A blue background with a beige hamster reading a book in the middle appears on screen with a caption that reads "Tumbleweed Presents."

Now a blue book with an animated clip of a city at night and a title that reads "Tumbletown Reads" appears on screen. The animation passes a library and stops at the Tumbletown Gazette.

The book opens and Tumbleweed says TODAY?S TALE:
A BOOK FOR EVERY RODENT.

Now a white guinea pig, a brown guinea pig, Sal, and Tumbleweed appear in Tumbleweed?s living room.

The white guinea pig says OVERALL, I TAUGHT CIRCUS OF
FLEAS WAS AND EXCELLENT BOOK.
A CRAZY, FEEL GOOD ADVENTURE
THAT MADE ME CRY AND THINK.

They all say [Talking at once]

The white guinea pig says OH YEAH.

The white guinea pig says AND HOW ABOUT YOU SAL, WHAT
WAS YOUR IMPRESSION?

Sal says IT WAS GOOD, FLEA JOIN

FLEA MAKES NEW FRIENDS AND LOOK

The white guinea pig says EXCELLENT, TUMBLEWEED IT'S

Tumbleweed says I DON'T LIKE
STORIES ABOUT FLEAS.
[Record scratching]

The brown guinea pig says WHY NOT, IT'S JUST A STORY?

Tumbleweed says I DON'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT IT.

The white guinea pig says OKAY THEN TUMBLEWEED FOR THE
NEXT BOOK CLUB MEETING, WHY

Tumbleweed says HUH..ME?

The white guinea pig says JUST PICK A BOOK THAT YOU

Tumbleweed says OH, OKAY.

LIBRARY.

Sal says HEY TUMBLEWEED YOU LEFT

Tumbleweed says [Mumbling]

Sal says TUMBLEWEED, YOUR

Tumbleweed leaves the house.

Tumbleweed says [Mumbling]

Sal says DON'T FORGET YOUR-...

Now Tumbleweed drives his red car to the library and says OH CIRCUS OF

[Music playing]

Now Tumbleweed appears back on screen in the living room with the other rodents.

Tumbleweed says AGAIN, JUST WHEN
THOUGHT THE THREE EYED ALIEN WAS
GOING TO EAT BODIE, TAD SHOWS UP
WITH A LASSO OF FIRE.

The white guinea pig says THANK YOU VERY MUCH
TUMBLEWEED.

Tumbleweed says AND THEN TAD
SAYS "HOPE YOU LIKE SPICY
WINGS."
CAUSE THE ALIENS HAD WINGS AND
THE LASSO WAS MADE OF FIRE.

Sal says YOU SAID THAT ALREADY.

The brown guinea pig says TUMBLEWEED YOU NEED TO STOP
TALKING NOW.

Tumbleweed says TAD ALWAYS SAY'S
FUNNY CLEVER STUFF WHEN HE'S
FACED WITH DANGER, THEN HE GETS
BUSY!

The white guinea pig says I'M GLAD YOU LIKED YOUR BOOK
FUZZY FACE BUT WILL YOU LET
SOMEONE ELSE HAVE A TURN.

The brown guinea pig says YEAH!

The white guinea pig says IT'S A BOOK CLUB AFTER ALL.

Tumbleweed says BUT I'M ONLY UP

TURN?

The brown guinea pig says MMM HMMM.

Sal says UH, OKAY, CHAPTER THREE

Tumbleweed says AND THEN THEY GO
