NARRATOR: Around and along,

in the middle of... somewhere

lives a little Sound Collector.

Ah, yes, and his best friend, Mole.

Putting in his hearing aids, the Sound Collector starts to hear

the world around him.

WAVE OF SOUND SWELLS

MOLE GRUNTS, TOY SQUEAKS

NARRATOR CHUCKLES Yes, she can do that for hours.

CLOCK TICKING

OK, time to collect some sounds.

Hm. It looks like rain today.

SWITCH CLICKS

Ah, listen to that.

THUNDER RUMBLES, SOUND COLLECTOR GASPS

Ooh.

The splash of water from the waterwheel.

WATER SPLASHES

The rush of warm summer wind in the trees.

WIND BLOWS, THUNDER RUMBLES

Uh-oh. Sounds like thunder.

Hm. Maybe it's not a day to be outside.

MOLE GRUNTS

NARRATOR CHUCKLES Well, someone thinks it is.

GASPS

Yes, a storm is on its way.

Wow!

GASPS, THUNDER RUMBLES

MOLE GRUNTS

Quite right, Mole! It's a day to be indoors.

The storm is a great opportunity to record some amazing sounds.

How exciting!

THUNDER RUMBLES, MOLE GRUNTS

Uh-oh. Mole isn't keen.

TOY SQUEAKING

MOLE THUDDING UPSTAIRS

It sounds like thunder upstairs as well.

GASPS

THUNDER RUMBLES

Love the sound of rain on a window pane.

MOLE THUDDING UPSTAIRS

But poor Mole.

MOLE WHIMPERS

THUNDER RUMBLES

I think someone needs a hug.

TOY SQUEAKS, MOLE SNIFFS

Hello, you.

She really isn't a fan of stormy weather.

THUNDER RUMBLES

MOLE GRUNTS

Aw, that's better. Great idea.

Mole is always ready for something to eat.

THUNDER RUMBLES, MOLE WHIMPERS

But even food can't take her mind off this storm.

WHIMPERS

I guess some sounds aren't made for little moles.

MOLE WHIMPERS Huh?

Hm... Mm-hm.

What's he up to?

CASSETTE PLAYER WHIRRS

Well, will you listen to that?

INSECTS CHIRP ON TAPE

Summer sounds.

Gentle, happy noises.

THUNDER RUMBLES, MOLE WHIMPERS

VOLUME ON TAPE INCREASES

Yes, louder.

INSECTS CHIRPING ON TAPE

The sounds that Mole loves... all around her.

RELIEVED SIGH

Yes. It's going to be just fine.

Easy does it.

MOLE GRUNTS

Wonderful.

BIRDS CHIRP

Ah, the storm has passed.

MOLE SNIFFS

TOY SQUEAKS

Mole seems very happy about it, too.

SOUND COLLECTOR GASPS, STOMACH GROWLS

Oh, Mole. It's OK.

It was just the rumble of hunger!

MOLE GRUNTS, TOY SQUEAKS

Come on, Mole. It's time for lunch.
