Yum! Yum! A delicious smell wakes up Mouse. He follows his nose down the street to a Cinco de Mayo festival. High up in a tree he spies a piata magnifica. If only Mouse could get just one piece of candy from it. But look out! Cat is on the prowl. He is planning a fiesta of his own, and Mouse is on the menu.
