B-but the last time me had it, it was definitely yesterday

when m-me went out with me Uncle Wensley.

all me know is dat it was the best day ever.

A-and we started out at Ron's barbers,

That's one of the reasons me took that toy mouse with me -

to help me be brave and ting.

M-me had it right in this rucksack and now it gone!

You na' fret now, Frank, cos we going to find dat mouse for ya!

Come on, Crew. We got some searching to do! Laters, Frank.

Laters, Crew.

Me sure there must be more exciting mysteries to solve in Mouseland

than a lost cuddly toy.

Zoomer, you nah see how upset likkle Frank was 'bout losing it?

Fi real.

This may na' be the most exciting case we ever work on,

but me sure this toy is very important

and Frank, him need our help.

Yo, Ron.

Yo, Crew. What can me do for ya?

You here for a whiskers trim too?

Not today, Ron, we're on a mission.

-It's Frank's toy mouse.

-Well, me did see...

-Hold on, Winston!

Me do remember Frank and Wensley coming in,

and Frank was wearing a backpack, but me no seen a toy mouse.

Me was going to say that me did see Frank when him came in,

but me na' see dat toy mouse either.

There's no chance him left it here by mistake then?

No, no, me would have seen it by now.

Do you have any idea where Frank and Wensley might have gone

after coming here?

No, no... Yes!

Actually, they did mention something

'bout going to see some cool guitars somewhere.

Hmm... Somewhere where there is cool guitars...

Oh! Me got it! What about the Mouseland Museum of Music?

Good tinking, Scratchy! Come on, Crew. Let's shift!

Are you guys here to have a look around?

Well, check this out. It's Toots' first ever guitar!

-I just had it restored.

-Restored?

Yeah, what that mean?

Well, restoring something means bringing it back

to its original condition.

Making it look and sound just like it did, back in the day.

That's one cool guitar fi true, Gladstone,

but we no here to look around.

We actually on a mission, looking fi something.

-Have you seen this toy mouse anywhere?

-Nah, sorry, guys.

But me did see Frank and Wensley yesterday,

when they came to check out all these cool guitars.

But no, I didn't see that toy.

Man, that mouse looks like it needs a whole lot of restoring!

Do you have any idea where Frank and Wensley might have gone next?

I'm not sure, guys. Sorry.

But I think I might have heard Frank say he was mega-thirsty.

Tanks for your help, Gladstone. Catch ya later!

-No, me never see that.

Me do remember Frank and Wensley coming by yesterday,

-but me na' see that mouse.

-No worries, Stylee.

Do you have any idea where they might have gone next?

No, but Wensley did mention something about taking Frank

to see all the wonderful landmarks in Mouseland.

Tanks, Stylee, ya solid! Catch ya later.

No tanks, Karma. You're cool! We looking for something.

It's Frank's toy mouse.

Frank and Wensley Dale were coming on one of my open-top bus tours

around Mouseland yesterday.

Frank had a backpack, but I didn't see that little mouse anywhere.

-Do you know where them went after the bus ride?

-No.

I'm terribly sorry, Easy Crew, I have absolutely no idea.

Now, if you'll excuse me, please - I must be getting on.

Tanks, Karma - laters.

but all this searching got me proper exhausted.

Huh? What this?

Zoomer! The toy! You found it!

Nice work, Zoomer.

Tanks, guys - but what we gonna do about his leg and ting?

It look like it gonna fall off any minute!

Hmm... Don't fret now, Zoomer -

-M-me can explain.

M-me sorry, Uncle Wensley. It was me that called the Crew

when me discover me lost your special toy mouse

and me na' know what to do.

-What?!

-That's YOURS, Wensley?!

So that na' Frank in this picture, then, it YOU?

Ahem, well...yes.

Aw, Wensley, you were such a cute baby!

Oh, uh...thanks, Scratchy.

But me still confused. How come you lost it, Frank?

-Me na' even know you had it.

-Me can explain that too.

M-me was nervous about getting me whiskers trimmed,

th-that's why me borrow this likkle toy mouse - to help me be brave.

B-but that wasn't the only reason me took it -

m-me was planning a good surprise.

M-me was going to ask Natty to fix it up -

mend him leg and him poor, likkle eyes.

Frank, me can see that you're sorry and me tink you know that now

you should just ask before you go borrowing tings.

Then you can tink about making a bad ting good.

-M-me sorry, Uncle Wensley.

-That's OK, Frank.

But what me na' understand is, if you lost him,

how come him still end up looking so smart?

It like dis, Wensley - when Zoomer found that mouse 'pon the bench...

Me sat 'pon it accidently and it rip it even more!

So we took it to Natty Cass and ask her to mend it for you.

-And she proper restored it!
