The Rabbit

August 7, 1956.

Made an effort to be more positive today. Ate nine earthworms for breakfast, then climbed out of my tunnel and sniffed the warm air in the Land of the Sky. Went back into my tunnel only to find a large rabbit reading my diary. I said, "what do you think?" "You really are one miserable mole," replied the rabbit. The rabbit then left. I was quite happy with my first literary review.
Ate four earthworms for lunch, and then decided to tidy up, so moved dirt from one place to another place. Two earthworms for tea. Bed.

Why Was I Born A Mole?

August 6, 1956.

Woke up early this morning. Ate an earthworm more out of habit than appetite. Made six hills in a garden which made me feel a bit better about life. Ate three more earthworms, had an afternoon nap followed by tucking into two more earthworms. I'm not sure Moles can be depressed, so maybe I'm just feeling a bit lonely. Going to bed now.

The Mole Diary Discovery

I found this diary left by the side of a Mole Hill in my garden.

First entry: August 2, 1956.

I'm only 9 months old and I'm already fed up with dirt. I have spent today underground covered in dirt. Bumped into another mole by mistake, and wrote the first entry in my diary.

August 3, 1956.

I ate three large earthworms for breakfast, four for lunch, and five for my tea.

August 4, 1956.

I made love for the first time today with what I'm hoping was another mole. Had seven earthworms for tea.

August 5, 1956.

Almost had my head caved in by a monstrous creature who lives where the sky is. Spent rest of the day wondering about the meaning of life. One earthworm for tea, not very hungry, and sick of earthworms.
