Hmm-hmm.

THEY STOP PLAYING

Huh! Sorry!

Me just can't get this groove right.

No worries, take your time, Scratchy.

SHE PLAYS

RADIO CRACKLES

'Easy Crew, hello, hello, are you reading me?

'Message from the President's sister. Everyone, listen to me.

'Someting strange been going on. And it been going on a lot.

'There's got to be a reason. But me just can't find out what.

'So me need you here, now!'

Hmm, that's strange.

Me wonder what she wants.

We'd better go and check it out. Easy Crew, come on!

Ho-ho!

Yo, Easy Crew.

Yo, Sasha. Wa'gwan?

Did the President ask you to call us in to solve a problem?

No, it's him who is the problem.

So, the President's the problem?

He meant to be playing the king at the orphans' play.

But there's no sign of me brother. Me think him gone away.

He missed his special breakfast and he's acting very strange.

No way for our President to behave. Me not know what caused this change.

-The orphans are putting on a play?

-Tonight.

If Wensley gets back in time to play part of the king.

Me wonder where him gone.

Me not know. But me think he should be back here practising him acting.

-WHISPERS:

-Him not really very good.

No afraid, now, Sasha, we'll find him.

Wait! That's not all. Me also get a call from the library.

-That Red man, him got a problem, too.

-Did he say what it was?

Me forget. Me too concerned about Wensley.

Leave it to us. Come on, Easy Crew.

And when the king finish him speech,

me want you all to take a bow,

just like this.

Oh, likkle ones, you all look so tired.

-Yo, Bandulu.

-Easy Crew!

What's up? You look worried. Are da likkle orphans OK?

Them's OK, but the oddest ting happened last night.

The orphans were kept awake

by a mystery voice coming from outside the orphanage.

A mystery voice? What did it say?

Me not know. But it kept saying the same ting over and over.

And you not see who it was?

No, by the time I come out to look, the voice had stopped.

That sounds strange. Easy Crew, we've got to get to the library.

And keep our eye out for the President.

And we'll keep an ear out for your mystery voice, too.

Thanks, Rastamouse.

Me better get on with getting ready for the orphans' play.

Ah, cool. Laters, Bandulu.

Laters, guys.

Yo, Red man!

Shh!

This is a library!

-Me sorry, Red man.

-The Pres's sister said you got a problem?

A mouse will not stop talking behind the bookshelves,

and I don't know why. It's driving me crazy.

What does mouse say when you ask them to shush?

I don't know. Every time I try to find out who it is,

this mouse just disappears.

So you've been hearing a mystery voice? Hmm.

D'you tink it's the same voice that kept the orphans awake last night?

Me think we need to look for clues.

Come on.

Ah-ha!

What you found?

Some books.

Well, this is a library.

But these have all been left open. They're all about the same ting.

-What's that?

-How To Be A Good Actor In A Play.

So, that's books on acting.

And two mystery voices.

Hmm. Maybe there's two voices.

Or maybe it's the same mouse twice.

Hmm. Let's go, Easy Crew.

What you reckon, Rastamouse? How we going to find the mystery voice?

-Don't forget we're still looking for the President.

-Me need to tink.

Hey, Rastamouse, Easy Crew.

-Yo, Miss Maxi. Wa'gwan?

-You been digging for rare cheese again?

Me sure have. Though me not been finding any.

Shame that machine's for finding cheese

and not a mystery voice detector.

Why would me need one when me already detect a mystery voice?

Huh? What?

Ya heard a mystery voice? Where?

In da caves. Me not know what it was saying, but it sounded spooky.

Thanks, Miss Maxi.

Come on, Easy Crew. To the caves.

ECHOING VOICE

Eh?

-Who is that?

-And what are they saying?

There's only one way to find out.

We need to go inside.

-You sure?

-You're safe with us, Zoomer.

The world is smiles...

Look!

Ah! Me can't believe it. Da President.

What's he doing?

OK, just try one more time. Ready...

and...action!

Brighter smiles and world is the king...

No, no, me sorry.

All right, all right.

It's OK, Mr President.

Don't worry, we're going to get this right. Now...

"Smile and the world is brighter!"

Smile and the world is brighter.

FOOTSTEPS

Who dat?

Yo, Wensley Dale.

It's just the Easy Crew. Wa'gwan?

Oh, noting. Me just chatting to Spike.

A nice, normal chat.

In a cave?!

You sure you not been chatting in the library,

or outside the orphanage?

Bandulu and Red been telling us about hearing voices.

Oh, you're right, Rastamouse.

That was me. Rehearsing for me part.

But me never done no acting and me not know where to start.

But you're always making speeches! It's what you're good at.

But this acting in a play is different!

And Sasha not think me very good. She even laughed at me rehearsal.

She said the President's nothing like

as good as she used to be when she was on the stage.

-Me lost me confidence.

-So you've been practising?

Me try to find places where nobody would hear, but me got found out.

But Spike Cheez must have helped.

Well, yeah, I don't think so.

You see, he's still so nervous.

Ooh, me not know what to do, Rastamouse.

You've got to help me.

Hmm, we'll try our best.

There, now you look like a king. Maybe you'll feel like a king.

Have another go.

The world is smiles brighter...

No, no...

Me poor is me king...

Me doing a good ting...

Oh, me can't do it when you're staring at me.

OK, me turn me back until you get into it.

-Erm... Whenever you're ready.

-Oh!

Mr President?

Me sorry, Rastamouse. But it not good.

Me never going to be able to act as the king tonight.

Ooh!

Me going to let them likkle orphans down.

You just need to take a break.

You can try again later.

Ah, me suppose so.

Me need a solution...

and fast.

Scratchy, dat's amazing. Irie, man.

-Thanks, Rastamouse.

-But how did you manage to get that rhythm right?

Stopped worrying and concentrate on what me do.

Me practise normally like every day.

Normally? Like every day?

Hmm. That give me an idea.

Me need to call the President.

PHONE RINGS

Greetings! Ah, Rastamouse.

You tink me just need to pretend it's like a normal speech?

And do all the tings that me normally do? Are you sure?

Hmm, OK, me guess that plan there sound proper.

Remember, you just need to go through your normal routine.

Like you was making a speech.

So, a piece of cheese pie?

Me had some for me tea.

-Your shirt?

-Clean and pressed.

Your tie?

Knotted and tied.

Then dat's it.

Not quite. Don't forget me lucky coin.

Ah. Now you're ready.

And just in time to go on stage.

OK, here me go.

Just do what me normally do, right?

That's right. It worked for Scratchy.

Good.

CHEERING

And now, everybody bow to the king!

Smile and the world is brighter.

Just hold my paw, and me is king.

We all love to see a bad ting made good,

and being helped by my friends is worth more than bling!

CHEERING

Now, that was proper acting.

-Irie, man.

-Yes, Wensley, it was perfect. A proper king.

Me so sorry about the tings me said.

That's OK. The king forgives you.

Thank you, King Wesley.

-This track is hotter than hot, Rastamouse.

-Cool, man.

-True, that.
