Gargamel is on the prowl through the forest again, he is armed with his usual smurf hunting net as Azrael gets his claws ready to slash smurf flesh. "Ha ha Azrael," laughed Gargamel, "I would soon have those pestering little smurfs, I would just have to destroy them one at a time."

"Meow?" asked Azrael.

"Of course I won't take it back to my home," said Gargamel, "I have another location in mind, but I feel there's eyes & ears everywhere in this forest so stay quiet."

Azrael sissed, sounding like he's agreeing with him. As Gargamel tip-toes through the forest, he then spots what appears to be a mushroom patch. He immediately drop to the ground as he saw something blue suddenly appearing out of nowhere, Azrael was about to get into a pouncing position when Gargamel placed a hand on his neck, "Let this smurf go Azrael," he whispered, "It is unwise to attack them so close to safety."

The cat nods and crotches down as the smurf pass by them, unaware of their presence. Gargamel gestures to Azrael by pointing up a nearby tree before crawling towards, Azrael quickly scramble up the tree as Gargamel climbs up it. After getting about 5 meters above the ground, Gargamel pulls out binoculars and scans the village for smurfs.

He saw many of them working on their daily chores, some of whom singing the usual smurf song. "Easy peasy," whispered Gargamel, "All we have to do is wait till night Azrael, before we would make our move."

Azrael made a low evil laugh, and so the waiting game begins.

As Gargamel hides up in the tree, he take note of the estimate of all 100 smurfs. He looks among them for a weak smurf to prey on, and he found several potential candidates.

There is Vanity who views himself as beautiful, if he thinks there's something wrong with his looks he'll stay locked up in his own home for days. Lazy Smurf might do, since he always sleeps in well hidden places. Clumsy is a good candidate, he trips on his feet that often. The Smurflings also easy to catch, probably because they don't pay attention that much.

Gargamel stayed up in the tree for hours, right up till midnight. Just a few hours after the smurfs went to bed, Gargamel climbed down the tree, "Let's move Azrael," he whispered to his cat.

Azrael tiptoes behind as Gargamel checked for a suitable house to rob, he found a suitable one near the edge of the village. When he looks through the window, he sees a smurf sleeping peacefully in the bed.

After examining the mushroom building, Gargamel decides that its too risky to crack the mushroom house open within the village limits. So he came up with a brilliant plan, he pulls out a garden shovel and begin to dig up the actual mushroom house from its foundation. He was careful not to disturb the house that much, he didn't want to wake the smurf inside.

Once he's finished stirring up the soil underneath the mushroom building, he carefully lifts it out of the ground and walks out of the village with it. He walked 100 meters, careful not to disturb the smurf inside. Once he is within a safe distance from the smurf village, he attempts to pry the roof off the building.

The mushroom house is well built, Gargamel wasn't able to pop the building open like a jar. "Hrm, if I can't get through the roof," thought Gargamel, "Why not get through the floor?"

Gargamel tries to pry the floor off the mushroom home as silently as possible, and soon achieved success. There the smurf was, still sleeping on the bed. Gargamel checks to see if the smurf is real and not an imitation by placing a finger on its neck. He felt the smurf's pulse, indeed this is all too real.

The evil wizard quickly pulls out a glass jar and carefully picks up the smurf and puts him inside, then he seals up the jar as tight as possible. "Okay Azrael," said Gargamel, "Let's get out of here, I don't want the smurfs to find me this time."

He rushes out of the area with Azrael following behind, with smurf in hand.
