CHAPTER I
The store
Start by speaking to Marty. He is the young mouse working on packages. Marty will ask for an elastic band : there is one under the big yellow
duck, at the left side of the store. While grabbing the elastic, Mia gets hurled in the air. Move your cursor to the right of the panorama
to find her, then click on her to get her back on her feet. Now go give the elastic band to Marty. Marty asks you to speak to Maurice, his dad,
who is behind the counter. When you find Maurice, he asks you for the Bugaboos' order in exchange for the copper wire you need. The order
is stuck in the strange machine full of candy next to him. Click on this machine to play the “Letter arcade” activity (see description on page
XYZ of this manual). Completing the activity gives you the Bugaboos' order. Go see Maurice again and ask him for the copper wire. Y
ou can now leave the store using the little door on the right (the one you came in from).
The hallway
Start by getting the battery that is on Marty's list. It can be found near the slippers, on the right-hand side of the hallway.
After you have picked it up, go to the kitchen, at the left side of the hallway.
The kitchen
The kitchen is a good place to find the last item on Marty's list : steel wool. Go see Pompon and Nopompon: the two rats are under the stove.
They have the steel wool you are looking for and they are willing to let Mia have it if you beat Nopompon at his own kind of Tic Tac Toe game.
Click on the metal Tic Tac Toe grid to play the “Tic Tac Toe” activity (see description on page XYZ of this manual). When you have the steel
wool you can leave the kitchen using the door on the right (the one you came in from).
