1.
Copy !req
2. How many worked?
Copy !req
3. Well, ones that were worth summed up.
Copy !req
4. Ah, dammit!
Copy !req
5. I'm sure I must be nearly there.
Copy !req
6. Yes, this is it.
Copy !req
7. This is my place.
Copy !req
8. If I can just keep going a little bit longer, I'll soon be home and dry.
Copy !req
9. I'm going to be home and dry.
Copy !req
10. Look at this place.
Copy !req
11. Just look at it, weasel.
Copy !req
12. Doesn't get any better.
Copy !req
13. I don't know what you're laughing at.
Copy !req
14. How many more homes will we lost today, Owl?
Copy !req
15. Half a dozen semi-detached burrows, three fully furnished squirrel holes,
Copy !req
16. and at least 15 immaculately kept nests.
Copy !req
17. Oh, 16.
Copy !req
18. Chopping away at us every day, still they're not satisfied.
Copy !req
19. Oh, don't look now.
Copy !req
20. There'll be on us any minute, any second.
Copy !req
21. Ah, our days are numbered.
Copy !req
22. Won't belong now, won't belong now, now that they've filled in the pond.
Copy !req
23. Not farving wood pond?
Copy !req
24. Correct.
Copy !req
25. Our last remaining watering hole.
Copy !req
26. Hard luck on the ducks.
Copy !req
27. But we're all right.
Copy !req
28. We've still got the stream.
Copy !req
29. Don't you mean the muddy trickle?
Copy !req
30. Dear Oak, dear.
Copy !req
31. Ah, you hear two foxes.
Copy !req
32. You're thought we'd wander down and...
Copy !req
33. See the situation?
Copy !req
34. Yes, for ourselves.
Copy !req
35. Doesn't look too good, does it, old son?
Copy !req
36. And if those big rains don't come soon, then our outlooks...
Copy !req
37. Dacy?
Copy !req
38. You took the words right out of my mouth.
Copy !req
39. Looks like we've got a bit of a problem.
Copy !req
40. And a major one at that.
Copy !req
41. Important enough to warrant an assembly, I reckon.
Copy !req
42. An assembly fox.
Copy !req
43. A get together.
Copy !req
44. For all the animals?
Copy !req
45. It's not a party weasel.
Copy !req
46. Isn't an assembly a bit drastic?
Copy !req
47. If this isn't drastic.
Copy !req
48. Exactly.
Copy !req
49. Then what is?
Copy !req
50. But a farthing wood assembly fox?
Copy !req
51. Why, we haven't had one of those in years.
Copy !req
52. There only ever call when there's an...
Copy !req
53. Emergency?
Copy !req
54. An id call this an emergency.
Copy !req
55. You took the words right out of my mouth.
Copy !req
56. Not to put too fine a point on it.
Copy !req
57. Without water, we animals of farthing wood are hardly likely to survive.
Copy !req
58. Here, here.
Copy !req
59. I mean, if you wouldn't call that an emergency, what would you call it?
Copy !req
60. Alice?
Copy !req
61. Very funny.
Copy !req
62. But if you don't mind my asking, what'll having some assembly achieve?
Copy !req
63. What can we mere animals do?
Copy !req
64. I'm not sure yet.
Copy !req
65. But I reckon that if you, me, am Badger and Weasel
Copy !req
66. can get every single member of our woodland community together,
Copy !req
67. fast, they may be.
Copy !req
68. One of us might come up with...
Copy !req
69. A solution?
Copy !req
70. Clare the clogs!
Copy !req
71. Clare the clogs!
Copy !req
72. Box is absolutely right, you know everyone.
Copy !req
73. One just can't panic.
Copy !req
74. No, no, no.
Copy !req
75. One really has to roll up one's bed and do something.
Copy !req
76. And that's it.
Copy !req
77. Of course, persuading our not altogether harmonious population
Copy !req
78. to attend such an assembly will not be what you'd call easy.
