GENTLE MUSIC

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

lives a little sound collector.

Oh, yes, and his best friend, Mole.

HE CHUCKLES

NARRATOR CHUCKLES What a way to start the day!

Putting in his hearing aids,

the Sound Collector starts to hear the world around him.

WAVE OF SOUND SWELLS

MOLE SIGHS, HE CHUCKLES

Someone's still tired!

So gentle and relaxing.

BIRD HOOTS

Perfect for finishing a morning snooze.

TRAFFIC BLARING

SOUND COLLECTOR YELPS Oops!

That was loud and alarming. And a little annoying.

MOLE SNUFFLES

You're never annoyed for long with Mole about.

Yes, time to collect some sounds.

Maybe make a few, too.

GENTLE MUSIC, WATER GUSHING SOFTLY

BIRD CAWS

Wow. BIRDS CAWS

Now this is tranquil.

A place you can really relax.

SOUND COLLECTOR: Huh? PLAYFUL CHITTERING

Ah! Marvellous.

HIGH-PITCHED HOWLING

ANIMALS ALL CALL AND HOWL

From tranquillity to cacophony.

What a wonderful world of noise.

CACOPHONY CONTINUES

What other different sounds can he find?

PLOP, SKITTER

PLOP, SKITTER

Ah, the gentle lap of a calm sea.

GULLS CRY

Hm. It's never quiet when there's a gull about.

NARRATOR CHUCKLES Noisy bird!

But a marvellous seaside sound.

Where now?

Ah, home.

SOUND COLLECTOR GASPS

Oh! What's he up to?

WIND RUSTLES THE LEAVES

Whoa, such a steep hill!

Big, small, loud, quiet. It's been that kind of a day.

Up we go.

There.

HE SIGHS CONTENTEDLY

Wow.

WIND SIGHS

Listen to that.

What a soundtrack.

Time to join in perhaps.

Ready?

HE SHREDS A SOULFUL TUNE

The soundtrack of his home.

MOLE'S TOY SQUEAKS

Maybe it's not time to play ball, Mole.

She's not giving in.

BALL SQUEAKS UNDERFOOT

SOUND COLLECTOR GIGGLES

OWL HOOTS Ah, yes.

The day can be full of changing sounds.

Some loud, some quiet.

Some big, some small.

FIREWORKS FIZZ AND POP

Some surprising.

See what I mean?
