In this big outside world, Ratty imagines, the fruit must be much sweeter, the bird songs more beautiful,and the other animals far more interesting and sophisticated. So he sets off in search of better things. But when he is asked to attend a dinner party by a crocodile who seems just a bit too friendly, Ratty realizes that perhaps there is no place like home after all.
