(At the Daley Nibbler Mama, Papa, Fievel Mousekewitzes and Tiger had arrived to talk to Nellie Brie and Reed Daley about what had happened.)
Tiger: Here we are, the Daley Nibbler.
Mama Mousekewitz: Thank you, Tiger.
Tiger: Ha, no problem. Good luck talking to Nellie and Reed about helping us find Tanya.
(Soon, Mama, Papa and Fievel were inside looking for Nellie and Reed.)
Fievel Mousekewitz: Hello? Nellie? Are you here?
Papa Mousekewitz: Mr. Daley, where are you?
Nellie Brie: Over here Fievel, Mr. M.
(Nellie Brie was helping Reed Daley with tidying up the loading dock of the Daley Nibbler, Fievel smiled and ran over to her.)
Fievel Mousekewitz: Hi Nellie.
Nellie Brie: Hello Fievel, how do you do?
Reed Daley: Yes indeed kid. What can we help you with.
Fievel Mousekewitz: Well, you see, there was this blockage in the sewers two nights ago, my family and I were helping to clean out the blockage, but the current got too strong and fast that Tanya got swept away into the sewers.
(Fievel said with a worried look on his face, Nellie Brie and Reed Daley's Jaws dropped from what they were told.)
Nellie Brie: So you want us to put in an article about her being missing?
Mama Mousekewitz: Oh, please say you will?
(Reed Daley smiled and was delighted to help.)
Reed Daley: Of Course we will, we'll do everything we can to help you find her.
(The Mousekewitzes we're very pleased and smiled as Reed got to work typing up the head liner for the paper, which was "Tanya Mousekewitz Gone Missing, Must help find.)
Fievel Mousekewitz: Thanks Nellie, Thanks Reed.
Papa Mousekewitz: Yes indeed, thank you.
Nellie Brie: Anytime Mousekewitzes .
Mama Mousekewitz: Here's a photo of her you can use.
(Reed borrowed the photo to put in the paper as a sketch mouse drew the photo onto a blank piece of paper.)
Reed Daley: Thanks, we'll get this into tomorrow morning's papers and send them out right away, and we'll be sure to give this photo back to you as soon as possible.
Papa Mousekewitz: Thanks, come on Fievel, we better go look for Tanya.
Fievel Mousekewitz: Yes, papa.
(Fievel waved goodbye as they headed out. Once outside, Tiger was waiting for Fievel and his parents, when they came out, Tiger ran over.
Tiger: How did it go?
Fievel Mousekewitz: Nellie Brie and Reed Daley said that they'd be happy to help us.
Papa Mousekewitz: They're going to print an article in the newspaper about her to get mice to help us find her.
Tiger: Oh good, that will help us.
Fievel Mousekewitz: Yeah, I just hope that Tanya's okay.
(Fievel said as he and his parents climbed aboard Tiger and set off.)
Tiger: Don't worry Fievel, we'll find her.
(Meanwhile, the carriage arrived at the market on Hester Street.)
Coachman: Whoa there boy. Hester Street. This is Hester Street.
(The carriage stopped, and Tanya Mousekewitz climbed off hoping to find her family here.)
Tanya Mousekewitz: Thanks.
Coachman: Yah! Giddy up!
(The carriage left as Tanya set off into the market, everyone was walking around, doing shopping and chatting to others. A female mouse was selling cheese from the cheese factory.)
Mouse #6: Cheese, get your cheese here!
(A male mouse came over to buy some and handed her a coin.)
Mouse #7: Here you go.
(A gentle mouse was selling farm fresh eggs, laid by a hen.)
Mouse #8: Step right up and buy my farm's fresh eggs, right here.
(A smaller gentle mouse had a fresh apple on his stand along with apple slices in a crate.)
Mouse #3: Get my apple, while it lasts.
(He said as a customer walked up with a coin to buy it. Tanya saw lots of mice, but couldn't find her family anywhere.)
Tanya Mousekewitz: Oh, where are they?
