You must be a sin here and all this way
Hahah
We're antithecable we are. There's more and more of us all the time.
Oh, ant Rhett's the most wonderful of creatures.
Fox, my little pop-eyed froggy mate is, I've asked me to speak on their behalf.
It's these rat sea. They eat frogs. There's so many rats see that if they just have one frog a day each,
today and tomorrow then there'll be no frog left at all.
So what I mean? We're doing our best toad.
We attack the rat headquarters almost every night. Adder and Sinyu as nearly killed the chief rat this morning,
they're going to attack him again this afternoon.
I wish I could do something, but I'm not much more than a frog myself.
I know. What if us foxes were to stand guard around the pond?
There's not enough of us to save all the frogs, but it might make a difference.
Yes, yes, thank you fox. They don't do much to help themselves do they?
I keep telling them, watch out matey's eyes says. Poor little croakers.
Well done, whistler, half three cheers.
For days now, I've had this feeling of impending doom. What are you going to do with me?
I'm going to drop you on a great height.
You one.
Frogs legs, delicious.
Where did he come from?
Great landing whistler, you just missed me.
Nidu, terrible bother with those rats you know. Quite dear park is overrun.
You'll know what to do when you escape and everything will be alright again.
I've tried to escape, but the walls are too high.
My only chance is when the gates are open for the humans to pass through.
This is your chance. Go on now.
Now!
Oh dear, they're going the wrong way.
I did it. I escaped. Go on, plucky. Run!
Oh excuse me, what? What?
Do excuse me.
Who not my mate you know? What?
Can't you keep your distance?
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
What? Can't you keep your distance?
I will, of course, in future.
Shall we hoot together for a while?
Too late in the day for hooting. What? Time for sleep.
I don't think I've ever seen an owl who was more.
Aoudish.
Of course, that's what she says.
What? In one of her dove-like moons.
She?
Who's she?
She?
Oh, just a young owl I know.
Perfect specimen, what?
Pit young for me.
I'm waiting for her to mature.
Then, well, you know, what she'll be my mate.
It's not that I don't like you.
I've enjoyed hooting with you.
You're an ace hunter, an elegant smoker.
Your owlish silhouette against the waning moon is an admirable sight.
It's just that you're old and somewhat tattered.
What?
I need a fresh young owl as a mate.
You do understand, I do.
What?
Wouldn't you better be off to see she's all right?
A cat might have had her in the night.
Or a horse might have trampled her.
Wouldn't that be a pity, what?
You're not upset, are you?
Me?
Why should I be upset?
Well, you know, what?
I don't believe him.
I won't believe him.
There's no fresh, pretty young owl whose silhouette against the waning moon is more admirable than mine.
Yes, he's making her heart.
Oops, a better hide.
I thought I was going to fall in.
Must have been mistaken.
Oh, and Ledge, let's get back to work.
Ow!
Is that you in there?
I thought for one of those stone owls humans have in their gardens.
Couldn't think how it got up here.
Why are you, what?
I was following you.
I wanted to see what your pretty young owl looks like.
I flew into a nice dark hole, but came out covered in this heavy muddish stop.
It's gone hard.
I can't move a feather.
Oh, my own deer owl.
I am so sorry.
This is all my fault.
There is no pretty young owl.
There is only an old, tacky one, covered in hard stuff.
You.
These last few days with you, they're the happiest I've ever known.
I love you.
What?
Say it again.
I'd better pitch some worms.
What?
Very good for your worms.
Never been so happy.
Never.
Greetings, friend.
Have you seen my mole?
He's asleep on your head.
What a relief.
I've been looking for him all morning.
I thought the rats had got him.
I know it's unkind, but I detest rats.
I shouldn't, should I?
Well, I suppose.
Which fox are you?
Plucky.
Plucky.
Oh, of course you are.
The fox who disappeared.
Plucky!
Corn, dash will be so pleased.
She's around somewhere.
I'm having a race with her.
She says, I don't actually need to run the race,
because I'd lose anyway.
Plucky?
Hello, Dashie.
I've missed you.
Yeah, I missed you too.
Don't worry.
Don't worry.
What's wrong with him?
Oh, he's soppy.
Come on, then.
Race him.
I'm going to get him.
I'm soppy.
Come on, then.
Race him.
I'm first and then ever.
Help.
Help.
Help.
It's Adder.
The rats have got her.
They're killing her.
Down by the old hollow tree.
Quick.
Help the poor wee sleathery thing.
