Rascal and the foxes flew across quickly to location Lemy had given them and soon, they met up with their lemur friend.

Follow me quietly....and I'll show you where those hunters are" said Lemy, as he put on a helmet and took some weapons from Rascal.

The small band of animals made their way to the edge of a huge rock, and peeking from behind that rock, they saw the army tents.

"See those tanks moving about?" said Lemy.

"They're the most dangerous vehicles around, and it looks like the hunters mean business this time*."

"There's only one thing to do," said Rascal. We'll wait until its dark...and then, we'll blow up all the tanks."

Well, that's exactly what they did.

Can you see Lemy & Rascal sneaking up to those tanks in the picture below? If you can't see the picture there, trying brightening your monitor screen. Now can you see that raccoon and lemur?? No?? Well I guess you're too late...they must have sneaked back to the rocks now.

Where's Rascal?Where's Lemy?

As soon as it was very late in the night, Lemy and Rascal planted dynamite in the tanks that were parked around the camp. Of course, there were no people in the tanks at all.

Soon, Huge explosions were heard. Army men were scrambling** all over the place in confusion....and Lemy stepped forward and spoke to a man in uniform. Lemy didn't know it, but this guy was a general-of-the-army, and he was very angry at what had happened.

"Do you surrender, Mister???" said Lemy confidently.

"Surrender??!!!" asked the general. "Do you realise what you've just done to our army training exercise??"

"Training exercise???!!!" Now, it was Lemy & Rascal's turn to be confused. "You mean....you aren't hunters??"

"What???!!!! Look at this mess - do we look like hunters to you"

The General fumed and fussed, but he was bewildered*** because these animals were able to get through his security defences so easily.

You have spoiled all our training plans....and now, we'll have to return back to homebase because WE'VE LOST ALL OUR TANKS!!!

Lemy and Rascal were very sorry to have messed up the general's training plans but they were also very glad that this wasn't part of some invasion of their home island.

"Gee...," said Lemy "If only you had put up some signboards saying that you were having some secret training exercise here.....then we wouldn't have gone and destroyed everything..."

"ARGGGGHHHHH!!!" **** screamed the general in anger "GET OUT OF MY TRAINING AREA....NOW!! Lemy, Rascal and the foxes scrambled out of the area quickly, got into their space craft and zooooommmmed off, leaving the general down below shaking his fists at them.

(Dear Readers, we're sorry we can't show you any of the graphics of what happened, because it all happened in the dark....and besides, this was a secret training exercise and so we can't show you anything anyway. So sorry!)

AND THAT, IS THE END OF PART 4

Check back with us next time, as we move on to the next Lemy & Rascal story - BIG BUGS!!

Some new words to learn this week:
(*1) "mean business this time" - it means you're being serious about something.

(*2) scrambling - to rush about very quickly but not in an organised way.

(*3) bewildered - to be very, very  confused because you can't understand what's happened.

(*4) "ARGGGGHHHHH!!!"" - this is an expression of anger or frustration - you've probably heard your parents use this expression before.
