Um, me know that. It called Moustival.

No, no, no, Winston - the answer is the Gladstonebury Festival.

RADIO CRACKLES

'Rastamouse, come in, come in. Are you reading me?

'Message from President Wensley Dale. Come immediately.'

Come on, crew - looks like we're needed by the pres. Let's shift.

Oh, Easy Crew. Thank goodness you are here. Me need your help aplenty.

Me went along to me study just now

and all me bookshelves, dem is empty.

What?! All your books gone missing?

That's right, Zoomer - dem is gone. Come and see.

-Whoa! There's nah books!

-Now, Rastamouse.

Me sure you can tell that this got me in a tizz,

cos you know me is the mouse who hosts the big annual Mouseland quiz.

Me not understand, Mr President.

Well, in the big quiz competition

me supposed to be asking the contestants all the questions.

But me been one busy president

so me been putting off working out the questions

-me was going to ask.

-And now, cos you have no books,

you can't get them questions ready for the competition.

Correct. You think you can help me?

We need to find where all your books gone.

But we nah have much time to look for clues

so me tink first we need to fix your problem with the quiz questions.

Oh, Rastamouse, that would be most helpful.

Easy Crew, me tink Redmond at the library might be able to help

with dem presidential quiz questions. Let's shift.

-Redmond, wa'gwan?

-Rastamouse, Easy Crew.

As you can see, I have no books.

The library customers have all been borrowing books as usual,

but what is not usual is that they haven't returned any of them.

-Then what are we going to do, Rastamouse?

-Let me think.

Missing books at the presidential mansion and no books at the library?

Redmond, do you have a list of customers who borrowed dem books

-that nah have been returned?

-Yes, the names are all here.

Easy Crew, time to investigate.

-Yo, guys. Did you find any books?

-No books, Rastamouse.

Gladstone Brie said he nah got no book he borrowed

because some mouse showed up in the library van and take it away.

That's what Booker said too.

Ah, that's what Sasha tell me too. What this mouse look like?

Well, Booker say him look a bit scruffy

-but him laid-back and friendly and ting.

-Hmm.

Rastamouse, Easy Crew, were you able to find all of the missing books?

We nah find any of your books yet, but we know they've been collected

by a mouse who's driving the library van.

My library van? No-one else should have been in my van.

How is this possible?

Me not sure but can we have another look at your list of customers?

What ya thinking, Rastamouse?

Easy Crew, if we move real quick then me may have a likkle plan.

-Let's shift.

-But where we are going?

-To the orphanage.

Plenty of books here for sure.

You not tink the orphans took all those books, do you, Rastamouse?

Zoomer, dem likkle ones reading their own library books.

-Dem was all on Redmond's library list.

-Sh, sh, sh!

Me just got dem likkle ones reading and me not want them disturbed.

That's cool. Me was just wondering that once reading time is finished

-whether the Easy Crew might borrow some of them books.

-Wa'gwan?

We're worried there's a mouse taking all the books in Grove Town.

But Rastamouse has a plan to catch this book-loving mouse.

Oh, OK. Me suppose you can borrow dem books.

Cool.

-So, what's the plan?

-Zoomer, shush!

There's a mouse taking all of them books.

Me hoping them orphan library books

going to be to tempting for this mouse to resist.

What is it, likkle ones?

-Ah, you want the Easy Crew to help with your reading?

-Hee-hee-hee!

Me love that one. It's one cool story.

Me remember reading that one myself. It still makes me smile.

-DOOR SHUTS

-Look!

-What?! Oh, no!

-The books, dem gone!

-Nah worry - time to shift.

Likkle ones, we've got some investigating to do

but we'll be back to finish that story later.

Come on, crew - follow dem books.

Look - it one of them orphan library books.

-And there's another one over there.

-And another one.

Look, this way.

Follow that mouse.

-Magnus?

-Oh, yeah - g'day, Redmond.

-Where are you going?

-Well, uh...

-I was just about to...

-Magnus, maybe you might want to tell Redmond

where you got all of dem books you was carrying.

All right. I took the orphans' books and the ones from the library.

I checked Redmond's list and picked them up

from Booker, Sasha and Gladstone Brie.

That is not very cool, Magnus. Not cool at all.

And if you take all the books from the president's mansion as well?

Oh, well, yeah. I snuck in there this avo

when the pres was eating his tucker.

Me also tink that he borrowed the librarian van without asking.

I did, y-yeah. Sorry, mate,

but I was going to bring all the books back afterwards, honest.

You told those trusting mice their books would be safe with you,

but me nah understand - now you got these books,

what is it you're going to do?

I reckoned I'd load the books in the van and take them to my house

where I could read each one in peace and become the cleverest mouse.

But, Magnus, you are already so clever

that I do not understand why you would need to read all the books.

You've borrowed them from the library before.

You tink you can explain?

Well, the great big quiz is coming up and I watch it every year.

It's all those smart Mouseland facts that I really love to hear.

I'd really like to enter to give that quiz a fair go,

but I'm too scared that some of the questions

will be things I just don't know.

If I read all the books in Mouseland I can get my facts real slick

so when they're asking the questions I can answer them real quick.

-Oh, Magnus. There's nothing wrong with not winning.

-True dat.

Just as long as you are always doing your best. Right?

That's right, Zoomer. Doing your best is plenty good enough.

I'm sorry, Rastamouse, Easy Crew. I never meant to cause so much strife.

Magnus, me can see that you know you've done wrong,

but you nah realise that by taking all of them book

Wensley Dale nah have enough time to prepare the questions

-for the great big quiz.

-Oh, sorry, mate.

But me tink may have an idea how to make a bad thing good.

You have to show us where you hid all them missing books,

but first me need to call the pres.

Greetings. Oh, Rastamouse. You did?

All of them? Oh, good.

But what about all the questions for the great big quiz?

Oh, he can?

That plan dere sound proper, Rastamouse.

Magnus, the Easy Crew and Redmond going to help you get

all of dem books back to the right place.

And then me have a likkle job for you.

It's time to use all of your clever skills

to help with the great big quiz.

'Welcome, everyone, to the great big Mouseland quiz.

'And today me pleased to announce

'that we got the most talented quizmaster - Magnus Mouseterson.'

G'day, Mouseland. It's time for the first contenders

to put their paws on the buzzers for the general mouse knowledge round.

And the first question is,

"Who's the swimming instructor for the little orphan mice?"

De likkle orphan mice are taught to swim

by one of the most important mice in Mouseland - President Wensley Dale.

Correct. Good on you.

Man, that Magnus is one wicked quizmaster.

Hee-hee, and me tink Ron going to win this competition for sure.

Hee-hee-hee!
