Slug Dub |
| Thomas: Ahh! |
| Slugs again! |
| Narrator: Yes, there were the slugs: babies, mothers and grandmothers, |
| besides enormous fat great-grandmother slugs, all eating away |
| at the juicy green leaves. |
| Maria: Oh Thomas, we must set some traps, some slug traps, and catch |
| them all. |
| Narrator: Did those slugs walk into the traps? |
| No. Not one. |
| They |
| just laughed their slimy laughs … |
| Slugs: Hur hur, hur hur, hur hur, hur hur! |
| Narrator: … and went on eating the juicy lettuces. |
| Maria: Oh dearie me, what shall we do? |
| There’ll be no lettuce left |
| when little Tim comes home. |
| Thomas: I know, I’ve got a good idea. |
| I’ll shoot those varmints! |
| Maria: Thomas! |
| Thomas: I will! |
| I’ll shoot 'em. |
| Narrator: Thomas crept very carefully up to the lettuce and fired his |
| little gun. |
| Thomas: |
| Narrator: But did the slugs mind? |
| Slugs: Hur hur! |
| Narrator: No, not they. |
| They laughed more than ever in their slimy way … |
| Slugs: Hur hur, hur hur, hur hur hur! |
| Narrator: … and they ate up all the peas, and then they turned about |
| and went on eating the lettuces. |
| Maria: Thomas, how are you getting on? |
| We shan’t have any lettuce |
| left when Tim comes home! |
| Narrator: They hopped sadly down the long passage into the kitchen of their house. |
| And then Maria had an idea … |
| Narrator: The greedy slugs raised their heads to listen. |
| They waved |
| their fat bodies joyously and laughed their slimy laugh. |
| Slugs: Hur hur hur hur! |
| Here is sweet music at our feast. |
| Here is sweet music while we eat. |
| Narrator: And then they laughed again happily in their slimy way … |
| Slugs: Hur hur hur hur hur hur hur hur! |
| Narrator: … and went on eating lettuce leaves. |
| Slugs: Hur hur hur! |
| Maria: There won’t be even a nibble of lettuce when our |
| little Tim comes home. |
| Narrator: Suddenly a voice called out, and up rushed Tim, hopping and |
| skipping and turning somersaults as he came towards his |
| father and mother. |
| Tim: Hello, hello! |
| I’ve brought a friend to see you. |
| Ooh — but what’s |
| the matter? |
| Maria: |
| Thomas: The slugs are eating all the lettuce, Tim. |
| Tim: Oh, is that all? |
| My friend Thrush has just been wondering if you’d have |
| meat |
| for supper, and I said we only had lettuces, didn’t I Thrush? |
| Mr Thrush: Yes, Tim. |
| I think I can help you. |
| If you’d allow me, sir. |
| Just watch me. |
| Narrator: He gobbled up the slugs faster than you could count — baby |
| slugs, mother slugs, grandmother and great-grandmother slugs |
| — before they had time to take to their slimy heels. |
| Maria |
| and Thomas stood and watched in wonder at his huge appetite. |
| Thomas: Ho ho ho ho ho! |
| Come and have supper with us whenever you |
| like, Mr Thrush! |
| Tim: You’ll always be welcome, Mr Thrush. |
| Thomas: Yes indeed! |
| Mr Thrush: |
