Disaster!

Daddy Wop is very worried – very, very worried. Actually all the Wops are worried. Something terrible has happened!

It has been raining very hard in the forest. So much that Mr Mole’s underground train tunnel has flooded! Something like this has never happened before. Even the Wise Old Owl cannot remember such heavy rains ever falling in the forests. Now the Wops are desperate! You see, they cannot move out of the forest because the underground tunnels are flooded. They can’t reach the shops! Some Wops haven’t been to the shops for two weeks! Their food supply is very low. The Wops must have a new tunnel. They must have a new tunnel immediately, but how will they manage this?

The Wise Old Owl has asked everyone in the forest to come and help dig a new tunnel, but there are too few moles and the tunnel must be a long one, a strong one, a sturdy one and it must be dug quickly. Willy and all the other Wops help, but they are not used to building tunnels and they get tired very quickly. How on earth are they going to manage? Who will come and help the Wops?

(To be continued)

  • What do you think? Who will help the Wops build a new tunnel? (Get as many suggestions as possible – Listen to the reasons they give.)