Plucky, you'll save her.
Everything will be okay now.
I'll save her.
Be careful, won't you, Plucky?
Plucky's back.
Plucky's back.
What are you crying about this time?
Nothing.
Oh.
That's a fourth time that's happened to Dee.
Ever heard the one about the long tail rat?
Where there was this rat who tied it up in his tail?
Because he was always forgetting things.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
That's a fourth time that's happened today.
Fifth.
I wonder if we, hey wee, hey wee, hey!
What is all this behind this terrible mystery?
Don't you talk to me like that, five-year weezle?
Hey mate, I will.
It's all you're full.
Yeah, you're too likely home.
You always play me busy for everything.
You do, your mom.
But it's really useful all the time.
Isn't that right, Fardo?
You bet.
Do something with them measly!
Guess I'll blame them!
If it wasn't for you,
our beautiful big weasel dog wouldn't have cleared in the river!
You're full!
We'll never forgive you!
We hate you!
We hate you!
Oh, my little ones!
You don't really?
Yes, we do!
Erm
Get lost!
We hate you too!
Yeah!
Ha-ha-ha!
Where did we go wrong?
Oh, I think we should take them back to White Dear Park.
If they have fox to look up to,
they might grow up to be better weasels.
It's all you've got, you measly weasel!
Ha-ha-ha!
No, he loves me!
Ha-ha-ha!
I do!
What a wonderful place!
Yeah!
What's that?
It's making disgusting noises!
Sing at it, that'll shut it up.
Oh, I'm a little weasel,
that's what it's saying!
Because I'm a little weasel,
could sing as well as me!
We, we, we, we,
pig!
Weasel!
Pig!
Weasel!
Pig!
Weasel!
Pig!
Weasel!

You pig!
Weasel!
Pig!
Weasel!
Weasel!
I-I
I'm

Pig!
Oh, I-I
Anyway, that's where you're wrong.
I'm not a pig,
not yet.
I'm a piglet!
This is a wonderful place, isn't it?
Full of exciting things.
Yes, they've been here all day.
I've had my snout and everything.
Where were you from?
New off-not-tikulated truck when it's way to the slaughterhouses.
No.
New what a huge crash is.
No.
That's where I came from.
Don't you have any parents?
Oats.
And humans ate them.
No!
Meet them into sausages.
Yeah!
He was very upsetting at the time.
I don't find him.
This is my sister Clare.
We've got parents.
My name is
I'll never be sausages.
What a funny name!
I just made it up.
Could I meet your parents?
Hahaha!
Oh, my, my!
Oh, mommy loves me!
Oh, you're good just when you're upset.
There's a glow in your eyes after the tears have all dropped.
Stop fuzzing over me and go and find those little weasels.
Go on, twerk.
I'll go then.
Go on, find them.
Hmm.
I'm weak!
Shark!
I'm weak!
Look, we found!
Let's fit in the weasel, though.
A weasel picked up!
Let me weasel, pink dog.
Woof!
Oink!
Take this thing back where you found it.
There he's no family of his own.
And he's our friend.
Yeah!
I'm
I'll never be sausages.
Oh, better hear it.
Mother!
Oh, oh, oh!
Don't ever do that again.
I won't.
Oh!
Oh!
All right, you can keep it.
You are able, legless, scaly, snake in the grass.
You atnist and nist, of my little baby rats.
You, pies and dumb, we get dirty, great things.
Swallow them all, you did.
But we got you now, ain't we, Lads?
Yeah!
Bones!
Bones!
Viennew ass!
Now you're yelling for that other horrible bit of rope.
We got him underground, trapped.
We caged the tunnels in all around him.
Clever boy.
Yeah.
Ah!
Letlet me boy.
He's dead.
It's killed him at devil poison indeed.
I remember the first rabbit he drank home.
Let me boy.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Collect!
Collect!
Ah!
If any of you rats find any, just one bite, my you.
I'll bite this filthy rat's head off.
You are, a hero, my head.
And my legs, they'll tear their evil state to bits.
Won't you, Lads?
Who am I?
All right, let her go, and I'll let him go.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Oops.
Hello, Edda.
Lucky.
Delighted to see you again.
You can see it, little fox.
You really think you can beat Bully and his rats.
I'll get you.
I will just wait.
Lucky.
Oh, lucky my own cub, you're back.
You're safe.
I'm all right.
I can take care of myself.
Phew.
Did I miss anything?
I don't understand yet.
