GENTLE MUSIC

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

lives a little sound collector.

NARRATOR CHUCKLES Oh, 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

TOY SQUEAKS She just loves that squeaky bone.

RAIN DRUMS AGAINST THE GLASS

RAIN CASCADES

WAVE OF SOUND SWELLS

Ah. The rat-a-tat-tat of rain. A lovely sound.

WHEEL CLANKS

Listen.

RAIN PATTERS, DISTANT THUNDER RUMBLES

The sounds of a rainy day.

PLOP

Hm. Mole's not a fan.

MOLE SNORES SOFTLY, MURMURS IN HER SLEEP

Cosy day inside it is, then.

PATTERING OF RAIN Such a lovely sound to record.

MOLE MUTTERS

NARRATOR CHUCKLES Oh, there's another one.

MOLE SNUFFLES AND GRUNTS SOFTLY

Ah, Mole. Being bored.

Maybe it's time to un-bore her.

SWITCH CLICKS, CASSETTE WHIRRS

PLAYFUL MUSIC

NARRATOR CHUCKLES

That's got her going!

So, what's next?

MOLE SNUFFLES HAPPILY

A-ha! A mole on the move.

Whoa!

NARRATOR CHUCKLES

MOLE PURRS Aw, that's better.

Er...

What's she doing up there?

OK...

What is he up to?

Well, if it involves food, Mole is more than happy to play along.

SOUND COLLECTOR CHUCKLES

I did not see that coming. SWITCH CLICKS

GULLS CRYING, WAVES LAPPING

It's like they're on a boat. FAN WHOOSHES

With the wind to fill their sails.

SWITCH CLICKS

From a breeze... to a gale. WIND RUSHES

Ha-ha! Now they're flying! On a magic carpet ride.

High above the ground.

SWITCH CLICKS

Ah, the sounds of the world below.

COWS MOO, TRAFFIC HUMS

MOLE SNUFFLES PLAYFULLY

SHEEP BLEAT, WIND WHOOSHES

GULLS CRY

After a high-flying adventure, what better than a hearty meal?

MOLE SNIFFS EXCITEDLY

SOUND COLLECTOR CHUCKLES

HE GASPS

Oh, look! A rainbow.

MOLE GRUNTS

The rain has gone.

Uh-oh! SOUND COLLECTOR YELPS

THUD

HE LAUGHS Oops.

Lucky that cow broke his fall!

MOLE GRUNTS EXCITEDLY Time for another adventure.

WIND WHISPERS THROUGH THE TREES

And time to collect some sounds.
