NARRATOR: Around and along,

in the middle of... somewhere,

lives a little Sound Collector.

YAWNS

Ah, yes, and his best friend, Mole.

MOLE GRUNTS

It looks like a morning for making things.

Hm. Some sort of whistle?

With his hearing aids in,

the Sound Collector starts to hear the world around him.

WAVE OF SOUND SWELLS

DUCK CALLER QUACKS

Ha-ha. That's no whistle. MOLE GASPS

QUACKING CONTINUES It sounds like a duck!

Uh-oh. She thinks there's a duck in the house.

MOLE GRUNTS, QUACKING CONTINUES

So, what's he gonna use it for?

QUACKING CONTINUES, THUMPING UPSTAIRS

See? There's no duck. It just sounds like one.

MOLE GRUNTS

I think Mole wants a go.

QUACKING

Ha-ha-ha! That's so Mole.

Time to go and find some others.

QUACKING Oh, I see.

He's using his duck call to talk to real ducks.

No luck, no duck.

What about here?

Ah! Perhaps they'd like to talk.

QUACKING

That's a bit rude.

QUACKING

Hello?

Oh, no wonder.

They're statues.

TAPE RECORDER CLICKS Hm.

Lovely.

Ha-ha. Thanks for the sounds. Bye, ducks.
