(Tokyo, Japan) The crowd in Smurf Village of Tokyo was jubilant today as a 2-day long rescue of a common brown rat came to a happy conclusion. Officials estimate there are millions of such rats in the city, but each one is considered holy, much like cows in India. Two rats adorn the city crest, and mayor Goldberg keeps a dozen as pets.

The rescued 11-month old rat, named Polly by its owner Peter Parker, was stuck in the innards of a historic battlefield. "My poor Polly!" despaired Parker, "The gods will be vengeful if anything happens to the holy animal!" Fortunately, the city's Rescue Rangers quickly sprung into action.
