A strange hare showed up at the gates of Redwall last night. He has grey hair which he claims is from old age. He carries a big spear and says he's from Salamandastrom. Tangle took one look at that hare and got a group of dibbuns to spy on him. When they found out that the so called hare didn't like tea or pastries we knew something was wrong. So one night a small group of dibbuns snuck into his room. But one dibbun tripped and woke up the hare. The hare sat up and he wasn't a hare he was a stinky rat! The group escaped and told Mother Mellus but she didn't believe them. So it's up to you to find out what this rat is up to and stop him at all costs!
The following is a report made by my brother Zotchcum Tollane Treespear.

"That 'hare' as he called himself turned out to be an evil rat! We discovered that today while we were trying to sneak up on him. We told Ma Mellus, but that silly badger wouldn’t believe us! Boy will she be sorry when she finds out we were telling the truth! Anyway, were was I? Oh yes, The rat's name wasn't really Horjohn like he said, but Finktail. (We found that out by finding a letter from his mother.)
We have got to find out what he’s up to! And whatever it is, we’ve got to stop him. I now hand the writing over to Tiltzie, as I do not enjoy writing."

"As you have already heard, the hare was a rat. Today we snuck into his room again and this time we were a little more quiet. We found the letter again and read it. The following is what it said:"
Dear Finktail, my son.
You must make it to Redwall and get the secret recipe from their cook. I must have those raspberry scones! I don’t care what you have to do, as long as you get that recipe. Enclosed is a hare costume that I made for you, and your brother’s spear. They should come in handy, the spear especially, as it will aid you if you come across any troublemakers. Well I have got to go son,
Love, your mother
Thornside.
"Well, after reading the letter, we knew why the rat was here, and what he was up to. So we took his spear, and I ran to the kitchens to warn the sisters, but they shooed me away and called me a thief. Why is it no one believes me? I realize that time is running out quickly, as yet another day has passed, but it is getting late and I must go to sleep. I now pass the writing on to my best friend Lekeila."

"Today’s the day! The rat flew into a complete rage when he discovered his spear missing. Although I think he did suspect us dibbuns for stealing it, he was definitely trying to contain his temper for fear it would rouse suspicions. We all tried our best to avoid the hare impersonator, as we noticed a vengeful glare every time we looked at him. With no spear we thought he was harmless, but as we later found out, we were wrong. He captured one of our fellow dibbuns and hid her in his room. She was a mouse, no one that I knew, but I had seen her from time to time. When Ma Mellus found her missing, she claimed that the mouse had run away. You must excuse me, Zotch seems to have something very important to tell you."

"I’ve done it!! I snuck into that rats room by myself and took the letter. I hid it under my vest and I then asked Father Abbot to read me a story, after the story was finished, I told him I had a story to tell him, a true story. Then I told him of all that had occurred since the so called hare came. At first he didn’t believe me, but then I showed him the letter, and told him that we also had the rat’s spear. I took him to where we had hidden the spear he said that he would do something, but he didn’t say what. But Tilt has something, so I end my report."

"I may have an incurable case of mischief, as Ma Mellus says, but I think that I am very clever because I have hidden in Finktail’s room, and overheard him mumbling while he wrote a letter to (I assume) his mother, this, although very broken up, is what I heard:"
Dear..................I have lost my spear to a bunch of........................I am getting very frustrated because.................I think the guy in charge here, whoever......................is on to me.........Who ever thought it would be so difficult to steal a.........................I’m about ready to give.............your..............Finktail.
"I went in the kitchen and begged the cook to make me some raspberry scones, she finally gave in when I gave her my bambi look. I then asked her if I could watch, but unfortunately she said that I could stay in the kitchens only if I helped. While we were making the scones, we ran out of flour. (Truly coincidence I assure you) So she had to go get more. While she was gone I copied the ‘secret recipe’. When the sister came back, I told her I wanted to go play. When she said no, I ‘accidentally’ spilled some flour on the floor, and so she sent me away. I took the copy of the recipe and changed it just a little bit. Here is my new version of the recipe, I think it is very clever! Don’t you?"
Redwall’s secret raspberry scone recipe
2 cups sleeping powder
1/3 cup salt
2 teaspoons hotroot pepper
1 teaspoon dirt
4 tablespoons rust powder, mixed with water.
3/4 cup dirty dishwater
1 unripe blackberry
1/2 cup rotten raspberries (the brown, and green furry ones are the best.)
1 cranberry
2 tablespoons juice, squeezed from willow leaves.
"I then gave the recipe to Lekeila, and she will tell you what she did."

"I snuck into the kitchen today, and stole three of the raspberry scones that were made yesterday. I ate one (I just couldn’t resist) and took two to the rat and tried to look like an unsuspecting little angel. At first he said he didn’t want one, until I pretended to cry, and said that they were special scones, and that only Redwall had the secret recipe. He took a scone and bit into it. Then I told him that I had permission to give him the secret recipe if he liked them. His look of disgust was quickly replaced by a sly grin as I handed him the fake recipe. Without even glancing at the recipe, he put it into his pocket and turned his back, snickering to himself. I took this opportunity to get the poor mousemaid out of the trunk next to the door, we ran down the hall and told our team the news. We had done it!"

"What clever little ones we have, after Lekeila, and Zotchcum came running up to me and told me of their adventures with their good friends, I told the abbot that I very much believed them, as I had had many adventures similar to this one when I was a dibbun. Me and Father Abbot then went straight up to this Horjohn, as he called himself, and told him, quite truthfully, that someone else was in need of his room, and that he could go to another room if he wanted. As we expected he said he was quite ready to get moving again, and so he left without giving us much trouble. I’m still laughing over that silly scone recipe that Lekeila’s friend wrote! What will those dibbuns think of next? I now conclude my report – Walden Treespear "
