Hello, old house! How about this weather, huh?

Ah, you're such a pain in the neck!

What did you say?

Ah, come on!

Hi, Mr. Holm!

Last day before summer vacation!

Hm, yeah, looks like my lighter's gone on vacation, too.

It won't work!

Oh.

Actually, that reminds me of the time

I was lost in the forest in the middle of the night!

Bye, see you later!

Huh?

And if it weren't for this old lighter here,

well, I could guarantee...

You'll have to tell me your story later, Holm!

Huh? Oh, yeah, all right.

No problem, Topper.

Oof!

Huh?

Ah!

What's all this, dear?

Mom, remember to send my new letter to Dad!

Oh, yeah.

That's right, Topper.

Imagine if he comes home while I'm on summer break!

And if not...

maybe he'll make it home for Christmas, huh?

Have a great day.

But... yeah.

Ah, Miss Flora?

Flora!

Huh?

Heh, heh!

Huh?

Oh, Mr. Holm!

My word, I think it's starting to rain!

It's your flowers.

They're very nice this year.

Are there lice on the deer?

No, I just said--

Why don't you come down and have a cup of coffee?

You can delouse that deer another day.

Uh, yeah, I...

Okay!

Hi!

Okay, Viggo, your school chariot awaits.

Are you sure it can take my weight?

My dad would not think it's a good idea.

Oh, come on!

Ugh!

Viggo!

What did I say about hopping out of windows?

That I shouldn't do it?

So, what did you just do that was wrong?

I used the window, when I should have used the door.

Exactly!

Ha, ha!

What's with the ugly pram?

Get that junk out of here.

It'll scare the cafe customers away.

Uh, what cafe customers?

Hey, drive carefully!

Viggo?

Ugh, that boy.

Hmm, that's better.

Isn't this just wow, Viggo?

Yeah, totally!

Uh, or what is wow, Topper?

Summer vacation starts today,

so we can go look for all kinds of stuff!

That's what's wow!

Maybe, but my dad says it's a waste of time

to spend the whole vacation doing that.

Oh, yeah?

Hi, Sille!

Hi, Topper!

Topper!

No, no, not now, Viggo.

Topper!

Happy birthday, Sille.

How did you know it was my birthday today?

Isn't it the same day it was last year?

Of course it is, Topper,

and I'm still one year older than you, little boy!

But uh, want to come to my birthday party?

Wha-- uh, um... yeah, I do!

You can come, if you bring me a really nice birthday gift.

Uh, uh, a gift?

Um, yeah, yeah, I...

I have a really good gift for you, Sille,

just here.

Check out Zipper! Nice, huh?

Hmm, what Tipper?

Ch, no! Ah!

Oh, no.

Topper, you're nuts!

Ahh!

You know what a really good gift is, Topper?

No.

It's like the puppy I'm pretty sure my parents are giving me.

Uh, okay, bye!

Hey!

I didn't say you could definitely come

to my birthday, Topper!

What the--

What is an ugly baby carriage with a stupid boy inside it

doing in my garden?

Uh, we were just...

This isn't a playground, boy!

I know, and I'd really like to leave!

Well, we can fix that in a jiffy, my fine little friend.

Ow! Sorry!

Out you go!

Do you know that guy?

No.

Then, why did he call you his fine little friend?

From now on, you sit in Zipper and I'll do the pushing.

Ugh!

Okay, Viggo, that's a deal.

My dad says you shouldn't wave to stupid girls

when you're holding onto a pram that someone else is sitting in.

Yeah, but it was Sille!

We have to find a really good gift for her.

Why is that?

So I can go to her birthday party.

Blech!

What are you doing?

I'm whistling, my fine little friend.

♪ Summer holiday ♪

♪ Now let's get out and play ♪

♪ Ooh ooh ♪

♪ Leave the books behind and see what we can find ♪

♪ Yeah ♪

♪ Tiny little traces ♪

♪ Lead to secret places ♪

♪ Take a good look around ♪

♪ And cool stuff will be found ♪

♪ So I'm whistling, my fine friend ♪

Oh!

♪ I'm whistling, my fine friend ♪

♪ I'm whistling, my fine friend ♪

♪ I'm whistling, my fine friend ♪

♪ Give a little whistle 'cause summertime is here again ♪

I'm going with my mom and dad and little sister

to a city called Venice,

where there's lots of water

and we're going to ride the granolas all summer long!

That's wonderful, Albert.

What are your plans for summer vacation, Bea?

Me and my whole family

are going to the world's biggest swimming pool,

and there's prizes for the one who gets the best suntan!

I see, and Jacob?

My dad got a new car,

so we're driving down south, and up north too!

And we're going to go really fast!

We're going to our grandfather's--

Grandfather's farm!

To ride horses-- Horses!

And pick strawberries-- Pick strawberries!

And play with the itsy bitsy cutie pie little lambs!

Baby lambs!

Yes, uh, baby lambs.

Very good, and what about you, Topper?

Topper?

_ Yeah, yeah, Just a sec, coming!

Topper, what are you doing with the film projector?

My dad has been to Africa 37 times!

'Cause when you sail all around the world,

you bump into Africa every now and then.

Oh, how exciting!

You're going to Africa with your dad.

One time, my dad bumped into Africa so hard

that his teeth flew out of his mouth!

And tell me, does he wear dentures?

All real sailors do.

What are dentures?

Well, you see,

dentures are teeth you can take out of your mouth.

Oh.