Copy !req
79. However, I'm sure you'll sort it out, Badger.
Copy !req
80. Yeah, huh?
Copy !req
81. What? Who? Me?
Copy !req
82. Who better?
Copy !req
83. Well, that's awfully decent of you, Foxbeta.
Copy !req
84. I mean, after all, you know every one of us here about, Stungy.
Copy !req
85. Biggest busy body in the ward.
Copy !req
86. Shut up, Weasel.
Copy !req
87. And everybody knows you.
Copy !req
88. So?
Copy !req
89. Oh, absolutely, Fox.
Copy !req
90. Yeah, just leave them all the arrangements served to me.
Copy !req
91. That's my Badger.
Copy !req
92. You, I could rely on you.
Copy !req
93. Well, don't just stand there dithering as usual, Rabbit.
Copy !req
94. Off you go, and, um...
Copy !req
95. And, and... don't panic.
Copy !req
96. And, uh, alert hair, of course.
Copy !req
97. And as for you, Hitcho Go Chepa,
Copy !req
98. just roll yourself up and, uh, roll yourself off and start looking for, uh, the... the nutes.
Copy !req
99. Ah!
Copy !req
100. Right, you, our Badger.
Copy !req
101. Sorry, Weasel.
Copy !req
102. Hm?
Copy !req
103. Mo?
Copy !req
104. Did you say Mo?
Copy !req
105. Well, you'll soon come scurrying once he hears all the commotion.
Copy !req
106. What are you going to tell, On Badger?
Copy !req
107. Tell him?
Copy !req
108. Tell everyone where to meet at, um... my place.
Copy !req
109. You're set!
Copy !req
110. And what is wrong with my set Weasel?
Copy !req
111. Oh, nothing, Badger.
Copy !req
112. Nothing at all.
Copy !req
113. I only...
Copy !req
114. Get to the point, Weasel.
Copy !req
115. Well, it's all right for you and me, and the shrews and the field mice.
Copy !req
116. We're creatures of the underground, right?
Copy !req
117. We're used to it.
Copy !req
118. Only...
Copy !req
119. Only what?
Copy !req
120. The birds ain't gonna like it, Mo.
Copy !req
121. The birds ain't gonna like it much, are they, Badger?
Copy !req
122. Imagine how early!
Copy !req
123. Ahahaha!
Copy !req
124. Anke's true.
Copy !req
125. They aren't gonna like it, are they?
Copy !req
126. Yes, we won't be for long.
Copy !req
127. And I'm sure they'll realise it's, um, in a good cause.
Copy !req
128. Okay.
Copy !req
129. Well, don't just stand around Weasel.
Copy !req
130. Make yourself useful.
Copy !req
131. Me?
Copy !req
132. Let's go and alert a few voles.
Copy !req
133. And so, Mrs. Moul, Fox and I,
Copy !req
134. are agreed that the situation we are facing is so severe,
Copy !req
135. as to merit a meeting.
Copy !req
136. What's he doing on about?
Copy !req
137. He's worried whether you're eating.
Copy !req
138. Oh, shut up.
Copy !req
139. We're having a meeting in my chambers.
Copy !req
140. I eat where I like.
Copy !req
141. A meeting at...
Copy !req
142. Sunset.
Copy !req
143. And please, don't be late, Mrs. Moul.
Copy !req
144. And tell the others.
Copy !req
145. Bring your brothers.
Copy !req
146. And tell all the field mice.
Copy !req
147. And tell all the shrews.
Copy !req
148. Okey dokey.
Copy !req
149. Sunset.
Copy !req
150. Sunset.
Copy !req
151. Sunset.
Copy !req
152. Sunset.
Copy !req
153. Sunset.
Copy !req
154. Sunset.
Copy !req
155. Is there anyone at all we've forgotten, Weasel?
Copy !req
156. There is.
Copy !req
157. Yes?
Copy !req
158. Your friend and mine.
Copy !req
159. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
160. Hey!
Copy !req
161. Ah!
Copy !req
162. Make sure you impress upon her,
Copy !req
163. that we haven't called this meeting so she can gorge herself on everyone present.
