[all screaming]
-[gasps] We're trapped. -Aah!
Um, maybe we should worry about that first.
-[hisses] -[Pandora] Snake!
[screams]
Um, technically, it's an anaconda.
This is no time for a zoology lecture.
[Benjamin] Uh, Aunt Thea?
[screams]
Little help, please?
Benjamin, Pandora, [grunts] grab my legs.
[Benjamin and Pandora grunting]
-[growls] -[all scream]
I wish we were still in New Mouse City. This is the worst vacation ever.

♪ He's the one we call Geronimo ♪
I can't believe we're stuck in New Mouse City.
-This is the worst vacation ever. -Yeah, there's nothing to do.
Come on, there's plenty to do.
Why don't you go to the movies with your friends?
We've already seen everything.
Our friends are away.
-There's nobody to hang out with. -[Thea] I admit, the city's deserted now.
This might give Geronimo a break from his work.
Sorry, I can't do a story on your new fondue hot tub.
I don't have time. Half my staff's on vacation.
[intercom beeping]
[secretary over intercom] Your accountant is holding.
I'm leaving for my vacation now.
[phone rings, then Geronimo groans]
Hello, Jerry. Can I give you a call later? I'm incredibly busy.
-Uh, I see. You're leaving for vacation. -[rings]
[groans] Hold on a second. Hello? Hello?
Mm? Oh. Aah!
A text from Trap? His house is on fire? I have to go. It's an emergency.
[Geronimo gasps]
April fools.
-Well, so much for taking a break. -Trap, it's not April.
[laughs] For the joke-meister, every day's April Fools' Day.
-Why aren't you laughing? -Geronimo, are you all right?
[panting]
No. Too much stress.
You need a break. So do I. I've been so busy.
I'm forgetting my best punchlines. Check it out. Knock, knock.
[sighs]
-Who's there? -Uh, I don't know. See?
Trap's right. Come on, the whole city's on vacation.
You deserve one, too. We all do.
I can't take a vacation. I'm too busy.
Where would we go?
How about Mousta Rica?
Well...
[phones ringing]
Let's do it. Let's take a vacation. Mousta Rica, here we come!
[all] All right!
[man on phone] Hello?
Um, Geronimo? Hello?
Mr. Stilton's on vacation. Sorry.
Ah.
I feel better already.
No scoops to chase down, no annoying calls.
-I can just relax with my e-book. -You're just gonna lie around?
That's not a vacation. Let's check out the rainforest.
-I wanna get shots of the wildlife. -Nope, e-book.
[panting] Uncle G,
I heard people talking about a lost ruin called the Temple of the Dragon's Gasp.
-Let's go look for it. -Forget it. That's lame. But he's not.
Brie Cheeserind, the movie star? I interviewed him once.
You know him? Then you can introduce me.
They say he's staying at this exact hotel. Let's go get his autograph.
-Uncle G, come with me. -No, me.
-The temple. -Brie Cheeserind.
Listen, kids. All I want to do is sit back and--
Cannonball!
Now will you come?
Ah.
What do you say we team up?
You can hunt for your temple, and I can hunt for some great shots.
-Sounds good. -I'm coming, too.
If Brie Cheeserind is here, he's not hanging around the hotel.
-Everyone knows he's totally into nature. -Unlike a certain fuddy-duddy I know.
-Have fun, See you later. -See you, Uncle G.
Hey, G! Check me out!
[laughs] Whoo-hoo!
How awesome was that?
[groans]
[sighs]
[monkey chittering]
This is amazing.
Look. Mangoes, macaws... a monkey.
Snakes, bugs, slime... [sighs] and no Brie Cheeserind.
According to my radar scan, there's some massive structure this way.
It could be the Temple of the Dragon's Gasp.
What's with that name? Don't tell me there's a dragon.
Dragons don't exist, Pandora. Don't worry.
[scoffs] It'd take more than that to-- Aah! Get it off, get it off!
Don't make any sudden moves. We don't wanna startle it.
-Benjamin, see if it's dangerous. -Uh, got it.
It's a pinktoe tarantula, a totally harmless species.
