Moles in Love CBeebies Bedtime Stories

.

Cbeebies bedtime story.

Ooh, ah!

Oh, what big paws you have, Moley!

Oh!

Oh, my goodness! What a big NOSE you have!

And what big eyes you have!

Hello, I'm Sheila.

I was just looking at Moley the Mole with my magnifying glass.

When you look through it, it makes things look REALLY big.

Like Moley's eyes.

I've got a bedtime story about a mole who can't see things very well.

The story is called Mole's In Love,

by David Bedford and Rosalind Beardshaw.

One bright day,

Morris the Mole peeped out of his hole to find that it was spring.

"Yippee!", said Morris.

Then he hopped down from his hill and went off to find someone to love.

Morris peered around the farmyard.

Moles don't see very well.

But Morris did not think it would be hard to find someone to love

because he knew just what to look for.

Shiny black fur, luscious shiny black fur!

Morris hugged the luscious shiny black fur. He was in LOVE!

Morris blew his love a kiss,

but when the luscious shiny black fur blew him a kiss back

Morris was blown off his feet!

NEIGHING He landed in a pile of leaves,

but nobody came to see if he was all right.

"Ouch!", Morris said to himself, feeling glum.

Then Morris smelled the first new flowers of spring.

"Yippee!", he said and skipped out of the leaves

and went off to find someone else to love.

A pink nose, pretty pink nose.

Morris hugged the pretty pink nose for he was in LOVE!

Morris rubbed noses.

But when the pretty pink nose rubbed back,

Morris was sent rolling away - cold and wet and slimy from head to toes!

SQUEALING He landed in some mud,

but nobody came to see if he was all right.

"Ouch!", Morris said to himself, feeling glum.

Then he heard the happy twitter of birds singing about spring.

"Yippee!", said Morris and he jumped out of the mud

and he went to find someone else to love.

Big wide feet!

GORGEOUS big wide feet!

Morris hugged the gorgeous big wide feet, he was in LOVE!

Morris sat down in the meadow with his love,

but when the gorgeous big wide feet sat down too

Morris was choked and tickled by feathers.

"Achoo! Achoo!", he sneezed, tumbling backwards.

This time he landed on a sharp thistle,

but nobody came to see if he was all right.

"Ouch!", Morris said to himself, feeling glummer than ever.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

And even though he knew it was still spring,

he went back and sat on his molehill.

Morris said to himself, "It is spring and I'm alone, without love."

"Shiny black fur was too rough, pretty pink nose was too wet

"and gorgeous big wide feet made me sneeze.

"I looked for love and I didn't find it."

Suddenly, Morris heard a tiny voice.

It said, "You've not looked hard enough."

And before he could blink someone gave him a present.

The present balanced on his nose and wrapped around his ears.

And when Morris looked through his present he saw very clearly,

luscious shiny black fur, a pretty pink nose,

gorgeous big wide feet and best of all -

twinkly smart spectacles!

"I'm called Minnie," said the tiny voice, as Morris stared at her.

"Are you all right?", she asked.

And Morris said, "Yes, I am!"

Morris hopped down from his hill, but he wasn't looking for love anymore.

Love had already found him.

That story was called Mole's In Love.

So, all Morris the Mole needed was a pair of spectacles.

Well, it's time for you to close your eyes, now,

as it's bedtime and you should be tucked up in bed!

Night-night, sweet dreams.

I wonder where moles sleep?