It was horrible for my dad.

He was so mad, he got gold fever!

TPPer's lying!

My dad says you can't get gold fever from being mad.

Really? That's what your dad says?

My dad says so, too,

and he says Topper's totally misunderstood the exercise.

No, I haven't!

Well, Topper, are you going to Africa for the summer vacation?

Mm, no.

But we're talking about our plans for the summer!

Uh, yeah, but then I found this African movie,

and I thought it would be perfect

for talking about my dad!

But--

Who's fine now. He's got a lady in every harbor.

Um, well, but Topper,

can't you talk about your plans for the summer?

He might be coming home, and then we might be going--

My dad says Topper doesn't even have a father!

I do, too!

I write letters to my dad all the time!

You can't write letters to someone who doesn't exist!

Man, Toppe_l' never stops lyll19!

Look, it's a lizard!

It's a rhinoceros.

Look, it's being attacked by a monster!

Ahh! Ch!

Well, I guess it's time for summer vacation.

It's just a ladybug.

Hmm.

Hang on.

Viggo, stop!

Huh?

Check it out! What a cool gear wheel!

Oh, yeah.

But I can't look around for stuff today, Topper.

But we just got our summer break!

I have to go home and help my dad.

But you have to help me find a birthday gift for Sille!

That doesn't mean anything to my dad.

You're lucky. You don't have a father.

But... I do have a father!

Hi, there!

Want to help me look around for stuff?

Heh.

What's that?

U9h,ugh!

Oh, heh!

Heh...

"Sille... plus...

...Topper."

Yay!

Huh?

Oh, ugh!

Hi, Topper!

Uh, Sille!

What are you writing there?

It, uh, it, um, uh, it's nothing special, Sille.

Just a couple letters.

Can I see, Topper?

Um, uh, did you get that puppy yet?

I got some stupid dress.

Oh, Okay, right!

So, can I have a look?

No!

Not really.

I think you wrote something naughty under there.

Uh-uh!

So, why are you blushing, Topper?

I-- I am?

I want to see what you've written!

My handwriting isn't that good.

It's really kind of ugly.

Oh, go on!

It's really kind of hideous!

Just let me see!

Oh!

Huh?

Topper, you're nuts!

Yeah, I know that.

I just thought it looked good.

Huh?

Oh!

Huh?

But...

Mmm...

What?

Ha! Wow!

You're the strangest pencil I've ever seen!

Ha, Viggo has to see this!

Viggo, Viggo!

Ah!

Viggo, you have to see what I found!

My mom is going to kill me.

Dad, isn't it true all pencils are the same?

About this totally outrageous super pencil!

Yeah, but she's going to find out about the paint on my pants.

Well, we'll just paint your pants red all over.

There's enough of it!

That's 'cause we're painting the cafe.

Man, you're always pain--

Yup, and red is a warm, cordial colour.

It's a colour that will attract customers into the cafe.

Viggo, get to it!

And Viggo's pants are red now, too.

Argh!

Good job, son! Paint everything red.

Viggo, this pencil isn't just an ordinary pencil.

All pencils are the same!

That's what my dad says.

He always says all pencils are equally ordinary.

Well, he's wrong.

Dad, isn't it true all pencils are the same?

That's true, son.

All pencils are equally ordinary.

Viggo, everything you write with this pencil disappears,

just like that! Poof!

Yeah, with a little help from an eraser.

No chance, red pants!

Without an eraser, or anything else!

I have to tell my dad.

No, no, it's our secret!

No one but you and me can know about it, okay?

I don't have time to play, Topper.

Come on!

It's gonna look great, Otto.

Yeah, isn't it?

Ahh!

Just wait till you see, Viggo!

Ah, ugh!

Well, hello, fellas!

Hi, Holm.

Imagine, my lighter almost worked just a minute ago!

OkaY

Yeah, it sparked!

But you can hear all about it some other time, huh, boys?

Hmm.

Check this out, Viggo!

On the wallpaper?

Your mom will have a fit, Topper!

Have you ever seen my mom get angry, Viggo, huh?

No, now that you mention it.

And besides, it's just going to disappear.

I hope so for your sake.

I could draw my dad!

But, hmm, that's too hard.

Because you don't know what he looks like?

Of course I know!

Don't you know what your dad looks like?

Yeah, but--

I'm just not good at drawing people.

But-- but a rhinoceros!

We'll draw a giant rhinoceros, right here!

Uh...

Viggo, tell me, what's it like to be bawled out?

You've never been bawled out?

I don't think so.

Man, you're lucky!

Do you think so?

Yeah.

Oh.

Whoa, that's really good, Topper!

Now we go in the kitchen and drink four or five sodas,

and when we come back,

you'll see a whole lot of nothing, Viggo.

Are you hungry?

Yeah, but I don't feel like cake.

Sandwiches, Viggo!

Don't be scared, Viggo.

Who says I'm scared?

Whenever you're scared, you get sleepy!

Huh, how did you know that?

I just do.

Listen!

What-- what's that?

Go and see what it is.

Nah, let's forget about it.

It could be something dangerous.

I'm not-- I'm not too into dangerous things.

It isn't dangerous. It's fun!

Go on.

Topper, it-- it's still there!

Really?

Then we just wait.

But Topper, there's something else!

Well, what?

It-- it blinked!

With its eye!

It blinked with its eye?

Mm-hmm.

This I have to see.

Viggo!

What did I tell you?

It's gone now!

Huh?