[Pandora gasping]
[Pandora sighs]
Um, I knew that. And I'm not freaking out. I wasn't even scared. [chuckles]
[chuckles] Then you're not gonna freak out about that.
[screams]
-What are you doing, coz? -Reading the label of this water bottle,
since I no longer have an e-book, or magazine,
-thank you very much. -Ah, you're welcome.
Hey, why don't you check out the unlimited buffet? It's major.
[munching noisily]
Um, if I were you, I'd take smaller bites.
How come?
Because Mousta Rican cuisine is the spiciest in the world.
[gasps]
[shrieking]
[sighs]
[beeping]
Something's coming.
-A rare animal? -Brie Cheeserind?
[all gasp]
[growling]
Uh, just out of curiosity, if fire-breathing dragons did exist,
what do you think their breath would look like?
-Like that? -Yeah, but dragons don't exist.
[growling]
We could stand around and discuss it or we could...
-[growling] -[all] Run!
[growling]
Aah!
[grunting]
[rustling]
[beeping]
[screaming]
Benjamin, Pandora, grab my legs.
[Benjamin and Pandora scream]
I wish we were still in New Mouse City. This is the worst vacation ever!
[gasps] Everybody, jump!
[Pandora sighs]
Um, does anybody else feel like we're being watched?
I'm stuffed fuller than a Christmas turkey.
What I need is a nap.
[sighs]
[yawns]
A nap sounds like an excellent idea.
[Trap snoring and mumbling]
Ah. It would be more relaxing in the rainforest.
No, sir. It isn't safe. There's a fire-breathing dragon.
There are no such things as... dragons?
Hm. Wake up. We're going into the rainforest.
[coughing]
Thanks a lot, coz. I was in the middle of the best dream.
I was in this room made of peanut butter cupcake and there was no door.
I had to eat my way out.
[grunts] Don't worry. We'll be out of this jungle in a minute.
[grunting]
Oh. I think I see a building up ahead.
I hope it's the hotel. I can't wait to cool off in the pool.
Ah. I hope it's a restaurant. I'm getting hungry.
Huh. I wonder what this is. My Ben Pad, it's gone.
[rustling]
-Ha! I told you somebody was watching us. -You were right. Congratulations.
[whimpers]
[Pandora screams]
[grunts]
[yells, then grunts]
[gasps, then sighs]
Aah!
[whimpering]
-Yikes. This place gives me goosebumps. -Relax, coz, and look around.
This place is awesome. [sniffs] Ah! And it smells so good.
I could stay here forever.
[thunder crashes]
I'm done. Let's get out of here.
I'm going to call Benjamin and find out where they are.
Great. We'll meet them back at the hotel. I'm starving.
We can't leave until we find out where that smoke is coming from.
I have a hunch there's a story out here.
-Ah. He's close by. -[Ben Pad chiming]
I wonder why he's not answering.
Benjamin! Thea!
[Ben Pad chiming]
There's the Ben Pad, but no Ben. Something must have happened.
[growling]
Trap, stop joking around. This is serious.
[whimpering] That wasn't me.
-Aah! [stuttering] The dragon! -Oh, my Gouda!
[growling]
[both screaming]
[both whimpering]
[cracking]
There's no escape!
Aah! We're done for!
[yelling]
Ow!
-Trap? -Huh?
[grunting]
[rumbling]
-What do we do? -What choice do we have?
Look!
[Trap] Wow!
[Geronimo] Benjamin was right. The Temple of the Dragon's Gasp does exist.
Uh, yeah. Did Benjamin say anything about scary tribesmen?
No, why?
[both gulp]
[tribesmen chattering indistinctly]
[Trap whimpers]
It's been nice knowing you. If you make it out of here,
I want you to have my snorkel and my lucky ping pong paddle.
-Uh, thanks, Trap. That means a lot. -That's it?
What are you gonna give me if I make it and you don't?
I don't know, Trap. What do you want?
-Benjamin! -Cool, you found my Ben Pad.
Nice to see you, too.
Check it out. Coconut bark and palm leaf mâché.
-You're all right. -Thanks to the Jivamice.
They saved us from being crushed by falling trees.
