This is Animal Town.
It is a peaceful town full of happy animal friends. The townspeople have fun all the time. They play games. They dance. They have a party every day.

This is Singing Dog. He lives in Animal Town. He loves happiness. He loves fun. And he loves to make other people happy. Everyone has fun with Singing Dog. Singing Dog really knows how to be happy!

This is King Viking. He lives in Boom Boom Factory high up on Mount Boom. He does not like happiness. He does not like fun. And he really does not like other people who are happy and fun. Not one bit.

The townspeople run away in fear when they see King Viking. Everyone knows he is mean and horrible. He brings trouble with him everywhere.

Viking grabs Singing Dog and ties him up. Ha! Singing Dog is mine! Now there will be no more songs to dance to, and no more happiness left in Animal Town!

King Viking rushes back to Boom Boom Factory. But he leaves his robots behind. 11 Don’t come back until you’ve made sure no one is having any fun! Boing! Beep! Beep!
12 Oh no! Poor Singing Dog! Poor us! We’re doomed! What will we do? Now we have a Robot Army ruining our town and stopping all of our fun! We only have one option! Quick, Simon, you are the fastest animal in Animal Town. You must run and tell Super Rabbit Boy we need help!
