Oh, how does one decide?

Hee-hee-hee.

-Chop chop, Benjamin.

-Yeah!

Hee-hee-hee. While those rabbits are busy,

I can take, take, take my cake, cake, cake.

-Service!

-Coming!

-Oh!

-I've made a decision, Lily.

-Great.

I'll take this one!

-Oh.

-Aaah! Look out!

THEY ALL SHOUT

Oh, dear.

Oh, no!

Hee-hee-hee.

Oh!

LILY SIGHS Maybe we're not cut out

for running a shop after all.

We'll have this cleaned up in no time!

I'm sure you will, Peter.

Remember, a tidy workplace makes for a tidy profit.

Thanks for shopping at Ginger and Pickles'. Come again now.

-Whoa.

-Thanks for the cheese!

-Cheese, my favourite!

-Have a nice day. Bye!

Hm. Now which one was the one I wanted?

This one? No. This one? No!

A little help here, Lily!

SHE SIGHS Coming, Mr Fisher.

I'm sure they all taste the same, Mr Fisher.

Now is my chance! Hee-hee-hee.

Bye now! Enjoy that cake. I've had my eye on that all day.

Thanks, I plan to. Hee-hee-hee.

-HE GASPS

-Hey!

Who sold that cake to Sammy Whiskers?

-Sammy Whiskers?

-Not me!

Oh, no!

Sammy Whiskers stole the cake! Let's go!

Ahem, ahem. Lily, I'm waiting.

You guys go after him. I'm dealing with a difficult customer.

-Oh!

-Oh.

PANTING

Why bake a cake when you can take a cake?

-Huh?

-I think he went this way.

-HE GASPS

-Oh, no.

-Aaah!

Ugh. Looks like we lost him.

Sammy Whiskers isn't that fast.

-HE GASPS

-Look! Crumbs!

-Mm...

-Benjamin!

-I need an energy boost.

-Hee-hee-hee.

-There!

-BENJAMIN GASPS

We've got him now!

-Hey!

-BENJAMIN PANTS

Stop!

Whoooaaaaaa!

Come back with our cake!

Oooof.

Cake? No, no.

I'm not ready for dessert just yet. Not till I've had my main course.

-Grrr...

-Waah!

-Waah!

Hey!

# A good rabbit never gives up Never gives in

# Never has a doubt he's going to find a way to win

# A good rabbit

-# A good rabbit

-Rises up just to save the day

-# He always believes he's going to find a way.

-Find a way

# And we believe in you

# A good rabbit never gives up

# A good rabbit never gives up

# A good rabbit never gives up. #

There!

Come back here!

Oh, they've disappeared again. Oh, rabbits!

Hee-hee-hee. Enough interruptions. Time to eat.

Aaaaaaah.

-Aaaaah!

-Noooo!

Nooooo!

I've got it, I've got it.

Ooof. I haven't got it.

Whoa. Ha-ha-ha!

-Yay! What a catch!

-Hm?

I mean, I meant for that to happen.

Nice try, Sammy, but this cake goes back to the shop.

Oh, I don't believe it! No cake for me again!

Oh, cheer up, Whiskers.

It could be worse.

I mean, I wanted rabbit for lunch

but now I'll simply have to make to with rrrr-at!

-Grrrrr.

-Aaaaah!

Come back here!

Thank you.

Oh-ho, cheerio!

-I think we better get this place cleaned up.

-That's OK.

At least we got the cake back. Right, Benjamin?

Yep, safe and sound!

Waaaaah! Oooof.

-Oh, no!

-The cake!

Uh... Maybe no-one will notice.

-I think they might, Benjamin.

-THEY SIGH

Who thought running a shop would be so hard?

After finding a washboard for Mrs Tiggy-Winkle,

choosing sardines for Mr Fisher AND finding cheese

with the right amount of holes for the mice, we couldn't save the cake!

It's ruined.

Oh, poor little cake. What have I done to you? I'm so sorry.

And you were so tasty, too.

-We'll just make a new one.

-But how, Peter?

There's nothing in my just-in-case pocket that could fix this!

Maybe not but a good rabbit never gives up

and we've got everything we need here.

It is a shop, after all.

Ta-da! A completely different but totally scrumptious brand-new cake!

Wow, Peter, that's brilliant, isn't it, Benjamin?

TUMMY GRUMBLES Benjamin?

-My tummy alarm says, "Yes."

-Aw!

Shop's cleaned up, cake is made,

now we just need to wait for Mrs Puddle-Duck to come back and...

HUMMING

That's it. Come on, dears, where I can keep an eye, both eyes on you.

SHE LAUGHS

Feathers and fluff, my helpful little rabbits.

Thank you so much for minding the shop.

Although it doesn't look like you've had any problems.

Nope, it was a piece of cake.

THEY LAUGH

Hm, that's odd. I don't remember this.

Mind you, I'd forget my own beak if it wasn't right in front of me.

THEY LAUGH

Ooh!
