Ah...well...OK.

Me not seen anything exactly.

More like...well...me heard something.

ALL: Oh!

Mm-hmm. And sometimes, when me go back to a room,

things have moved around.

No way!

For real.

That sound bare mysterious!

OK. So, Shorty, we'll come to the museum with you and take a look.

Erm...

Well, here's the thing, Rastamouse.

Shorty can't work at the museum tonight.

That's right, me got called away on...erm...urgent business.

So, that's why me call you, Rastamouse.

You think you can fill in for Shorty at the museum tonight?

That's no problem, Wensley Dale.

Thanks, Rastamouse.

And maybe we can solve the mystery of the strange sounds

and moving objects while we're there!

And me going to check on Redman at the library cos him not answer

any of me calls this morning.

And here we are - the museum.

Come on, Easy Crew. Keep your ears and your eyes open

for anything mysterious.

SCRATCHY GASPS

It look nuff different at night!

ZOOMER GIGGLES

IN GHOSTLY VOICE: Scratchy! Look at me! Ooooohhh!

Eep! Zoomer! That not funny!

And, Zoomer, you must be really careful

some of the things in the museum are proper old.

They've been around a long, long time.

Me sorry.

CLATTERING SOUND

Zoomer?

That not me!

Then we better investigate.

Hey, who there?

There's no-one here, Scratchy.

These mice are all just statues.

Dem not real.

Hey, look at all this cheese!

-And that cheese not real either!

-Aww!

A model of some cheese? Why it not real?

Some things in the museum are proper old,

other things, dem statues, models that show how things used to be

-a really long time ago.

-Oh!

Hey! What this? A notebook, right here upon the floor!

Maybe that's what we heard make a noise,

this notebook falling to the ground.

You think someone dropped it?

Or maybe it fell off the shelf?

-Hmm.

-It's a proper mystery!

Me think it's a clue!

Hmm, we should keep looking. Come on!

Hmm, this room is all full of junk!

No, Zoomer, this room is all about the history of transport.

Look at all these old pirate ships!

There's some more statues here! Oh-ho-ho, ahoy there, Rastamouse!

SHE LAUGHS

But me not think these books should be in this piratey scene.

That's right and them not just any books, dem library books! Hmm!

What you think, Zoomer?

Zoomer!

Ah, him already move onto the next room.

Me thinking now he interested in history, you know.

And him missing out on solving the mystery.

Ah! Check it out!

All the presidents of Mouseland through the ages.

-Boo!

-Argh! Zoomer!

Did me scare you? Eh, Scratchy? Did me make you jump?

We've got a job to do!

Me sorry.

Scratchy, Zoomer, look at this. The door of the cabinet,

it wide open!

What's inside?

Lots of old papers and ting.

Perhaps the door wasn't shut properly and it just swing open?

Or perhaps someone wanted to take a closer look at these old papers!

Hmm.

CLATTERING NOISE

-What dat?

-Let's shift!

I think it came from over there. Come on!

Look! One of dem statues! It fallen over!

Huh! Wait a minute. Where's the other statue?

Me think there were three here before.

Look! Another clue.

A rolled-up sleeping bag and a cheese pie!

ZOOMER SNIFFS

That not statue cheese, that real cheese right dere!

Oh! Me could really go for a cheese pie right now!

Nah, Zoomer. We need the cheese pie to solve the mystery.

Oh, not even one little bite?

Not even one bite, Zoomer.

Leave it dere and let's hide.

Uh-hm?

Letting me know wa'gwan.

ZOOMER SNEEZES

Zoomer!

Me can't help it. This whole place is so dusty and ting!

Shh! Me think someone is coming!

Hit the lights!

Argh! The game's up!

Who's there? Who's that?

Look! It's Redman!

-Yes.

-Why you sneaking about the museum?

-I was just...checking out some history.

-At night?

Erm...yes.

Redman, wa'gwan?

It all started when Wensley Dale wanted a special sort of book,

but he could not find it in the library no matter where he looked.

He wanted to teach the orphans about Mouseland history,

but no book like that has been written.

Why ever not is a real mystery.

So you've been in the museum finding out about the history of Mouseland

so you can write a book?

That is right, Scratchy.

I just love Mouseland history and what I want to do

is share all of these amazing stories with the orphans

and the whole of Mouseland too.

But why you got to come here at night sneaking around?

Cos him work in the library during the day - that right, Redman?

That is true, yes.

So, when you hear Shorty walking about you go and hide?

-Yes.

-Cos you're not really supposed to be in the museum at night.

Not really, no.

Although, me think it's a little bit fun being here in the night-time.

Redman, me see you care a lot about history.

You want all of the mice to know about dem crucial things

that happened in Mouseland long ago,

but me think you're taking on too much

in trying to write this book by yourself,

so me see if me can get some other mice

to give you a little bit of help.

And you can't sneak around a museum at night,

but me got an idea how you could share all of your learning

and knowledge while making a bad thing good.

But first, me just gonna to call the Pres.

PHONE RINGS

Greetings. Ah, Rastamouse, wa'gwan?

Redman?

Tomorrow night, you say?

Ah. That plan does sound proper, Rastamouse.

And here we are in the old cheese room.

This ancient cheese press is the oldest one

in the whole of Mouseland.

Now, I expect you all love cheese.

Well, if you love cheese, then you must love this mouse here.

No-one knows who invented cheese, but we do know that this mouse

brought the first ever cheese to Mouseland.

ALL GASP

Before him, there was not any cheese?

That is right, Zoomer.

Say hello to Cordell Curds-and-Whey.

Hey, yo, Mr Curds-and-Whey! Thanks for all the cheese, brother.

THEY CHEER

The little mice are bare excited to be in a museum at night.

Me know! And Redman is proper good at showing dem

-all a little bit of Mouseland history.

-Dem love it.

It keep them really entertained.

So Rastamouse, what about the book of Mouseland history?

Wa'gwan with that?

Well, me think that all the mice in Mouseland know a little bit

about dem history, so me going to get all of them to help out,

then Redman nah have to do it all by himself.

-Me think that would be a good read when it finished.

-For real.

Every mouse should know a little bit about where they live.
