The Great Tuna Hunt: Part One

Chaplin: “Okay, so now we just have to lure one of the giant cans of tuna this way, and when it trips over the steel cable, Blue will pounce on it and pop it open with her claw. And then we feast!”
Vermin: “HISSS! Yeah, okay, Tucker-cat! Good luck with your foolproof plan! Ha ha ha ha!”
Spicoli: “Dude, I thought the idea was that you would pile up sharp rocks and the can would pop itself open on those.”
Charlee: “Well, it turns out rocks are pretty heavy.”
Lulu: “Aren’t thick steel cables pretty heavy too?”
Mouse: “Shhh.”

Mr. Nibbles: “How will you go about luring a giant can of tuna over?”
Chaplin: “Simple. Spicoli said they hate supermarkets and immediately come to stomp them. So we’ll open a supermarket.”
Vermin: “HISSS! How are you going to open a supermarket? What are you going to use for stock?”
Charlee: “We don’t really have to open a supermarket. We only need to make the cans of tuna think we did.”
Chaplin: “Right, we’ll just put up a sign that says ‘supermarket’ and they’ll come stomp it. I mean, how smart could a can of tuna be?”

Soon …

Chaplin: “Now we just wait for—”

Chaplin: “Well, that worked perfectly, except for the tripping part.”
Charlee: “Let’s try it again, but this time we’ll leave the cable loose and pull it taut when the tuna goes by.”
Lulu: “It seems like there’s got to be an easier way to get Charlee some tuna.”
Mouse: “One would think.”
