СКАЧАТЬ Well, I don’t know…

      Toy. Titmouse, your neighbors ran into trouble!

      Titmouse. I get it.

      Toy. It’s a life-or-death issue.

      Titmouse. But can we really trust you, Toy?

      Toy. I can save them. Which part of it don’t you understand?

      Pause.

      Titmouse. He may be right, guys.

      Yumi. You think so?

      Titmouse. It’s clear that this kitten is a sharp lad.

      Toy. Here you go. That’s what I’m talking about!

      Yang. What do we need to do, Toy? Tell us. We want Greta to come back home too.

      Yin. Yes, Toy, teach us what to do.

      Toy. Take it easy, my friends. We are on track. Trust me.

      Yumi. I am still scared. But now I’ve embraced hope to see my mom again and to save her.

      Toy. Let’s get to it then. Titmouse! Can I commit a highly sensitive task to you?

      Titmouse. I am ready.

      Toy. Fly to the animal control center and test the waters. Wait for us there till evening. As soon as it gets dark, we will enter from the back door. Everything’s clear?

      Titmouse. Yes, I’ll be waiting for you there.

      Toy. Fly then and be careful.

      Titmouse. See you later, my friends.

      Titmouse flies away.

      Toy. Little mice, now there is a task for you. Listen to me carefully.

      Yang. We are waiting for further instructions, boss.

      Yin. What do we need to do, Toy?

      The crow flies in unbeknownst to them and hides itself in the yard of the apartment block.

      Toy. In order to leave the yard without being seen, we should split up. Go ahead. Wait for us near the supermarket. In the event of emergency send out a signal. Everything’s clear?

      Yang. Everything is clear, boss!

      Toy. Boss? Well, I like it. Boss! My dad would be proud of me.

      Yin. We can make a good team.

      Toy. Go now.

      Yumi. See you!

      The little mice cut the yard across and whip out of sight.

      Toy. Are you ready, Yumi?

      Yumi. Yes, I am ready. Give me a couple of minutes. My mom hid a spongy bone for me in the gully, for a rainy day. I will take it along, it will bring us good luck.

      Yumi goes off to the bushes. As soon as he drops out of sight, the crow flies up to Toy.

      Crow. Lord gave me the order to watch you.

      Toy. These fools believe that I will take them to Greta.

      Crow. They will be surprised when they get to your gang hide-out.

      Toy. Tell the boss that I will fulfill his order.

      Crow. Got it.

      Toy. Soon I will take vengeance for my father’s death. I will flush out the police dog named Thunder from his hole. Wherever he is now.

      Crow. Anything else?

      Toy. Tell Melisa that she can be proud of me. Her son will bring two fat and juicy mice for dinner.

      The crow flies away. Yumi comes back.

      Yumi. Here, I’ve brought it.

      Toy. Follow me.

      Yumi and Toy turn to leave, but Pirate suddenly blocks their way. Toy jumps on the fence, Yumi stays put.

      Pirate. Grrr… Riff-raff. You are here again.

      Yumi. We are not riff-raff. My name is Yumi. This is my friend Toy. Let us go, Pirate.

      Pirate. You think your mother will come to your help again, don’t you?

      Yumi. My mom isn’t here. Some people from the animal tormentor gang took her.

      Pirate. Took her? Who?

      Toy. Khorkov and Corkscrew.

      Pirate. Things turned ugly. These people won’t just let her free.

      Yumi. We are going to the animal control center to rescue my mom.

      Pirate. What are you meddling in? You are mad! They will eat you for breakfast.

      Yumi. So be it. It is better than staying here and doing nothing.

      Pirate. Miracles just don’t happen. You can’t save Greta.

      Yumi. Christmas Eve is the time when dreams come true. You should just wish for something with your whole heart, believe in your success and keep moving towards your desirable goal.

      Pirate. Muck for mugs. Life is much more complicated than that.

      Yumi. I made a wish this morning to get a new home for me and my mom. And to meet my father.

      Pirate. And? Did it work?

      Yumi. Not really. I did not expect this new home to be a dog prison.

      Pirate. I like to live on the street though. I am my own master here.

      Yumi. Pirate, please, let us go.

      Pirate. Hold it right there!

      Yumi. I’m holding on.

      Pirate. What a partner you’ve chosen. As crooked as a corkscrew.