Copy !req
164. You'll be lucky.
Copy !req
165. Now what you're doing, Badger?
Copy !req
166. Why, enlarging my set, of course.
Copy !req
167. If a lot of woodlanders come this evening, you know Weasel.
Copy !req
168. So make yourself useful.
Copy !req
169. How, Badger?
Copy !req
170. Hmm. Why by collecting a few glowworms, of course.
Copy !req
171. You-hoo!
Copy !req
172. You-hoo!
Copy !req
173. Sounds like somebody's here already.
Copy !req
174. Oh, somehow I thought it might be you, Owl.
Copy !req
175. You're surely not expecting us to go down there, are you?
Copy !req
176. Yes.
Copy !req
177. Out of the question, won't get me down there.
Copy !req
178. Tau-chisou!
Copy !req
179. He who dwells in the soil, himself becomes soiled.
Copy !req
180. He who dwells in the light, shall find and know where to go.
Copy !req
181. And shall find enlightenment.
Copy !req
182. Owl, I know I can rely on you to set an example.
Copy !req
183. And I assure you that my home is quite spotless.
Copy !req
184. Well, if you put it that way.
Copy !req
185. Hmm.
Copy !req
186. One down and...
Copy !req
187. Hello squirrels, just follow the nudes.
Copy !req
188. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
189. Follow the field by tears.
Copy !req
190. Follow the field by tears.
Copy !req
191. Not later, we better.
Copy !req
192. Only you know what the females are like.
Copy !req
193. Thanks a long to get ready, eh?
Copy !req
194. It's always my fault.
Copy !req
195. Of course.
Copy !req
196. Now, are we all here?
Copy !req
197. Not last, am I, Badger?
Copy !req
198. Well, somebody has to be at her.
Copy !req
199. Just follow the glow worms and don't eat.
Copy !req
200. Shucks!
Copy !req
201. I was looking forward to a few glow worms.
Copy !req
202. Now, listen everybody.
Copy !req
203. Someone's missing.
Copy !req
204. Oh, you know who.
Copy !req
205. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
206. Sorry.
Copy !req
207. Am I late for something, Badger?
Copy !req
208. You're always late for everything, Mo.
Copy !req
209. Now, friends, Adder and fellow woodlanders.
Copy !req
210. What's this all about?
Copy !req
211. Don't get on with it.
Copy !req
212. We need me to underline the gravity of our situation.
Copy !req
213. We're all aware that since the giant earth move has moved in,
Copy !req
214. life in farthing wood has become steadily more and more hazardous,
Copy !req
215. or one and all.
