I will open the lock and we will escape from here together.

Yumi. I am scared.

Yang. That sounds great!

Yin. Well done, Toy. That’s some good thinking.

Titmouse. Ah, I don’t believe his cock-and-bull stories. I don’t believe them!

Toy. Instead of picking at me, Titmouse, help us! Does the puppy trust you?

Titmouse. He does.

Toy. Let Yumi believe me. Do a good deed. Please.

Titmouse. 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.

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.

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.