It is kind of a shame that cool rhinoceros is gone already.

Well, I think it's creepy!

Let's draw another one.

No, Topper! I don't want to!

We could draw an even bigger one!

I don't think I have time to play any more.

Come on, Viggo!

We have to find out where it goes to.

I'll do the drawing, and you--

Huh!

Whoa.

Oh!

Vi-- Vi-- Vi-- Vi--

Viggo!

Hey, look!

Ahhhh!

Viggo, my drawing's come to life!

Oh, hi, rhinoceros.

Oh, he must be really hungry!

Viggo, go get him some bread!

Wow!

He's so beautiful.

I don't think so.

He just gives me the creeps.

Viggo!

Hey, he's eating it!

Get some more, Viggo!

And a bottle of soda.

Viggo, do you want our rhinoceros to starve?

Uh, no, no, I don't.

Ahh!

I think I need to help my dad.

Whoa, this guy can really pack it in!

What should we call him?

Does he... need a name?

Sure! It's your call!

Uh...

What's your dad's name? His first name?

His name is...

Otto.

Otto!

We're going to call you Otto!

How do you like that?

Get more bread, Viggo!

Hurry!

There isn't any more!

There isn't any more of anything!

Okay, um, I'll get money from my mom

to buy him 10 loaves of bread.

Can't I go?

I don't really feel like, uh,

like staying here alone with Otto.

Okay, but hurry, before he eats all the furniture.

Okay!

When my dad hears about this,

he's gonna be ecstatic!

And Sille,

she won't think I'm nuts any more.

Oh, Otto!

And summer vacation has only just started!

Watch it!

There you are, two mackerel.

Anything else?

No thanks.

Ahhh!

Oh!Ugh!

Sorry.

What now?

You Okay?

Goodness! Kids are certainly busy these days!

When I was a child, things were a lot less chaotic!

It's just that I need money for 10 loaves of bread.

Wow, the two of you must be starving, huh?

It isn't even for us. It's for Otto.

Oh! Is Otto a new friend of yours?

Otto isn't even in our class!

Oh? Who is he, then?

I shouldn't--

I shouldn't really say.

When an adult asks you a question, you answer!

Otto's a r...

Spit it out!

Otto's a rhino!

Oh, I see.

Well then, 10 loaves of bread isn't much.

Ugh, a rhinoceros.

Good heavens, kids today do like to lie!

Good heavens, indeed,

and some people can be so grumpy nowadays.

There yOll 9°!

Oh!

And don't spend it all on candy or junk food, all right?

It is for bread, honest!

Right, tell me another one, Viggo!

And tell Topper he can tell me all about it later!

Viggo will be right back with lots of bread!

Hi, Sille!

Hi, Topper!

Come on up and have a look at Otto!

Who's Otto?

Otto's our rhinoceros!

You're nuts, Topper!

No joke, Otto is a real-- huh?

A real live rhino!

A yellow one!

There's no such thing as a yellow rhino!

Hang on!

I'll bring him over to the window!

Ugh!

Come on, Otto!

Or Sille will think I'm nuts!

Ugh!

Oh! OW!

Otto doesn't want to come over.

He's eating books.

Okay, so Otto is a yellow rhinoceros that eats books.

Topper, you're the craziest boy I've ever met!

Why couldn't you just take two steps?

Stupid rhino.

Whoa!

No, I didn't mean that.

I'm sorry.

Otto, if you ever fall in love,

I really hope it isn't with a girl who thinks you're crazy,

'cause then you won't be wanted at her birthday party.

Ten loaves, please!

Ma'am.

One loaf?

Ten loaves of bread!

Ah, you want 10 loaves of bread.

Ten loaves, please, yes.

Get your butt out of here!

You think you can come in here and make fun of people?

But I need 10 of your loaves, please.

Vollmer?

Vollmer!

Yes, my dear?

Come up here a second.

It's this nasty boy!

Huh?

He needs to have his ears boxed, he does.

He's making fun of me!

Making fun of you, dearest Amanda?

Yeah, he comes barging in here

and shouts that he wants 10 loaves of bread!

But I know for sure that no normal person

could eat 10 loaves of bread.

You're right, Amanda!

In all the time I've been baking,

I've never met anyone who could eat that much bread.

Otto? And who is this Otto?

Otto is a rhinoceros.

Rhinoceros?

Ahhh!

Well, do something, Vollmer.

The boy's lying and making fun of me!

Yeah, it's simply just a--

Vollmer!

Get out, IJOY!

Or I'm going to call the police!

I'm out of here!

You took care of him for me, Vollmer.

There, perfect!

Hmm, Qh!

Hey!

Oh!

You're scaring away the customers!

Sorry!

What are you up to, Viggo?

No one! No one?

Er, nothing.

I'm not doing anything at all!

I'm just playing with Otto.

Um, I mean, Totter, Otter, er... T-- Topper!

Hey, why are you sneaking around again, Otto?

I'm not sneaking!

You're always sneaking around, all day long!

But it's the boys!

They're the ones sneaking around.

Now, now. Don't work yourself into a--

Ahh!

And why shouldn't I do that?

Viggo's up to something sneaky upstairs.

Oh?

I can feel it in my little finger.

Oh!

Hmm, heh!

Uh, come on in!

Oh! Hmph!

It's odd, Mr. Holm, but for the last hour

my chandelier has been swinging back and forth!

Not your lovely chandelier!

Of course it's mine, Mr. Holm!

