NARRATOR: Around and along,

in the middle of somewhere,

lives a little Sound Collector.

SIGHS

Oh, yes, and his best friend, Mole.

With his hearing aids in,

the Sound Collector starts to hear the world around him.

WAVE OF SOUND SWELLS

DISTANT THUDDING

Hm. Sounds like someone is at the door.

THUDDING CONTINUES

Yes! Maybe it's a friend. The Seed Collector, perhaps?

Oh. Hello?

SWITCH CLICKS

VOLUME INTENSIFIES

Listen to that. BIRDS CHIRP

WATER RUSHES So many sounds.

But no sign of who knocked at the door.

They must have left.

THUDDING

MOLE GRUNTS Hm?

Ah, Mole, it's you!

SNIFFS, GRUNTS

Come on in.

RAPID KNOCKING IN DISTANCE

MOLE GRUNTS

I think she wants him to open the nut for her.

MOLE SNIFFS

SOUND COLLECTOR GRUNTS

That's one tough nut to crack.

DISTANT KNOCKING Oh!

KNOCKING CONTINUES

There it is again. MOLE SNIFFS

Hm. Still no-one there.

DISTANT KNOCKING It's coming from down the lane.

MOLE GRUNTS

See you later. MOLE GRUNTS

BIRD CHIRPS, RAPID KNOCKING

I think he's found something.

CAWS

Not quite the same sound, but a good one, all the same.

MAGPIE CHATTERS

Maybe it's gone away.

RAPID KNOCKING No, there it is!

CHITTERING, TAPPING

And it's louder! He must be getting closer.

CHITTERING

NARRATOR CHUCKLES

I didn't know red squirrels made that noise.

BUTTON CLICKS Yes. Another good sound.

But not the one he's looking for.

BIRDS CHIRP

RAPID KNOCKING, CHIRPING

STOMACH GRUMBLES

What was that? LAUGHS

Of course! He hasn't had any breakfast yet.

RAPID KNOCKING Ah!

It's coming from... up there!

RAPID KNOCKING

TAPPING ON TREE

So THAT'S what was knocking. A woodpecker!

Amazing.

BUTTON CLICKS Yes, time for breakfast.

MOLE GRUNTS

Looks like Mole needs her breakfast, too.

GRUMBLES

Hello. Someone has an idea.

THUD, SAW TWANGS

Well, he's building something.

SCRAPE, TAPPING

WHIRR, SQUELCH

HAMMER TAPS

SOUND COLLECTOR HUMS

GRUNTS

It looks like a woodpecker.

TWANGING I wonder what it's for.

Uh-oh.

Patience, Mole.

TWANGING How nifty!

I have a feeling you're going to love this.
