Treasure Buddies

---

This will add nicely to Babi's treasure.

Ah!

- As-salaam alaikum, Uncle Babi.

- Nephew Babu.

My new apprentice, you have arrived.

Welcome to Uncle Babi's humble palace.

Babu is most excited

to learn art of adventure.

Good to hear. Babi is most excited

to teach art of adventure.

Babi always wanted a sidekick.

Wow! Uncle Babi,

look at all your treasures.

Babi like shiny objects.

I want to be great adventurer

and treasure hunterjust like you.

No more organ grinder

school for Babu.

I will teach you everything I know.

What is the greatest treasure

you ever found, Uncle Babi?

Ohh!

That is a very special story

that Babi has not told anyone.

Tell Babu! Tell Babu, please!

OK. It all happened

when Babi met the Buddies.

You know the Buddies?!

Uncle Babi not only friends

with the Buddies,

but Babi once saved their lives.

Is this another one

of your tall tales, Uncle Babi?

My mom says you

exaggerate sometimes.

No, cheeky monkey.

This is truest of true story.

It all started 40 years ago,

when a brave adventurer

named Thomas Howard

came to Egypt with his best

friend and partner, Digger,

looking for the Bronze of Bastet.

We've done it, Digger.

Good boy.

What is a Bronze of Bastet,

Uncle Babi?

It is the first clue

leading to a great treasure:

the lost collar of Cleocatra.

The other half is missing.

The chest was booby-trapped.

Run, boy! Run, boy, run!

Leave it, Digger.

It's too dangerous. Let's go!

Ah!

Good boy.

Phew!

That was close call.

Babu happy Digger escaped from tomb.

So did they ever find the other half?

And where are the Buddies?

Be patient, Babu.

Great adventurer has much patience.

Now hurry up and listen,

so Uncle Babi can continue story.

Many years went by

and Thomas retired.

He moved to a small town

called Fernfield,

where he opened a museum,

had a family and

a grandson named Pete.

And so Digger and I made it out

just as the tomb collapsed.

And Digger had grandpuppies, too,

who were heroic, just like him.

Buddha, Budderball, Mudbud,

B-Dawg and their little sis, Rosebud.

But don't let

the pink bow fool you,

she is feistier

than all the boys combined.

And we brought this half of the

Bronze of Bastet back to Fernfield.

This way, please.

OK, let's move to the next room.

Whoa, Digger was the coolest dude ever.

Perhaps Digger's spirit lives in you.

You both love dirt.

Yo, Digger was old-school cool.

- I'm the new fly dog.

- I met your great grandpappy

when I was knee-high to a grasshopper.

I heard grasshoppers and bugs

are a delicacy in some countries.

Can you imagine ever being so

hungry you have to eat bugs?

Yeah, right, Budderball.

You'd eat anything...

other than vegetables.

As the legend goes,

Cleopatra was given a necklace,

which contained the powerful

jewel of the Cat's Eye.

But, somehow, it became lost.

But you almost found it,

didn't you, Grandpa?

I certainly tried, Peter.

Well... that wraps up my last tour.

Thank you.

Thank you all for being here.

Have a wonderful day.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Wow, Grandpa, that was great.

Ah, if you like it, Peter,

that's enough for me.

Why does the museum have to close?

Such a bummer.

Yes, Pete, it is a... bummer.

And we haven't had the funding

to acquire a new exhibit

in quite some time.

It's really too bad you and Digger

never found the other half,

and the lost necklace of Cleocatra.

I just hope a young archeologist

like you finds it,

and not some greedy grave robber.

How did dogs become man's

best friends if cats were first?

The Cat's Eye necklace was

believed to have magical powers.