I'm not a thief, you know!

NQ,flO,no,no

Dear Miss Flora.

It's as if they had an elephant upstairs.

You don't have an elephant upstairs, do you?

No, no, not at all!

Well, that's a relief.

Uh, it's a rhino?

What did he say?

A rhinoceros!

I'm not serious?

I'm being very serious, Mr. Holm.

Just because I happen--

Oh!

Gesundheit, Mr. Holm!

Hmm, I better go have a look at that rhinoceros.

Where's the bread?

I let it slip that we had a rhino!

And then, the chandelier fell down and--

Ahh!

Huh?

What in the holy socks?

Hi, Holm, this is Otto.

How in the world did you two little guys

get this giant animal up here?

He came on his own.

It's a nice one.

I don't think I've ever seen a better-looking rhinoceros.

Me neither!

But you can't keep him here.

Uh, why not?

Because it won't be long before the ceiling comes down

over poor Miss Flora.

But Otto's only stomping because he's hungry.

That's what rhinos do.

The hungrier they are, the harder the stomp.

So, if he gets something to eat, he won't stomp on the floor?

Yeah, that's right.

It kind of reminds me of the time

I was about to starve to death out in the wilderness.

Holm?

And if it hadn't been for my trusty lighter here--

Holm, we have to get some bread,

or Otto is going to eat our whole living room!

Oh, yeah, that's where we were.

You know what?

I know a place where we can get some hay.

Don't you think he'd like that, huh?

Yeah, and leave the bread to us!

They won't sell any bread to kids in that place.

Really? And why not?

Because they don't like kids.

Oh, so they kicked you out.

Yeah, they wanted to call the cops!

Are you sneaking around again, honey?

No! No, no, no!

I'm cleaning the windows, nothing else!

You're cleaning and not sneaking around?

Well then, close the window. It'll make it easier.

I'm telling you,

something suspicious is going on.

Right, get away from the window, Mr. Sneak A Peek.

Mr. Sneak A Peek!

Give me a break!

Huh?

Strange.

How strange, and peculiar!

Hmm? Huh?

Strange noises.

Strange and weird noises!

Sounds like there's a pig walking around in there.

But then, pigs don't make sounds like that.

They say, "oink," and sometimes they grunt.

Then, what in the world could it be?

Oh!

Huh?

Right then!

Arrrrgh... ugh!

Whoa! Ugh!

Whoa! Ah!

Ahhh! No! Help!

Help me-- oh! Ah!

I'm too young to die!

Fly? No, thank you, I'll walk down the stairs.

Really, Mr. Lion, what are you doing?

I'll tell you something.

What I'm doing isn't important.

It's what everyone else in this building is doing

that should be of concern to you!

No, sir, I have no time for that.

Deaf old loon!

Oh!

What do you want?

Nothing.

Excuse me?

Are you making fun of me?

Nope, I just came into your shop to buy nothing.

You did, huh?

Yes!

Vollmer!

Yes, my love?

This nasty boy here,

he doesn't want to buy anything, Vollmer!

Not buy nothing?

He has to buy something, right?

Of course he has, dearest Amanda.

Everyone who comes into our shop has to buy something.

Exactly!

You tell him, Vollmer!

Yeah, he can't leave until he buys at least, uh...

ten fresh loaves!

What do you say to that, sonny?

Okay, then give me ten loaves, please!

Well now, that's more like it!

You don't make fun of us in our own shop!

I knew it! I could feel it!

Feel what, dear?

I could feel it in my little finger!

Oh.

Uh, hmm.

Listen to this!

Mm-hmm?

Hello? Yes, hello?

Hello? Um, hello? Is this the zoo?

Yes, hello?

Really, do you plan on saying hello for the rest of the day?

Um, no, but--

I'm a very busy man, who's always very busy.

I'm the manager of the zoo,

and managers are always very busy.

Yes, sure!

I can't spend all day just saying hello!

Perhaps you can afford to waste a lot of time, but I can't!

No, I can't!

Hmm.

Here you go, Otto!

Look, it's all yours!

Huh?

Wow!

We'd better get the rest.

Listen, I've got a rhinoceros here in the house,

and I want it out today!

It's dangerous and scary, and I want it dead.

Or buried in a hole, put in a cage,

or put behind barbed wire!

My dad sounds really angry!

We have to protect Otto!

I just want it gone.

This all sounds very drastic.

So, you really have a rhinoceros?

And you want to sell it to me?

No, no!

I just... sell?

Well, why call me?

Um, yeah, yes, that's right!

I'd like to sell the rhinoceros.

We'll hide Otto, so no one can find him!

He's not that easy to hide.

We can make weapons out of these,

so we can fight off whoever tries to take Otto!

Isn't that dangerous?

Of course it's dangerous,

but they should just leave Otto alone!

May I ask you, is it a rhinoceros from Africa,

or perhaps Sumatra?

Well, I don't know. It's yellow.

Yellow? Well, that's remarkable!

But what is your name?

Lion.

L-I-O-N?

Oh, really?

You're a lion who wants to sell a rhinoceros.

Uh, yeah.

I guess so.

I suppose you think you're a very funny man, huh?

But I am a manager!

And we managers don't have time for silly pranks.

Wait, but I'm not a funny man, I promise you!

In that case,

you must be stark raving mad,

which is actually much worse!

Huh?

They don't want the rhino.

Oh, well, what do we do now?

Hmm, the police!

Chief of Police here.

