This is Ratty. He is the worst rat in the world. He’s with his
friends, Cheese and Miss Whiskers. They are planning to rob
the Bank of Britain.
‘OK, rats, we’re at the bank. Let’s go!’
It’s the end of the day. The cashier is counting the money.
‘Freeze! Nobody move!’
‘OK, rats. Let’s see what’s in the safe!’
‘Perhaps we’ll find some cheese!’
‘There’s no cheese. But there’s lots of money! You get the notes – and I’ll get the coins!’
‘OK, rats. Let’s go!’
‘Run!’
The chief of police is at the bank. He knows there is only one person who can help.
‘Hello, Spycat?’
Spycat has arrived. First, he points his magic pen at the cashier.
‘I can move again!’
Next, Spycat looks for clues. He finds a piece of cheese inside the safe. ‘Who eats
cheese in a bank?’
Finally, Spycat finds a banknote. ‘Now I know who robbed this bank!’
‘One hundred, two hundred, three hun… Oh no, it’s Spycat!’
‘The fun stops here, rats. You’re under arrest!’
