GENTLE MUSIC

NARRATOR: Around and along, in the middle of somewhere,

lives a little sound collector.

Aw, 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

Aw!

Maybe today he'll record a really special sound.

Something he's never heard before.

MOLE SNUFFLES EXCITEDLY

Before he can record anything, Mole has got to have her breakfast.

SHE SNUFFLES INSISTENTLY

She does love it.

WAVE OF SOUND SWELLS

WHEEL CLANKS, WATER TRICKLES

Let's go and find some more.

Look at that! A sycamore seed.

SEEDS WHOOSHING

It's like a propeller.