I'm calling about a rhinoceros.

Uh-huh? I want it out!

Help me, Viggo, or they'll take Otto!

But wouldn't it be better if they did?

In a way?

Better? If they take Otto?

How would you like to be put in a cage, Viggo?

Or buried in a hole?

I guess not a lot, really.

So, don't you think we should fight, Viggo?

Yeah... maybe.

Well, I'm going to fight till the end.

Hmm.

Hmm!

Heh.

Hmm!

And hurry on over!

My cafe customers will be scared out of their wits!

Okay, so you're hanging around a cafe,

and then, you seen a rhino!

Well, then I know exactly what you should do.

Oh, that's great.

Well, what should I do?

Stop drinking alcohol.

I-- I don't drink alcohol at all!

Well then, liquor, root beer, whatever.

When you're as drunk as you obviously are,

you see both pink elephants and rhinos.

No, no, no, the rhino is yellow!

Stop drinking, I'm telling you, or I'll put you in jail,

and don't bother the police with all this rhino nonsense!

But-- but--

Understand?

Yeah, Chief of Police here.

This is the teacher calling.

Um, there's a ladybug flying around in my classroom.

Uh-huh?

And today's the last day of school,

but I can't shut down the school until everyone is out.

You have to do something!

Yeah, right.

Well, I tell you what I'm going to do.

I'm going to go out for a walk,

so I can get away from all you drunken wackos

who keep on calling me about rhinos and ladybugs

and pink elephants!

Goodbye!

Argh, be nice to get out and find someone to lock up.

Huh?

Maybe nobody's coming Topper.

They're coming, all right, and we'll be ready!

No, Otto! Stop it!

Don't eat our fort!

No! Stop!

No, Otto! Don't! Stop it, no!

No!

Let go, Otto! No!

Oh, no.

Now how do we protect you if they... oh!

No, Topper, you better not give up.

Wait, hang on!

They're going to take you away, Otto.

And we can't do anything about it.

Come on, Topper!

We can hide Otto!

We just need more blankets.

Forget it, W990-

Otto, stop it! We're wrapping you up!

Wha-- what did you say?

Not wrap up, I meant cover up with blankets and stuff.

Like a present!

Yowre a gen. Ius I Qgo!

Why am I a genius, Topper?

Because it's Sille's birthday today!

Oh, yeah, but-- but what about it?

Sille asked for a puppy, and she didn't get one!

Uh...

But now, she can have a rhino!

How's that going to help?

Because little Viggo,

there's a big giant yard by Sille's

where no one could find Otto!

Great!

But how do we get Otto out of the building?

He's too huge.

Hmm, wait a second!

I got a good idea!

Ah!

Hlllnl?

Huh?

What in tarnation?

Whoa, heV!

A haystack on wheels?

Ugh, let's see.

Uh: hay, H-A-Y.

Haystack, haystack, hay fever!

Or maybe hay bales, jumping bail!

Aha!

Jumping bail!

Come on, Viggo!

Can you not be a little heavier?

No!

I want to go back on the ground, Topper!

You'll be there soon enough.

Because Otto's eating his way through the rope

like it was spaghetti!

Ow...

Look, two babies!

Uh, ahem!

Hey, you still w ant right? a PUPPY,

Yeah, WIIV?

What are you up to?

It's just because, um, Otto is Topper's birthday gift to you.

But didn't you say that Otto was a rhinoceros?

Yeah, that's kind of a puppy too!

Uh, sort of.

A very large PUPPY?

You're nuts, Topper,

and you just keep getting crazier and crazier!

Topper?

Yes, Sille?

Come over at 7 tonight,

and you can have a piece of birthday cake.

She invited me! Sweet, beautiful Sille!

Blech.

Hey, I've got it, Viggo! The pencil!

What about it?

Why didn't we think of it before?

We'll just draw an elevator,

one that's big enough to get Otto down!

Draw an elevator?

Yes, we can draw anything with the magic pencil!

But where the heck is it?

Huh?

Well, is he still hungry up there?

Yeah, he doesn't stop eating.

Oh...

Whoa!

Where'd it go?

Oh!

No, Otto, hang on!

Ahem!

Oh, hello there!

It's illegal to hoist hay through someone's window,

according to regulation 812.

Oh, but the animal's so hungry, he's stomping on the floor.

He might fall through the floor to the downstairs neighbour.

What kind of animal are we talking about?

It's a, uh...

Well, I don't see why that's so important.

Come on, man, out with it.

But you won't believe me.

Uh, let's see.

Could it be a horse?

No.

Uh, bup, bup, bup.

Ah, well it must be a goat!

Mm-mm!

Well, a billy goat of some sort,

because we're in the goat department, right?

Mm-mm!

Spit it out!

Well, it's a... rhinoceros.

Rhinoceros?

Well, let me see.

There's nothing in the law about rhinoceroses, per se.

Good! Well, I'll just get on with it.

Whoa, just a sec.

I think you got to pay an excise tax on that animal.

Excise tax?

Yeah!

I'm just going to have to inspect this rhino.

In-se-pect him?

That doesn't sound good!

At all!

Ugh!

Oh, Otto, where's the pencil?

Yeah!

Oh, no, Otto! No!

Don't, Otto!

Lfit gq!

Huh?

Well, this is very big.

What are you going to do to him?

Now, now.

I will not have little kids

interfering with official police work.

Huh?

This is all I could find.

All right, well,

let's see if I can get him up on it.

Right.

And push!

