GENTLE MUSIC

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

lives a little sound collector.

NARRATOR CHUCKLES Ah, yes. And his best friend, Mole.

Early morning. Too early to rise.

DULL CLATTERING Well, for some.

What's wrong with Mole? Has she heard something?

Something he hasn't heard!

Ah, because he hasn't got his hearing aids in yet.

MOLE SKITTERS DOWN THE STAIRS

SHE SNIFFS Hm.

What's happened?

Have they had a party?

CURIOUS SNIFFING

Hm. This must have happened when they were sleeping.

SHE SNIFFS AND GRUNTS

MOLE YELPS, NARRATOR GASPS

What is it? GUITAR CLATTERS

Oops!

Yes, that's right, Mole. You'd better get the Sound Collector.

Oh, he's still...

HE GASPS ..asleep.

NARRATOR CHUCKLES Easy, Mole.

Putting in his hearing aids,

the Sound Collector starts to hear the world around him.

WAVE OF SOUND SWELLS

MOLE SNUFFLES IMPATIENTLY

SHE GRUNTS URGENTLY

Yes! She wants him to follow her.

What a mess!

SOUND COLLECTOR MURMURS

Hm. Poor Mole.

I think the Sound Collector thinks she made the mess.

Mind you, it's not like Mole hasn't trashed the kitchen before.

HE SIPS There. Like it never happened.

But I think Mole still wants to find out who done it.

HE YAWNS

Yes, I don't blame him. It's still so early.

MOLE SNUFFLES

Maybe just forget about it, hey?

HE SIPS Ah, that's more like it.

LOUD CLATTER There's that sound again.

MOLE GRUNTS

The Sound Collector heard it this time.

HE GASPS What's going on?

It can't have been Mole, she was in the bedroom.

Ah, now to search for the noisy visitor.

WAVE OF SOUND SWELLS

WATER PLOPS

That needs fixing. MOLE SNUFFLES

A-ha! Well, I guess it's nearly time for breakfast.

Hm. A clue.

SKITTERING Yes, follow that sound.

Oh, look! A mouse loose in the house.

Well, that was a surprise.

SNIFFING

She looks so big in the Sound Collector's house.

MOUSE SQUEAKS

MOLE SNUFFLES CURIOUSLY

Oh, I get it!

MOUSE SQUEAKS SOFTLY

SNIFFING

HE RUSTLES THE CEREAL

MOUSE SQUEAKS

MOLE SNIFFS HUNGRILY

No, this isn't for you, Mole.

MOUSE SQUEAKS

It's a little food trail for the mouse.

MOUSE SNIFFS INQUISITIVELY

There.

NARRATOR CHUCKLES

There's no mouse loose in the house any more.

Yes, let's lock the mole flap, just for a while.

Bye, Mouse!

Mole can get into all kinds of mischief.

But today, she was totally innocent.

Well done, Mole. THUD
