Summary
  • There is a mouse named Ralph that has a
    motorcycle and lives at the Mountain View Inn
    with his mom, Uncle Lester and brothers and
    sisters. He hates it when his mom tells him what
    to do. So one day, he decides to leave the hotel
    and when he leaves he drives his motorcycle and
    finds a camp. He is so tired from the trip, so
    he decides to take a nap under a tree. As he
    closes his eyes, a cat jumps in front of him and
    says, I want to eat you. Then a boy named Garf
    catches Ralph in a butterfly net. Garf decides
    that he wants Ralph to be his pet. One day,
    Karen loses her watch and cannot find it.
    Everybody thinks Garf stole it because he is
    always in the craft shop where it was taken. But
    then Karen finds her watch in her sleeping bag
    where Ralph put it after the cat, Casto, stole
    it. Ralph then needs to go home but his
    motorcycle is out of gas so Garf and his parents
    take Ralph back to the Inn and he lives happily
    ever after.