So, we'll have to weigh one foot,

and then multiply by one, two, three... four!

Okay, what does it say?

Huh?

Uh, 100 kilos. Yeah.

Uh, no, wait, wait!

200 kilos!

Yeah, that's far too much. He's got to go.

So, is Otto going to go to jail, then?

You don't put a creature like that in jail.

That's right!

Otto's not going to go to jail!

Nah, it's better to put him down.

No!

You can't do that!

What did I say about interfering with police business?

Uh, you won't have it!

That's right, I won't have it.

But-- but Mr. Chief of Police,

I can get Otto out with this!

Hey, give that back!

But I can draw an elevator so Otto can get out.

What a rambling bunch of childish nonsense.

Now, give it here!

Mm-mm!

No, no!

No, no! I won't, no!

Huh?

Oh, not the pencil!

Oh, no!

Well, Otto will eat anything.

Uh-huh.

And we can't get him out of the building.

Hmm.

Unless we cut him up into smaller chunks!

No!

Now don't you start your whining again,

you snotty-nosed little brat!

Otto!

Oh!

I have had enough of this!

Now, give me back my hat!

Argh!

Ugh!

Phew!

Give me back my hat,

you big stupid animal!

Huh?

Uh-oh.

Huh?

That was the last straw!

Everybody 0kaV?

Miss Flora!

Huh?

But Otto could have something stuck in his throat!

Stay where you are, the floor could give way!

But Otto! He can't breathe!

Oh!

Well, guess that's my cue.

Ah!

You saved Otto!

Huh?

Well, it was just a standard Heimlich Manoeuvre.

You-- you saved him!

Let's go all the way down!

Hey, hey, take it easy, kid!

You want to fall through again?

That's exactly what I want!

What are you, nuts?

He's Sille's gift!

I said, stop it!

I've had just about enough of you, kid.

Leave me alone!

Where are you taking Topper?

He's, uh...

he's under house arrest.

Under house arrest?

I said put me down!

You just stay there till you cool down.

But I have to get Otto over to Sille's!

Argh!

How nice to have guests around for coffee,

and a rhino and all!

Yep, and you're a handsome fella, aren't ya?

Didn't I just save you?

I'm sorry, Mr. Holm just ate the last one.

But I'll go put some more cookies in the oven!

Heh.

Ahhh!

There, there, Otto.

What will happen to the rhino?

And what about Topper?

Don't worry.

Yes, indeed.

Let's have a little of Flora's coffee first.

Good idea!

Why don't we toast the fact that I saved the rhino?

Now, that's worth celebrating, and that Flora's safe and sound.

That's right!

A herculean effort!

To herculean efforts and rhinos!

Viggo, help!

Otto!

Oh!

Huh?

But...

Oh, quite the little party they're having.

Why, we decent people just have to accept

that the whole building's shaking!

They're laughing at me!

Well, let me just show them that the gentle Mr. Lion can roar!

Uh, heh!

Is the old lady home?

Yes, she is.

We're having a little celebration.

Oh!

What's the occasion, if I might ask?

Well, I guess it's mostly on account of Otto.

Otto?

You're having a party for Otto?

Otto the rhino is actually quite a good guy.

Heh!

Am I a good guy?

Well, I actually couldn't say, but that rhinoceros?

Heh, he's a really great guy. Just great!

The rhinoceros?

Yeah.

Oh, and I'm the one who rescued him.

Oh, I see.

But the whole building is shaking!

My lamps are falling from the ceiling!

Can't you get that animal out of here?

No.

No?

No.

Otto's much too big to get through the door.

Come on, see for yourself.

Well, if he's too big,

can't we just cut him into smaller chunks?

No, I can't permit that.

You got to understand,

I've become a little attached to this fella.

What?

But if the rhino falls down into my cafe...

the police should do something!

Well, the police...

...are concerned with law and order.

Rhinos are neither lawful nor orderly.

Rhinoceri are chaotic and disorderly,

so it's not our problem!

But you're the Chief of Police!

Yeah, I am, all right.

Of being the Chief of Police!

I'm getting fed-up sick and tired

of being the Chief of Police!

Okay, then I'll do it myself.

Hlllnl?

Ugh!

These, ladies and gentlemen, are the house rules,

and it says here in black and white

it's forbidden to keep pets in the building!

Ah!

Yep, I therefore demand that this rhino here--

Lion, aren't those rules kind of stupid?

We already have the birds, and everyone likes them.

Everyone? Ha! Are you crazy?

Those disgusting feather-dusters are noisy and they stink!

No, I10, stop that!

Stop, in the name of the law!

What? What was that?

Did you mention the name of the law?

Oh, what I meant was according to the house rules--

Ouch!

Oh, yeah, that's Captain Squeak. He has a weak stomach today.

Ugh!

W990, Come 0,1! Let's go!

Move it!

But we're having cookies!

This isn't over yet. Hmph!

This is no way to treat a Lion!

I promise you this, Viggo!

They'll be hearing from us! Yes, they will!

Because you and me, son, are going to call--

Ugh!

Hey, come on!

But I have to help Topper.

Topper is under house arrest, and Otto is Sille's gift.

Please don't call it Otto! It's just a rhinoceros.

But--

No buts about it!

What is going on here?

Well, you see, uh...

A... is that a rhinoceros?

Yes, his name is Otto.

Huh?

Wh-- where is Topper?

Oh.

Topper!

Why didn't you send my letters to Dad?