The dragon chased you, too?
Trap, as cool as a dragon like that would be,
the truth is much scarier.
Hm?
[monkey chittering]
[growling]
-This is why the Jivamice are worried. -Destroying the rainforest is bad enough,
but if all the trees are cut down, their secret temple will be discovered.
The tribe has lived here for thousands of years and no one bothered them.
It'll mean the end of their civilization.
-I'll have a little talk with those guys. -Thea, no.
[Thea grunts]
What they're doing is illegal. They're thugs. It could be dangerous.
I don't care. We've got to stop them.
[gasps] Brie Cheeserind?
[sighs] He acts like he cares about the environment,
then he goes out and destroys it. What a jerk.
-Let's follow them. -We should contact the authorities.
I think we should stay here, until it's safe to go back to--
Huh?
[whimpering]
You guys, wait for me.
Cardboard? For what?
[man] Come on, we're behind schedule.
I've got millions of bags of Crunchrat snacks sitting around waiting for boxes.
Ah! Chippy P. Crunchrat!
Just when I think that scoundrel can't be any more evil, he sinks to a new low.
He's destroying the forest and turning it into boxes.
I don't get it. If Crunchrat's behind all this, then what about--?
Brie Cheeserind.
Sorry you had to get involved in this, Cheeserind,
but there's no way I'm letting some second-rate movie star stop me.
[grunts] Is it worth it, Crunchrat?
All this so you can get free boxes to ship your food?
-In a word, yes. -You won't get away with this, Crunchrat.
As soon as I get out of here, you're going down.
Ooh! I knew he was good guy.
-[Cheeserind grunting] -[Crunchrat chuckling]
You know, I can use somebody like you. How'd you like to star
in some Crunchrat snacks TV commercials for free?
Gah! You have cheese for brains, Crunchrat.
I think you'll reconsider after you spend a little time alone in the jungle.
Take him away.
[both laughing]
We've gotta protect the Jivamice and save the rainforest.
And Brie Cheeserind.
[Geronimo] Hm.
Back to the temple, everyone. I have an idea.
So, Mr. Tough-Mouse, change your mind yet?
-[grunts] No way. -Let's see what you'll say
after you've spent the night out here.
[growling]
What's that?
[growling]
Uh, maybe it's the subway.
There's no subway here, pinhead. We're in the jungle.
It's probably nothing. I thought maybe there was something
to that crazy dragon legend.
[growling]
The dragon!
I'm out of here! Free cardboard's not worth it!
[Crunchrat whimpering]
[all yelling]
[whimpering]
[growling]
It worked! That was amazing.
I'll tell you what was amazing. Building that mask in two hours.
Those tribesmen deserve an A in art.
-Crunchrat got away. Again. -True, but he won't go unpunished.
When people hear about what he was doing, his chip sales are going to sink fast.
But we can't tell anybody about it. No one can know about the tribe or their temple.
Leave that to me.
Huh. Not as tough as he is in his movies.
He's pretending to be passed out. It's called acting.
Um, right, Mr. Cheeserind?
Hello. Whoo-hoo. Wake up, Brie. It's okay, you're safe.
[muttering]
Huh?
-How about a picture? -Say cheese.
[camera shutter clicks]
Chippy P. Crunchrat's shameful scheme has come to an end.
The poached wood has been seized by local authorities
who will use it to build a new school.
One of the heroes of this mission would like to say a few words.
Here's Brie Cheeserind.
Thank you. I'd like to let everyone know
what a beautiful, unspoiled place Mousta Rica is.
If you come to the rainforest, treat it well.
And what about the rumors of an ancient secret temple?
Ah, it's all a myth. I've been through every inch of this rainforest,
-and I can tell you it does not exist. -There you have it.
Reporting from Mousta Rica, this is Geronimo Stilton.
That's a wrap.
[sighs] Let's get back to the hotel.
We've still got a few days of vacation left.
Brie gave me the script for his next movie.
I can't wait to sit by the pool and read it.
Yeah, the Jivamice taught me a new dive.
I wanna try it out at the pool.
[gasps] I think I'm going to read in my room.
[all laughing]
