- Well, I'm going to sneak a whole crust.

Well, I'm going to sneak
a whole sandwich.

- Oh, really?
- Yes.

- You can't sneak a whole sandwich.
- How do you sneak a sandwich?

[whispers] Don't listen to them.
[sniffles]

- [sighs] Nice one, Robin.
- What?

Well, the spoon, and the sandwich, and...

Pip, enough of that.

Come on. We've still got plenty to eat.

There's the bag of Earl Grey.

I'm sick of Earl Grey!

[Pip snorting]

[Dad clears his throat] All right.
Well, come on now. Off to bed.

- [Robin sighs]
- [sad music plays]

It's okay, Robin.
We'll figure this out together.

Yeah. I mean, next time, I'll just...

stay away from... spoons. Yeah.

"Crumbs? For the whole family?"

"Yeah. It was easy.
Just got them from a who-man house."

"Oh, wow, Robin!
You're the most amazing sneak ever!"

[creaking]

[thud]

Huh? Hm.

Can't wait to see the look on Pip's face

when I come back
with a crumb the size of his head.

[Robin laughs]

[female choir vocalizing]

Hm.

No. No. No. No.

[Robin] Oh, uh, excuse me.

- Do you know where the...
- No! No. No...

[Robin gasping]

No. No.

Now, that's a yes!

[Robin] Cat! [panting]

[Cat meows]

Oh, dear.

Silly bird, fly!

What? Wait!

[birds yelping, panting]

[suspenseful music plays]

[birds gasping]

- Why aren't you flying?
- [Robin] Oof!

[gasping] I can't fly.

[birds panting, grunting]

Why aren't you flying?

- Well, I've got a broken wing!
- Oh, no. How did that happen?

[Robin yelps]

[purring]

[Robin] Magpie? Wait for me!

[intense music playing]

Phew!

- Let's get you safe indoors, hey?
- [gasps] Thanks. Is the cat still...

Poor little thing.

[grunts, gasps]

[somber music plays]

Oh, awful!

Out there all by yourself...

[gasps] Oh! Oh.

- Oh. Uh...
- [Robin gasping]

- Are we safe in here?
- Ah. Yes. We're safe.

The thorns keep unwanted visitors out.

Usually.

Oh, good.

Is this your house?

It's very...

[sound echoes]

Oh. Why, thank you.
I suppose it is rather, um...

[gasps] Perfect.

Well... [chuckles]

Oh.

- A who-man house.
- [bottle caps clink]

[Robin] Bet they've got loads
of crumbs in there.

Oh. Them. Yes.

They've got loads of everything.

[both sigh]

And all because of that
magic shiny wishing star, eh?

[Robin] Yeah.

- The magic shiny...
- Mm.

Wait. Sorry, what?

The star.

You don't...

[laughs]

Right!

Okay. It must be here somewhere.

[magpie clears throat]

Once a year, the who-mans
take the spikiest tree in the woods,

cover it in tin-soil and boo-bells,

until their tree
is all twinkling and beautiful.

Just like mine.

[creaking, snapping]

Then, they put a shiny magic star on top,

make a wish, and in the morning,
they get anything they want.

Oh.

Like crumbs.

[stammers] Crumbs?

[scoffs] Don't be absurd.

[Robin]
Well, what could be better than crumbs?

[scoffs] "What could be better than..."

Things!

Huh?

♪ Things, they make you happy ♪

♪ Things won't fly away ♪

♪ Things will stick... ♪ Ow.

♪ ...with you till the end
Oh, yes, on things you can depend ♪

[yelps]

♪ See my bathtub? It's designer ♪

♪ Finest china! Well, kinda ♪

♪ Simply must have the latest bottle top
I love it so, I'll never stop ♪

♪ This chair? Hedgehog hair ♪

♪ Pamperclips? I've got the pair ♪

♪ This is a limited edition ♪

♪ Piece of string ♪

♪ I was a bird who couldn't fly
Felt tiny while they flew up high ♪

[bugs gasp]

♪ Surrounded myself
With things so gorgeous ♪

♪ Felt enormous! ♪

♪ So afraid and alone ♪

♪ Things turn a hovel to a home ♪

♪ Got no personality?
I let my lampshade speak for me ♪

Just stuff that hole with lovely stuff ♪

♪ Things are things that make you happy
Who needs friends? I've got a shoe chair ♪

♪ No one there for you to care for?
Polish up your silverware for? ♪

♪ There's no better company
Than one penny ♪

[magpie and bugs sustain last note]

[magpie gasps]

Look, my point is,
wish for something far better than crumbs.

