This is a paintball competition with fruit being used as ammunition. We have a problem. The sneaky squirrel team are playing with stolen ammunition.

The weasel team accuse the squirrels. The foxes join in.

'You stole from us! You ambushed us and took our blueberries!'

Chaos breaks out in the forest. All the animals accuse the squirrel team of cheating.

'Thieves! Disqualify them!' shout the weasels, foxes, and even Magali and her friends.

Oh, dear. Is the referee, Mr Woodpecker, going to sort this mess out? But wait a minute, nobody is paying attention to the Mini Tree Trunk team. Looks like they're going to get to the winner's flag whilst all the chaos is going on!

Not if Magali and Mishka get there first! And they're in for a big surprise when they find out who the mysterious Mini Tree Trunks really are!
