25-ALL IS FORGIVEN!

ALL Is FORGIVEN! Fortunately, I didn't have to worry about the phone books. Now everyone just wanted to hear about our adventure. We told our tale on the WRAT radio program. We even appeared on Ben Squeaker's TV talk show. We had become the island's national heroes! Not only because we had beaten the pirate cats and sent them to Ho-hum Island, but also because of that famouse silver quarter. It had been stolen by the pirates at the time of the Great Cat War!

As for the pirate ship, we finally agreed to give it to the city. The mayor ended up turning it into a mouseum dedicated to the history of rodents. Now that we were famouse, my little mix-up with the YELLOW PAGES was forgiven. Once in a while, a rodent would call the office to place an order for some Furry Tails toilet paper. But I didn't mind. I was too busy working on my own paper. The paper in my notebook, that is. I buried myself behind

my desk and began writing my book. I wrote about our crazy balloon ride. I wrote about our capture by the Black Bandit. I wrote about our daring escape. I even wrote about chef slobbertooth and the snails! The book was ready in less than a month. I had already chosen the title: ATTACK OF THE BANDIT CATS. I had a bestseller in the making. I could smell it! It was as strong as my great-grandma Scamper's garlic cheese rolls!
