- [Ernie] Hi everyone it's me, Ernie.
Today I'm going to tell you a story of
"The Trusty Mice, and the Faceless Ghost".
(eerie music)
Once upon a time there was four rats.
And there was a big, chumpy fat rat.
The next one was an old rat, and the seventh-
- [Woman] Third.
- And the three rat was very little.
And the first rat was skinny,
and he was sitting on a bear.
(bear growling)
Each day rats would ride bikes, sing songs,
and swim in the wets.
You know where they lived?
They lived in this squash yard.
- [Woman] What's a squash yard?
- It's a place where you grow apples.
- [Woman] Isn't that an, apple orchard?
- No. (inhaling)
- [Woman] Mmm. So.
- And near them, lived a big volcano.
And in the volcano, were not volcano noises.
And were kind of weird, shrieking,
strange ghostly noises. Like,
Ay-Ekk!
and strack!
One day, on a night of Halloween,
on Winter, in, in, February,
they would go up to the hills to camp.
So,each day the mouse would bring their
orange sleeping bag made from goat's skin.
(goat bleeting)
And each day, the little mouse
would wrap his blanket and go to sleep.
In the morning, they stretch, and
went back to the squash yard.
(loud stretching groan)
Each mouse blinked his eyes and said,
"Before we go home, let's go exploring at that volcano."
- [Woman] And what did the other mice say?
- I think it's dangerous, we should go.
And the fourth mouse said, "I heard of that place,
and in the hill lives a vampire."
(dinging)
His names Count Mouse.
(dinging)
And inside, is a ghost.
(spooky shrilling)
The ghost's name is Buffalor.
He has black hair. He wears lean overalls and slippers.
And if we go in, we'll find him.
- [Woman] Wait I have a question.
Who's more powerful, the mouse guy?
or the ghost? - The ghost.
- [Woman] Are they friends?
- They're friends. But they're evil roommates.
(jovial bassline)
(laughter)
And the mouses went on the way, and they
got to Ghost Hill, they said,
"that was a lot of walking."
The ghost's castle was made from lava,
and rocks, and steel, and metal, and iron.
And on top, was a flag with swords slashed together.
(metal scraping)
And when they knocked on the door,
they saw a gargoyle bell, and they pushed the bell,
and it said, "ringler dong, ringler dong."
And then, before they knew it, a blast of heat,
(exploding)
and smoke, blew through the room.
And when they went inside,
(door creaking),
they saw a spooky piano, it was
playing music by itself.
- [Woman] What song?
- It said, "Haunt the goblin, go away,
the vampire will suck all your blood today."
And then it said,
(imitating growling, hissing)
And were scared of the castle.
(mice fearfully yelling)
When they went inside, they found the throne.
(angelic inspirational music)
The ghost laughed.
(shrill, evil laughing)
And then a bunch of his ghost minion guards
fell down from the ceiling, and a big werewolf
jumped down too.
(mysterious swooshing)
While a zap of lightning, hit the throne.
(crashing)
And it melted.
The ghost said, "What!"
Then, one mouse grabbed a shotgun.
(shotgun clicking)
- [Woman] Where'd the shotgun come from?
- Well, one was a farmer.
(hillbilly music)
And he had a shotgun. - [Woman] Got it.
- When he pointed the shotgun at him,
the ghost laughed, "You want to stop me,
and shoot me today?"
And the ghost pointed his finger at them, he laughed.
The mice, shot his bullet at the ghost.
(gun firing)
But it went right through him. Know why?
Cuz he was a ghost.
The mice grabbed their shotgun, shot a bean.
And then, the bean hit the ghost, and he said,
"No."
And he blew into pieces.
(echoing)
The castle blew, and flames shot from the sky.
A bunch of fireworks.
(fireworks popping)
All the mice from their village said,
"Hurray, hurray, hurray! The mice are now
warriors of this land."
And then, when they looked at the castle,
it turned into a cheese.
And the mice became guardians, saved the World,
and protected even all ghosts.
The End.
Thanks everyone for listening, I hope you liked my story.
See you next time.
Phew, I gotta take a break, from telling stories.
(excited vocalizing)
(laughing)
(yelling)
- What is that?
- A rotten egg!
- Pig's blood!?
- It's coconut.
- [Woman] Ernie, do you love Koji?
- Yeah.
