dangerous in the woods

kindling this time of year but fire

could spread to the whole forest

oh dear and what do we do what do we do

mouth full of water and spray it all

over the fire great idea

bats and then a dragon sneezed and set

fire to a tree

and now they have to fly to the scene

friend is a bat

fighters don't worry sagua we'll find

fun foo

and fat foo and punish them good oh no

because of me

after what they did to you sagua the

magistrate should order them never to

enter the village

and they should be sent to bed without

their suppers

i i wasn't really kidnapped what a bad

seat for supper anyway

you don't want to know i i mean

if there's anyone to be punished it

glyphosate

[Music]

a clay pot exploded all over you did did

a dragon do it

no no dragon and no bats either

so what happened tell me tell us well

there i was in the village watching a

potter turn a pot on his wheel

it went round and round and round and

round and suddenly

blobs of clay flew right at me nowhere

to hide

[Music]

oh

what is the meaning of this your

magistrate

i have important news

what's he going on about

your majesty i have just heard that a

messenger from beijing is on his way

here

with very important news oh my

such fantastic news dear a

representative is coming here

to see us and all the way from beijing

we have to prepare yes uh prepare a

proper banquet for this distinguished

guest

this will be the banquet of the season

we'll be the talk

of all the villagers from miles around

i've assembled you all here for some

very important news

we are expecting a special visitor from

beijing

and i want the palace to be absolutely

stunning and

perfect for this visit and i want you

cook to start preparing an extravagant

banquet

the best this village has ever

[Music]

oh so late so late

time

[Applause]

yes yes this one i think

[Music]

a message from beijing your magistrate

my apologies your magistrate but i must

go

i have many scrolls to deliver today

well i never

[Music]

well what's it say dear

well what does it say

i've just been informed that i will no

longer be village magistrate

what they're taking our i mean your

job away oh dear

[Music]

i have never seen the magistrate so

upset before

he's barely eaten anything this morning

only two bowls of noodles

yes my dear friend taitai is also very

upset at this most

terrible news ah very upsetting news

indeed if the magistrate loses his post

what will happen to all of us

is everybody to leave the palace for

good

[Music]

oh what are we to do how are we going to

live

what will people think i don't think i

can bear the thought of

losing my palace

what is all this about

do you three realize that we're in the

middle of a crisis

i honestly don't know if i will be able

to keep you

three any longer since we'll be

will be no i can't even bring myself to

say it

we'll be like everyone else commoners

i have an idea why don't we still go

ahead with the banquet

hmm not only would a banquet cheer up

the magistrate and tai tai

it would also show them how grateful we

are to have served the family

all these years a most thoughtful idea

but what about the ceremonial fish

surely a fish is too expensive

now hmm

[Music]

i told you should get upset

[Music]

hey watch where you're going fur ball

yeah where's the fire ink face

my name's sogwa not ink face and i'm

going to go catch the biggest fish ever

for tonight's surprise banquet for the

magistrate and thai ty

see you later as if cats can fish

ships what if she does catch the biggest

fish ever

so if she does

maybe just maybe tie tie will decide to

keep those

cats instead of us we're royalty

now are we going to let that cat outdo

us

no way let's go fishing

and catch the biggest fish ever

[Applause]

oh magistrate um uh you cannot go into

the kitchen

and why not uh the scrolls oh

yes the scrolls i left them on your desk

this morning uh

very important scrolls and they need

your immediate attention

i suppose i still have a job to do until

my replacement arrives

[Music]

that was close

i am afraid you have forgotten something

my dear friend

i cannot make my special fried pork

dumplings guacio

without ginger ginger

i'll be right

[Music]

well that back is a big fish

this might be more difficult than i

thought what we need now

is a plan and fast before furball there

gets that

fish if you stop talking and let me

think

[Music]

hey nobody said anything about water

huh i'm not going in the water

oh your magistrate there were no scrolls

on my desk

oh are you sure yes i

am i looked all over the study and do

you know what i found

nothing no scrolls you must keep him

busy a little longer

i'm sure i left them on your desk your

magistrate

let's um look for them together

no water fish or no fish

me too i think i have an idea that

doesn't involve going into the water

trying to catch a fish you all you did

was scare it away

how am i supposed to catch it now who

cares

we're the ones who are gonna catch the

fish anyway

sure doesn't look like it to me why

don't you go chase a mouse

or something and leave the fishing to us

we'll never catch that fish if we don't

stop arguing

if audrey would stop yapping we could

figure this out

all right but only this time

what we need is a better plan than

before

and i'm still not going in the water

hmm i think i've got it

ready okay

[Applause]

now let's get this fish over to the

kitchen

just what we needed the finishing touch

now we have our ceremonial fish

[Music]

i thank all of you

why are we eating in the banquet room

tonight shouldn't we be eating in the

dining room

uh because the dining table is being

uh fixed your magistrate

being fixed we haven't the money to have

things

fixed oh

oh my my dear

dear cook i thank you and everybody my

wonderful friends for this

[Music]

my humble apologies your magistrate for

this untimely

intrusion for i must confess that i have

committed

a most dreadful era it seems i gave you

the wrong scroll this morning

when i realized my error i ran back here

as fast as i could

hmm beijing has declared that

i am doing uh exceedingly well and has

extended my post for yet

another year oh we've got our job back

yes my beautiful lotus flower i

am still the village magistrate

on such a momentous day it would be an

honor if you join us to my dear family

my sincerest thanks gone bay

[Music]