Copy !req
216. I'm still here.
Copy !req
217. First, they devastated our habitat.
Copy !req
218. Now, they've even filled in our pond.
Copy !req
219. It's still weaver.
Copy !req
220. Hang in there.
Copy !req
221. Not it, but unbound.
Copy !req
222. But is there any way out from this dilemma?
Copy !req
223. We're indeed, is the solution to our problems.
Copy !req
224. I'm coming.
Copy !req
225. I'm coming.
Copy !req
226. I'm sure, for example, that no one here needs reminding.
Copy !req
227. At once upon a time, our farthing wood pond was home to 47 indigenous toads.
Copy !req
228. And where are they now?
Copy !req
229. We ask ourselves, what happened to the last?
Copy !req
230. Pompus puffed up toads.
Copy !req
231. Who was always so dear to us all?
Copy !req
232. Hold on, weasel. What's that?
Copy !req
233. I am holding on.
Copy !req
234. It appears to be.
Copy !req
235. Yes?
Copy !req
236. A foot.
Copy !req
237. I'm here, mateys. I'm coming.
Copy !req
238. Toad.
Copy !req
239. Your powers of deduction are admirable, Badger.
Copy !req
240. Ha ha! Same old alley.
Copy !req
241. Same old toad.
Copy !req
242. Hey, you're not here.
Copy !req
243. Same old toad.
Copy !req
244. You never thought you'd see me again, Amy, is?
Copy !req
245. We were so sad, you snuffed it.
Copy !req
246. Where have you been?
Copy !req
247. Where have I been more like?
Copy !req
248. Taken away against my will, weren't I?
Copy !req
249. Captivate, I were, and took off in a jam jar.
Copy !req
250. Er, but all the time I were away, I kept saying to myself,
Copy !req
251. Toad, you must get home.
Copy !req
252. It was the thought of you luck kept me going.
Copy !req
253. Fancy.
Copy !req
254. Must get back to my mateys or keep thinking.
Copy !req
255. Must get back to my...
Copy !req
256. Pond.
Copy !req
257. Exactly.
Copy !req
258. Speaking of which, I'm afraid.
Copy !req
259. What?
Copy !req
260. There's some rather bad news, Toad.
Copy !req
261. It's your...
Copy !req
262. Pond, Toad.
Copy !req
263. It's been filled in.
Copy !req
264. What?
Copy !req
265. You see, Toad, you have to understand
Copy !req
266. There have been a great many changes.
Copy !req
267. While you've been away.
Copy !req
268. But my Pond!
Copy !req
269. Gone completely, I'm afraid.
Copy !req
270. And the Newt's puddle.
Copy !req
271. And the stream.
Copy !req
272. Just a muddy trickle now.
Copy !req
273. Which is why we've called this assembly Toad.
Copy !req
274. Oh!
Copy !req
275. You never get to hold this meeting.
Copy !req
276. You see, we've got to face Fax Old Sun.
Copy !req
277. As a community, we're all but finished here.
Copy !req
278. Man, and his machines have seen to that.
Copy !req
279. Don't talk to me about those machines!
Copy !req
280. I know all about them!
Copy !req
281. In fact, it must be obvious to everyone here that...
Copy !req
282. If we don't find a new watering hole within the next few days...
Copy !req
283. Then we're going to be in the very worst kind of this stress.
Copy !req
284. If you know what I'm mean.
Copy !req
285. Could we try digging for water?
Copy !req
286. In earth as dry as a biscuit, don't be silly, Mole.
Copy !req
287. What about you, birds?
Copy !req
288. You get about a bit, don't you?
Copy !req
289. Got any idea where we could go?
Copy !req
290. Not really, Fax.
Copy !req
291. You see, big game birds, the wife and I don't venture out of the wood very much.
Copy !req
292. Always the day you're a big...
Copy !req
293. Shot at, you see?
Copy !req
294. Quite.
Copy !req
295. I know, is a place that we could go to.
Copy !req
296. Woo!
Copy !req
297. Asked you!
Copy !req
298. It's a great little place.
Copy !req
299. A wonderful place.
Copy !req
300. Poor old Toad.
Copy !req
301. Obviously, rambling, poor fella.
Copy !req
302. Purpose built for animals like us.
Copy !req
303. Was it really Toad?
Copy !req
304. I calls it White Deer Park, Mole.
Copy !req
305. White Deer?
Copy !req
306. It is a nature of preserve.
Copy !req
307. Is it really?
Copy !req
308. It's a place where all wild creatures are protected by humans.
Copy !req
309. If such a place existed, I would know about it.
Copy !req
310. Did you come upon this dear White place on your travels, Toad?
Copy !req
311. That I did molly her.
Copy !req
312. Dear White Park, eh?
Copy !req
313. Hm.
Copy !req
314. White Deer Park.
Copy !req
315. Never heard of either of them.
Copy !req
316. Well, I know it well.
Copy !req
317. And nowhere is better, I reckon.
Copy !req
318. Well, Fax.
Copy !req
319. What do you think?
Copy !req
320. Have we any alternative?
Copy !req
321. Quite.
Copy !req
322. Then White Deer Park, it is everyone.
Copy !req
323. What?
Copy !req
324. All those in favour.
Copy !req
325. Hi.
Copy !req
326. Well done Toad.
Copy !req
327. We're going away, we're going away, we're going to White Deer Park.
Copy !req
328. We're going away, we're going away, we're going to White Deer Park.
Copy !req
329. We're not gonna stay.
Copy !req
330. And it's all gonna be a great luck.
Copy !req
331. Really just hang on a minute, you lot.
Copy !req
332. We're going away, we're going away, we're going to White Deer Park.
Copy !req
333. Excuse me.
Copy !req
334. Happens there's someone else here, as like to be...
Copy !req
335. heard?