You said you'd send them!

I couldn't send them, love.

Hmph.

Oh, dear Topper.

You just addressed them to

"My dad, on one of the Seven Seas."

I couldn't send them, sweetie.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want to upset you.

Well, do-- do I even have a father?

Hmm, of course you do, Toppen

I just don't know where he is.

You ended up upsetting me, anyway.

I'm sorry, Topper-

And I'm going to upset Sille

if I don't manage to bring her a gift.

Is it her birthday?

Yes, and Otto was my gift.

Now she'll think I'm nuts!

And that Otto wasn't for real.

Then, we'll just have to bring Otto to Sille.

Yeah, but how?

We'll help you, Topper!

Huh?

Come on, we're getting him over to Sille's house

before it's too late!

What's too late?

Well, it's my dad. He's gone berserk!

It's up there!

Spray a ton of water in there,

and if any stupid birds get in the way,

just spray them too!

Especially the one named Captain Squeak,

just let him have it!

He's a bad bird!

Hey, I don't see any smoke up there!

There's fire all over the place!

The whole place is full of flames!

Just spray a ton of water up there!

I can't see or smell any fire!

But-- Or smoke!

I can assure you--

But I can smell lovely flowers!

Yeah, and coffee! I can smell coffee!

And cookies!

Oh, cookies?

No!

Hey, that looks nice!

Oh, hello there!

Where's the fire, boys?

There's no fire here! There's no fire anywhere!

Come on in!

No!

We smelled the coffee.

And cookies!

Oh, nonsense, boys.

Have a cup of coffee.

Oh, gosh, a rhino!

Hey, we need you to get him outside.

HOW?

Well, it sure won't be easy.

Well, why don't we call for the crane?

Yeah, is there time for coffee first?

And cookies!

Grrr!

Imagine that, a pet rhino!

It's something else!

Hey!

Hey there.

You don't play around with fire.

Hey, back off!

It's the first time this thing's worked all year!

Hello? Can you call for that crane now?

Oh, here comes the coffee!

And the cookies!

Ahhhh!

Ha ha ha!

I guess the party's over, huh?

Hey, shut the door!

You think so? Check this out!

Ha ha, this is great!

What are you doing, Otto?

Otto is not a rhinoceros!

I was Otto first!

Ahhh!

Huh?

Oh, Mr. Holm!

Oh?

Oh!

My cafe!

My beautiful cafe.

What's going on here?

Is there a fire?

I'm ruined!

Yeah, but look! A rhinoceros!

Wow!

They have a rhino in there!

A yellow rhinoceros?

Oh, cool!

Come on, everyone!

Hlllnl?

Let's have a look!

One special, please!

Okay, that's two.

Thank you, coming up!

Four black coffees, please.

Just a minute!

Viggo, give me a hand here.

Okay, folks!

My new cafe is open!

Come in and see the rhino!

I present Otto, the world's only yellow rhinoceros,

and an all-around great guy!

Oh!

Huh?

Here are your refills.

There yOll 9°!

Come on, Otto! We'll be late!

Whoa!

Where do you think you're going with that rhino?

But Otto's my gift to Sille!

Ha ha, no, I don't think so, kid.

There, easy now.

Right now, this rhino's coming with me.

So, we can sing a song for Otto.

But I have to--

Ah, bup, bup, bup!

Otto's got other obligations too, you know.

♪ For he's a jolly good rhino ♪

♪ For he's a jolly good rhino ♪

♪ For he's a jolly good rhino ♪

♪ Which nobody can deny ♪

♪ Which nobody can deny, which nobody can deny ♪

Why haven't you left yet?

Hurry on over to Sille's.

You should have been there a long time ago.

But she'll be upset if I don't have a gift for her.

She'll be even more upset if you get there really late.

Sille!

I don't think he's coming, honey.

No.

Stupid birthday!

Stupid dress!

And stupid, stupid Topper!

Sill--

tiel

Hello, moon.

I really understand why Sille thinks I'm nuts.

And it really is nuts to draw a rhino on the wall,

and write letters to someone who doesn't exist.

I hate summer vacation.

Goodbye!

See ya!

Uh, YUP, that one up there.

A double, please.

Thank you for this evening.

Hallo Holm. Can 't you tell us a good bedtime story?

It was nice of them, that they let me stay with them. Because of the hole in the floor.

That might be tomorrow, Topper. I told you that we could switch.

- I never thought they'd ask. - Well , no.

Well yes, I mean.. Shit..yes

- Thank you for tonight... Welcome back.

Ah!

Oh!

Uh, ten loaves...

Oh... Sille... oh.

Mm... the pencil.

No, Otto!

Huh? Oh!

Oh!

Dad?

Huh?

Dad!

Topper!

Dad! Dad, you're home!

Yup, and I brought some parrots too!

Huh?

Uh, hello?

Look, Mom!

Dad brought parrots with him!

I hope you're allowed to have pets in the house.

Of course!

We have a rhino!

Ha ha, a yellow rhinoceros!

You don't say?

They're sleeping.

Oh, right, Shh!

You know what, Topper?

I was just talking to the chieftain of the Fijutsi Islands

about such a rhinoceros.

Come!

What type of chieftain was he, Dad?

I sat with the chieftain of the Fijutsi Islands

under the southern star,

and he said, "If you can find me a yellow rhino, sailor,

I'll give you three of my prettiest wives."

Imagine, I come home to my boy,

and find a real live yellow rhinoceros

lying right next to him!

