01x24 - A Better Mousetrap

[bunniefuu]

[Music]

Once Upon an orphanage my life was a

near tragic State

I longed to find a brighter place

somewhere full of love and grace I dream

of fields with a cool Ocean Breeze a

home for my own family

when I got my wish I pinched myself to

make sure this home was real

they said for a boy but then I was a

girl my dreaming had just let me down

again if I came as a queen this long

ebony hair then maybe they'd feel I was

worth it for them I'm a good worker in

spite of My Talking I belong to belong

here for all of my life don't send me

away without seeing what I see

everything I touch is full of delights

I'll do my best to not let you down I

can imagine world full of joy just give

me your hand and I'll teach you to hope

you'll find that I have something

worthwhile just let me stay here

forever I promise a life full of smiles

[Music]

don't let it get away I refuse I

actually refused to share my lunch with

a mouse there's the interloper the what

the mouse after it

we don't have to hurt the poor little

thing

foreign

[Music]

assistant

[Music]

I touched the mouse I touched a mouse

that's the idea silly Diana oh you let

it get away over here

[Music]

never get it now I assume we have a

reasonable explanation for this little

gathering

[Music]

more than one they're all over we're

besieged the whole town is besieged

they're taking over it's a veritable

Invasion oh don't be so melodramatic

this mess who's responsible for this the

Invaders oh for goodness sakes not more

of them that's it I have had enough

the mice must go This Is w*r

best mouse traps made one snap and the

mouse dies instantly

[Music]

those mouse traps are cruel there must

be a way to trap mice without k*lling

them it's this is the dress I want

six of your best mouse traps Mr Lawson

please miss King

yes and please don't use Mr Lawson's

traps they're so cruel if I were a mouse

I would consider the most undignified

way to end my life if you were a mouse

and Shirley we wouldn't need a mouse

trap to catch you we just follow the

sound of your incessant squeaking let's

school is a place to learn about nature

not to destroy it mice are Vermin it's

extremely unhealthy to have them in the

school no matter how Charming you think

they are Miss King has a point Anne mice

cause a lot of damage everyone in

heavenly's been buying traps

that's one only a few moments ago you

more trap

[Music]

s gnawing on my Fabrics

you little pest type

wait until next time Wherever You Are

[Music]

thank you

I can't remember the mice ever this bad

Marilla not in heavenly

I still think traps are most cruel Mrs

Lind don't let Matthew hear you say that

mice have eaten so much of the feet in

the barn he's beside himself and it's

getting worse I can tell you

I see them every day hordes of them

streaming towards Avonlea like like an

invasion exactly may I have a look

I don't know what the town is going to

do Matthew is going to a town meeting

maybe they can find a solution

[Applause]

so far I have been spared this invasion

not a single Mouse has dared to show its

face around my premises

of course I do keep my house spotless

unlike many others I could mention

[Music]

thank you

and stay out

[Music]

I don't know why you bother your hair is

such a lost cause all my causes are lost

I keep telling people those traps are

cruel but nobody ever listens to me

of course not why should they listen to

someone who is inordinately sentimental

about rodents oh do be a friend we

should respect all living creatures I

wonder if mice respect people it must be

an enormous hardship to respect those

that wish you ill

mice cause damage try thinking like a

farmer for a change and

don't you dare boo

you won't think they're so Charming when

dozens of them are in your food and in

your bed and making nests in your shoes

but why not trap them alive and take

them into the woods and let them go

silly goose wants to stop them from

coming back I don't know well that's

something you had better think about

24 2 23 24.

are you saying we should trap them and

then let them go yes what's the point

they'll just come back aha not if we

take them to Tigers Island nobody lives

there and mice can't swim it would make

such a romantic home for them

could work I suppose what happens to the

mice is not my concern getting rid of

them is

look at this a valuable book destroyed

we could put traps down but we don't

have any traps thank goodness due to the

shortage of traps in Ivonne Lee this

coming week's assignment will be to

build a better mouse trap

you will work in pairs in addition to

teamwork you will be marked on your

mouse trap's originality sturdiness and

effectiveness

let these three ideals be your guide you

will bring your trap to school on Monday

you may begin now

oh Diana I feel an enormous burden of

responsibility has fallen on our

shoulders we have an opportunity to put

an end to the terrifying snap of the

Hideous devices currently luring

innocent mice to their Doom we must

pledge our sacred honor that above all

our mousetrap cannot be cruel and it

must trap more than one Mouse at a time

oh Diana that's ever so perfect I'll get

paper

[Music]

Nature has created

and would you be my partner I'm afraid

I've already chosen Diana you

use Diana you should try somebody else I

want to build the best mouse trap Felix

I need someone with excellent marks an

inquisitive mind and the wisdom of age

now is that you or Diana

Diana exactly

you're standing here for a reason Felix

I don't have a partner Miss King oh well

a very well follow me

oh no Felix is an old man out so I am

placing him with your team

so where do we start

I agree that more bait will attract more

mice

the Trap know when to close a Time

mechanism we could set the trap to close

after five minutes that won't work the

mice could go in eat the bait and leave

in four minutes

time mechanism is possibly not the best

solution

[Music]

look over there the mice are leaving the

Lakeshore please Felix we're trying to

do our work but we should investigate it

might help us figure out why the mice

are moving into Avon Lee I've seen

enough mice thank you

but we might discover Felix we must

remain aloof and close our hearts to the

sad faces and helpless pleas of those we

intend to imprison it's tomorrow's

Saturday let's meet at the school to

build our trap

I'll try to come up with some ideas

tonight

[Music]