[bugs gasp]

[swallows]

Oh. Right.

[church bells ring]

[Robin] Better than crumbs?

Hm.

[gentle melodic music plays]

[Robin gasps]

Like a... Like a whole sandwich!

[groans] Never mind.

Okay, then.

I'll do it.

- Do what?
- I'll go get the star.

Impossible! It's inside the who-man house.

[Robin] Tsk.

Maybe I forgot to mention?
I was raised by mice.

Explains the ears.

And if there's one thing
us mice are good at,

it's sneaking.

[music crescendos]

Sorry, what?

Oh, like, into houses.

To get stuff. Like, stealing it.

[sighs] Right.

[gasps] Right!

Show me.

[panting]

- [Okay. I'm in.

You'll wake the who-mans!

I'm... I'm being a sneaky mouse.

That's not sneaking.

The whole point of being a mouse
is you don't draw attention to yourself.

[Robin sighs, grunts]

[electrical humming, tinkling]

[melodic music plays]

[Robin] Careful.

[Robin grunts] Care... ful.

- Ow!
- [Robin grunts]

An unexpected visitor.

- [Robin gasps]
- Hm.

Why...

[Robin pants, grunts]

...it's the little bird who

sneaks about on the floor like a...

mouse?

[Robin panting]

And who are you trying to fool
with those... funny things?

- My family are mice, so...
- Mice? Oh.

- Oh, and the ears are...
- [Robin gasps]

- [star tinkles]
- [Cat] Oh.

[laughs] Oh, I see.

[gasps] So tragic. So sad.

Trying to fit in.

[Robin gasps]

You know you'll never be a real mouse.

Oh, no, I...

You see,

you're a misfit.

You're an oddball.

You're a freak.

No, I'm not.

- [gasps] Sneaking?
- [fireworks explode]

[Magpie] You know,
I think we make very bad mice.

- Yes. Quite terrible.
- [people exclaim]

- But who cares? We got the star!
- Terrible?

[sirens wail]

I'm not a terrible mouse.

[somber music plays]

Am I?

[fireworks hissing, banging]

[emergency sirens wailing]

[Magpie grunts] Ah!

[cheery music playing]

This goes here.

Oh, oh, oh!

There we go.

[laughs]

[gasps] Isn't this wonderful?

[sighs] Suppose so.

[scoffs] Well, I hope you thought
of something better to wish for

than a soggy old sandwich.

You know, like a hubcap.
Or a shiny fork. Or a pencil sharpener.

Or... a thimble.

[yawns] Or how about a safety pin...

[yawning]

- [Magpie snores]
- Hmm. Yeah.

[delicate music playing]

[gasps]

Oh!

Well, I... I wish I wasn't a bird.

I wish I was a mouse.

Did it?

No.

It was always a bit of a long shot, eh?

Stars and wishes. Hmm.

[sighs] ...was what it was.

- Huh?

Uh... Dad?

Oh! We've been looking everywhere for you!

- Robin?
- Sorry, I...

I went to sneak us some crumbs, but,

it all went wrong.

Because, well,

I think I'm a

terrible mouse.

[sighs deeply]

[Magpie sighs]

Robin...

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Robin, you're... you're not a mouse.

But of course,

you're a mouse.

[kids] Huh?

- Sorry, is that confusing?
- Yeah, what? She's a bird.

Exactly. She is a bird,
and that's wonderful.

And what I mean is,
we're the Mouse family.

All of us.

[Robin laughs]

- Is the cat one of the family?
- [Dad] No, Dink. The cat tried to eat us.

Because she loves us?

[Dad] No. Because she's a predator.

So, you fly now?

Well, yeah. I guess so.

But we're all still hungry,
and you've ruined Magpie's house.