Copy !req
336. Typical hair.
Copy !req
337. Trust him to spoil things.
Copy !req
338. Well, hair, what is it?
Copy !req
339. We're all ears, hair.
Copy !req
340. Do I hear right, or do I not hear right?
Copy !req
341. Are you actually suggesting, Badger, that we travel to this ear?
Copy !req
342. White Deer Park?
Copy !req
343. To get that?
Copy !req
344. Of course here.
Copy !req
345. Naturally.
Copy !req
346. You mean vegetarians like us, alongside our natural enemies?
Copy !req
347. The carnivals?
Copy !req
348. Well...
Copy !req
349. You're expecting us to accept having a fox along with us?
Copy !req
350. And a thing with claws?
Copy !req
351. Steady on her.
Copy !req
352. And as for that slimy, slithery, sneaky snake?
Copy !req
353. Did someone mention more?
Copy !req
354. It's eaten half our field-mouthed population already!
Copy !req
355. Yes, they're so tasty.
Copy !req
356. Hair's got a point, Badger.
Copy !req
357. Which is easily overcome.
Copy !req
358. How, Becca?
Copy !req
359. By the reintroduction of the ancient woodland bow.
Copy !req
360. And what the heck's that when it's a tom?
Copy !req
361. My late father remembered it when those men first started cutting down our trees
Copy !req
362. to build their little brick and glass boxes.
Copy !req
363. It was called the Oath of Mutual Protection.
Copy !req
364. Oath of Mutual Protection?
Copy !req
365. It's a promise, not to frighten.
Copy !req
366. Terrorize nor consume one another.
Copy !req
367. Not eat one another?
Copy !req
368. How's the snakes supposed to survive?
Copy !req
369. Quite.
Copy !req
370. So if you'll all please raise your right paw.
Copy !req
371. Or claw.
Copy !req
372. And repeat after me, I, name of animal.
Copy !req
373. I, name of animal.
Copy !req
374. No, I told, or of...
Copy !req
375. I remember it.
Copy !req
376. Yes.
Copy !req
377. I feel a little solemnly swear.
Copy !req
378. Do solemnly swear?
Copy !req
379. Not to swallow anybody.
Copy !req
380. Not to swallow.
Copy !req
381. Except when nobody's looking.
Copy !req
382. While on route to this place of toes.
Copy !req
383. Toe will obviously be our guide on our journey.
Copy !req
384. And leader and just guide, I think Toad.
Copy !req
385. But Toad is right.
Copy !req
386. We will need a leader.
Copy !req
387. Someone we could look up to.
Copy !req
388. Someone cunning and courageous.
Copy !req
389. And preferably not a snake.
Copy !req
390. Joaking.
Copy !req
391. I therefore nominate Fox to be our leader.
Copy !req
392. Fox?
Copy !req
393. Huh?
Copy !req
394. Are you off your trolley?
Copy !req
395. Fox.
Copy !req
396. Thanks a bundle, Badger.
Copy !req
397. Fox?
Copy !req
398. Oh, hi, Fox.
Copy !req
399. No, no, no, no.
Copy !req
400. Fox has all the right qualities here.
Copy !req
401. He's an experienced traveler.
Copy !req
402. He eroses far and wide over all sorts of terrains.
Copy !req
403. And he's used to scavenging.
Copy !req
404. Oh, don't be like that, Owl.
Copy !req
405. We can't all be leader.
Copy !req
406. Now, I'm sure we all got lots of things to do before we leave.
Copy !req
407. And cleaning our fur coats.
Copy !req
408. No, just don't forget midnight.
Copy !req
409. We meet by the great beach of midnight.
Copy !req
410. Midnight.
Copy !req
411. Midnight.
Copy !req
412. Midnight.
Copy !req
413. Midnight.
Copy !req
414. Midnight.
Copy !req
415. Midnight.
Copy !req
