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

lives a little Sound Collector.

Oh, yes, and his best friend, Mole.

SNORES AND GROANS

Mmm. Nothing like a little lie-in.

MOLE COOS

And that's nothing like a little lie-in.

NARRATOR LAUGHS, SOUND COLLECTOR YAWNS

Putting in his hearing aids,

the Sound Collector starts to hear the world around him.

WAVE OF SOUND SWELLS

DISTANT RUMMAGING Hm?

What an interesting and faintly annoying sound.
