There was once a fat eagle named Franklin. Franklin was running away from a giant mouse who was trying to eat him. They were in a junkyard filled with gold. One of the eagles from Franklin’s group gets lost in the mouse’s mouth. Fortunately, the mouse burped, and the eagle flew out. Franklin goes back to save his friend while the rest of the group flies away. Franklin distracts the mouse by dancing the Irish jig, so his friend can get away. The mouse does the jig too! But then they start fighting again about who dances the best. The smallest eagle says “You’re both great dancers!
