"The Trouble With Tribbles" / STAR TREK / One of Star Trek's most memorable episodes, "The Trouble / With Tribbles," first aired in 1967. The trouble with these / soothing little fur balls is that they reproduce at warp speed / and go boldly through Space Station K-7 eating anything / that's not nailed down - including an entire shipment of grain / entrusted to Captain Kirk's care! In the end, however, the / tribbles - who hate Klingons - expose a Klingon agent who / has poisoned the grain. As a parting gift, the remainder / of them are beamed aboard the enemy ship, where Mr. Scott / promises they'll be "no trouble at all." / Press the button on the base of the ornament / to hear Captain Kirk speak and see the troublesome / tribbles fall from the overhead compartment. / Don Palmiter / Hallmark Keepsake Artist / BATTERY-OPERATED. Batteries included. Instructions printed inside box. / For decorative use only. Not for children under 8. / Concue a des fins decoratives seulement. / Ne convient pas aux enfants de moins de 8 ans. / handcrafted - dated 2008
