The One about Moles

A family of moles hibernated all winter.

One beautiful spring morning, they woke up. The father mole stuck his head out of the hole and looked around.

"Mother Mole!" he called back down into the hole. "Come up here! I smell honey, sweet honey!" 

Mother Mole ran up and squeezed in next to Father Mole. "You're wrong," she cried, "It's maple syrup! How sweet! It smells wonderful!"

The baby mole, still down in the hole, sulked. He said, "All I can smell down here is molasses."
