1
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: This story is about a little mouse who sets off

2
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: to find the moon, for he has been told it

3
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: is made of green cheese. Willie Mouse. Willie Mouse had

4
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: often heard his Ma and Pa say that the moon

5
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: was made of green cheese, and one evening he thought

6
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: he would see if he could find it. He packed

7
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: up a piece of cheese and a crust of bread, and,

8
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: taking his lantern, set out on his travels. He had

9
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: not gone far when he met his friend mister Woodmouse,

10
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: who asked him.

11
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: Where he was going.

12
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: Oh, said Willie, I'm going to find the moon. It's

13
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: made of green cheese. You know. I don't believe it's

14
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: made of green cheese at all, said mister Woodmouse. But

15
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: Willie wouldn't listen to him and went on his way,

16
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: coming round by clover Green. Whom should he meet but

17
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: miss Jenny Wren, looking very lovely in her yellow bonnet.

18
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: Where are you off to? She asked, I'm on my

19
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: way to find the moon the moon, cried Miss Wren.

20
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: You'll never reach it. I flew ever so high one evening,

21
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: and it didn't seem to get anywhere nearer. Well, said Willie,

22
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Why should it be made of green cheese? If you

23
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: can't reach it, And on he went. Presently he came

24
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: up to a wood, and looking up, he saw mister

25
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: squirrel jumping from branch to branch. Good afternoon, he said,

26
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: you do seem high up. Surely you can.

27
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: Tell me the way to the moon.

28
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: It's made of green cheese.

29
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: You know.

30
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it's made of green cheese. Why shouldn't

31
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: it be made of nuts. How strange everybody is, said

32
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: Willie Mouse to himself. So on he went once more

33
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: until he came to a little hole in the ground, and,

34
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: being very curious, he peeped inside. There sat missus Mole,

35
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: who came out when she saw him. Do you live

36
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: down there, asked Willie politely, Yes, replied missus Mole. Then

37
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: I'm afraid you can't tell me how to get to

38
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: the moon. It's made of green cheese, you know.

39
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: Ma says, so.

40
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: Nonsense, my child. Don't waste your time looking for the moon.

41
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: Keep your eyes open for worms. Willie said goodbye to

42
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: missus Mole. Then he sat down and opened his pack

43
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: because it was getting late, and he thought he had

44
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: better have some dinner. I may not reach the moon

45
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: for a while, he thought, so I had better save

46
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: a little piece of cheese for supper. After dinner, he

47
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: fell asleep, and on waking he found that it was

48
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: quite dark. He looked up and there was the moon,

49
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: right high up in the sky. Oh, mister moon, he cried,

50
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: you do seem a long way away. I think it

51
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: would be much easier for you to come down here

52
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: than for me to get up there. But mister Moon

53
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: stayed where he was. Looking up, Willie Mouse saw two

54
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: big eyes gleaming in the dark. They belonged to Missus Owl.

55
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: And as Willie was only a little mouse, he didn't

56
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: know that Missus Owl had a special liking for little mice. Please,

57
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: Missus Owl, he said, how can I get to the moon?

58
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,559
Speaker 1: Down flew Missus Owl. This is the way to the moon,

59
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: she said, and she caught him up in her beak

60
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: and carried him back to the owl house where she lived.

61
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: When Willie Mouse saw all the owlets with their beaks

62
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: gaping open, he began to be frightened, for he feared

63
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: that Missus Owl was going to give him to the owlets.

64
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: But he didn't know that a good green elf who

65
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: lived in the trunk of the tree was near at hand,

66
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: and just as Missus Owl opened her beak, the leaves rustled,

67
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: and there stood mister Elf, who grabbed Willie and jumped

68
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: to the ground with him on his back. When the

69
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: good green Elf had shown him the way home, he

70
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: thought he would ask him if the moon were really

71
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: made of green cheese. But all of a sudden mister

72
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: Elf disappeared, And Willie Mouse still thinks that one day

73
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: he will find the moon and have enough cheese to

74
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: last him all his life. But he will wait until

75
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: he is a little older and bigger before he tries

76
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: to jump to the moon, and perhaps by that time

77
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: he may be wiser too.

78
00:06:10,200 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: Good Night, sleep tight, do.

79
00:07:12,960 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: De do do they? He si strag
