[Thomas]
2
Aww... slugs again!
3
[Samuel the Narrator]
4
Yes, there were the slugs. Babies, mothers, and grandmothers, besides enormous great fat slugs, all eating away at the juicy leaves.
5
[Mother]
6
Oh Thomas, let's set some traps--some slug traps--and catch them all.
7
[Samuel the Narrator]
8
Did those slugs walk into the traps? No, not one. They just laughed their slimy laugh...
9
[Slugs]
10
Huh-huh, huh-huh...
11
[Samuel the Narrator]
12
... and went on eating the juicy lettuces.
13
[Mother]
14
Oh deary me, what shall we do? There'll be no lettuce left when little Tim comes home.
15
[Thomas]
16
I know! I've got a good idea. I'll shoot those varmints!
17
[Mother]
18
Thomas!
19
[Thomas]
20
I will! I'll shoot them!
21
[Samuel the Narrator]
22
Thomas crept very carefully up the lettuce patch and fired his little gun. [POP! POP!] But did the slugs mind?
23
[Slugs]
24
Huh-huh...
25
[Samuel the Narrator]
26
No, not they. They laughed more than ever in their slimy way.
27
[Slugs]
28
Huh-huh, huh-huh...
29
[Samuel the Narrator]
30
And they ate up all the peas, and then they turned about and went on eating the lettuces.
31
[Mother]
32
Thomas, how are you getting on? We shan't have any lettuce when little Tim comes home.
33
[Samuel the Narrator]
34
They hopped sadly down along the passage into the kitchen of their house... and then Mariah had arrived. [ZAP!]
35
[Interlude]
36
[Slugs]
37
(Squealing.)
38
[Samuel the Narrator]
39
The greedy slugs raised their heads to listen. They waved their bodies joyously, and laughed their slimy laugh.
40
[Slugs]
41
Huh-huh! Hear the sweet music at our feast. Hear the sweet music while we eat.
42
[Samuel the Narrator]
43
And then they laughed again happily in their slimy way...
44
[Slugs]
45
Huh-huh, huh-huh...
46
[Samuel the Narrator]
47
... and went on eating lettuces.
48
[Interlude]
49
[Slugs]
50
Huh-huh...
51
[Mother]
52
There won't be even a nibble of lettuce when our little Tim comes home! (Sniffles.)
53
[Samuel the Narrator]
54
Suddenly, a voice called out, and out rushed Tim, hopping and skipping and turning somersaults as he came towards his father and mother.
55
[Tim]
56
Hello, hello! I brought a friend! Oh... what's the matter?
57
[Samuel the Narrator]
58
The slugs are eating all the lettuce, Tim.
59
[Tim]
60
Oh hey there, Samuel! My friend Brush has just been wondering if you'll have meat for supper. Why is it we only had lettuces, didn't I, Brush?
61
[Brush]
62
Ask Tim! I, uh, think I can help you... if you allow me, sir. Just watch me! (Starts whistling.)
63
[Samuel the Narrator]
64
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. Mariah and Thomas stood and watched in wonder at his huge appetite.
65
[Thomas]
66
Ho-ho-ho-hooo! Come and have supper with us whenever you like, Mr. Brush.
67
[Tim]
68
Oh, he will. Mr. Brush!
69
[Thomas]
70
Yes! Get in.
71
[Brush]
72
(Whistles.)