I'll post to work as a team why won't

they listen to me

painted it's a trap and not a work of

art

spider's web is a trap and it's very

artistic I'm sure that a mouse will find

imprisonment much more comforting

surrounded by Beauty let's just test it

first hey where were you I've been

waiting at school for hours we needed

tool so we came here instead that's not

what Miss King means by teamwork well

you're just in time to see the first

test of our marvelous invention that's

it how does it work

the bait goes in there the mice run up

go inside and eat the bait when four or

five mice are inside their combined way

drops the floor down to the bottom this

pulls the roof down below the entrance

and voila the mice are trapped except

the way you built it it's original

sturdy and efficient sure to get top

marks

watch and Marvel

[Music]

yes it worked we did it what a team

hooray

see what I was trying to tell you what

oh it's ruined that's it tomorrow we

build another mouse trap I don't care if

it's cruel or not as long as it works

no

[Music]

solved all your problems yet no and I'm

not coming in till I do I'll tell

Marilla there'll be one less for supper

no one listens to me about not k*lling

mice even Diana is more concerned about

getting a trap that works than a trap

that is kind well Felix cares about is

finding out why the mice left the lake

in the first place well if the mice are

invading avonlee there must be a reason

the Boy Might Have a good point

Felix a good point

now and you complain the people aren't

listening to you but it doesn't sound

like you're doing a lot of listening

either

[Music]

why are they leaving the river

I wish they could just tell me why

should they

because Felix thinks it'll help us build

a better mouse trap did you listen to

him no so why would you listen to a

mouse I'm sure you're a very sensible

Mouse

certainly am what would you like to know

investigate the Lakeshore or not will

that help you build a better mouse trap

we won't know until we go there it's

worth a try

[Music]

and Diana I've designed part of a mouse

trap but I need help see it's all here

we haven't time to look at your trap

today we have important things to do

that's not fair you never listen to me

I'm supposed to be part of this team but

you always do what you want today Diana

and I are going to the lake to

investigate why the mice are leaving

their homes

go ahead do what you wanted huh what did

you say the lake

that's my idea

we know and if we don't find anything

we're gonna throw you in my idea

my idea hey wait for me

just like the pioneers

forging their way through Uncharted

forests and we had a picnic here last

year Felix you have not an ounce of

romance in your soul

it's a terrible character flaw

you should work at correcting it before

you become impossibly ordinary

still don't see anything that explains

why the mice are leaving

maybe we should go back we still need to

make a trap for school tomorrow

[Music]

my shoes are ruined the ground shouldn't

be money here it's like a swamp could

you two help me up

[Music]

my mother is going to be furious

let's go up there

I realized my ruined shoes may not be

important to you

but you could at least show some look

the whole area is flooded we did have

more rain this spring than usual mice

over there

their homes are flooded that's why

they're leaving

Felix you were right

I'm sorry I didn't listen to you earlier

yes

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

what we have here is a mixture of

molasses and tar

the smell of the Molasses attracts the

mice but when they step on the paper

they become truly stuck our trap is

simple and cost efficient

excellent work Felicity we will place

your trap in the corner it seems that

mice aren't the only pests that like the

smell of molasses

I'm afraid that your trap will attract

too many flies to be of any use you

never thought about flies

neither do you Gilbert and Edward

to your trap please after

after search we determined that there

was no better mouse trap than the one

Nature has created

a cat not just any cat this is the best

monster in the county I declare that our

most problems are over

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

uh Miss King may I have permission to go

to the creek and wash the Molasses off

[Music]

and Gilbert please don't bring that cat

back to school

and Diana Felix could we see your trap

please

our project is too big to bring to class

we have made a scale model

we intend to divert enough water to

bring the lake back to normal just a

moment this is not a mouse trap once

again you haven't done the assigned work

you've LED your team astray

but it was Felix's idea I should never

have placed you three together

I ask for a mouse trap and I get this

instead we is the best mouse trap of all

please listen to him Miss King

the question to ask is not how to get

rid of the mice but rather why the mice

are an avidly in the first place we

discovered that the flooded Lake was

destroying their homes so the best

solution is to stop the flooding so the

mice can go back then we won't need

mouse traps at all will it work Matthew

thinks so he's going to show it to the

Town Council and encourage them to build

one on a grand scale well I must say

Felix that you have led your team to an

inspired solution

all three of you have earned the top

score

[Music]

[Applause]

hmm

Legend has it that a Pied Piper of

Hamlin was needed to rid the town of its

rats Heavenly is lucky to have three

such Pipers whose water diverting idea

has relieved our mouse problem

considerably

[Applause]

to commemorate this moment of

achievement the Town Council would like

to present a plaque to answer Lee Diana

Barry and Felix King

[Applause]

now well we had a lot of mice we only

have one plaque

and so you'll have to take turns hanging

it on your wall

plaque rightfully belongs to Felix

idea and

[Music]

I just helped him out a little

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]