His name is Otto,

and I'm the one who drew him.

How on earth did that come to be?

Well, I'll tell you all about it.

But then, Otto drank all the water

and got really, really huge,

and that's when everyone fell through the floor

down to the cafe!

And the Chief of Police and Otto are best friends now?

Yeah!

He's sleeping on Otto's belly.

Hey?

And what about the pencil?

That's inside of Otto's belly.

Yeah.

Hey, Dad?

Are you staying for the whole summer?

We lift anchor tomorrow afternoon.

But for Christmas, I'll be around a few days.

OkaY

Well, then I'll try not to fall asleep.

Oh, why's that?

Because I also have to tell you about... Sille!

It was her birthday.

And Otto was my gift.

And cake...

Yeah, that's a good boy.

Sleep well.

Hmm.

Good night.

Dad?

Uh, Otto?

Where in heaven's name is Otto?

Uh, Otto's disappeared!

Otto has appeared?

I didn't even know he was gone.

Oh!

Whoa!

No, no! Get that animal away from me, or--

No!

Oh, no!

Get him away from this place!

My cafe! My beautiful cafe!

Ah!

Huh?

Viggo, what did I say about windows?

Whoa, ah!

Viggo, be careful!

Ahh! Oh!

Look out!

Take it easy, Otto!

Easy now, boy!

Oh!

My boy, I was so worried!

Look out, Topper.

Come on, Topper.

He's a wild animal. He sure is.

Hmm.

Dad?

Yup, he's a wild one.

Do you think that the chieftain would want Otto?

Yeah, why not?

I'm pretty sure he would!

Oh, hang on. Who's taking Otto?

The chieftain of Fijutsi Islands wants to trade

for three of his prettiest wives.

Do you think Otto would like to go and live there?

Otto would love to live in Fijutsi.

Whoa, hold up.

Just where are these Faj-- Fudge-- Fujit Islands, anyway?

In the Bengo Ocean, a beautiful place!

I see.

He's nice and calm now.

Good boy, Otto!

Have another bite!

Whoa, what about me?

I mean, things going to get kind of lonely here without Otto.

The chieftain will need an official rhino keeper.

Will he now?

Huh, I wonder who that could be.

Well, it could be the Chief of Police!

Chief of Police? Why, that's me!

Yeah, I could be the rhino keeper

on those Faji-- those beautiful islands!

Yup.

That sounds like the best job in the whole world!

And you even get three

of the chieftain's prettiest wives, you know.

Well, I'm pretty sure one would probably be enough.

Well, you can take that up with the chieftain himself.

Ahoy, skipper!

Ahoy there!

And down! And down!

Come on, easy now!

Come on, come on, good.

Come this way, good, good.

A little more, that's it.

Come on, come on.

Oh, they're hoisting another rhino onto that ship down there!

That is Otto!

Well, I don't really know if I have a motto,

but I guess it would be,

"A hiccup a day will keep the doctor away."

Uh, I don't think that's quite right.

What's that?

No, it's-- it's not "hiccup."

Do you have the hiccups, little Holmsy?

Boo!

Ahh!

And stop!

Did you see that, Viggo?

He winked at me!

Huh? Huh?

I thought you had dropped your teeth in the Atlantic Ocean.

I did, kids. These are new!

Argh!

They're from Madagascar, first-class craftsmanship!

So, if you ever have the need for new teeth,

go to Madagascar!

Or maybe it was Malm6.

Can we see them?

Whoa!

I wish my dad had teeth like those!

Well, he probably will at some point.

Cool! I can't wait!

I'm going to borrow them when I dress up.

I'll also borrow them!

You can borrow your own dad's.

All aboard!

Set sail for Fijutsi Islands!

All aboard!

You have to go, Dad.

Do I have to?

They're casting off!

And if Otto and the Chief of Police

are both going to be aboard,

there won't be enough room for me.

Yeah, but... what?

I could just stay here,

and spend the summer with my son.

Ah!

Yeah!

Hey, Dad, then we could--

we can-- would you hang with me and look for stuff?

I need a new tipper!

And imagine if there were other magic pencils out there!

Easy now, Topper, plenty of time.

Wasn't there something you didn't get to do last night?

Did you get to Sille's birthday?

Hlllnl?

No.

I got there too late.

I'm supposed to give Otto to her, but...

Was it you or Otto she invited?

It was... me!

Right.

I-- I need to go!

There yOll 9°!

The Yellow Rhinoceros Cafe!

Holmy and I will really show the whole town

how cool my cafe actually is.

Uh-huh.

It's like I always said, Otto is a fine fellow.

I really love animals!

And the animals love you, dear.

Yuck!

Hi, Sille.

What do you want?

Uh, I'm sorry!

I thought I could only come if I had a good gift for you,

but it's not really the gift you're upset about,

is it, Sille?

Every year, I hoped to be invited to your birthday party.

Uh, really?

And when I finally get invited, I get there too late.

You really do believe I'm nuts, don't you?

Mm-hmm!

But about Otto,

he really is a rhinoceros!

Look, that's him sailing by now!

That's not a rhinoceros!

That's just an ordinary ship.

Hlllnl?

You're nuts, Topper.

And I really like that you're nuts.

You do?

Is it good to be nuts?

Would you still like a pet for your birthday?

Yeah, but not a rhino.

Oh, ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Wow, what a cute red bird!

You're super nuts, Topper!

Yeah, and you're super cute!

Super nuts!
