The Wind in the Willows - Chapter 1 - The River Bank

Storytime with Alan

The Mole leaves his spring cleaning to explore the world above. He meets the Water Rat and the two set off for a leisurely row down the river. The two animals stop to enjoy their picnic and Mole has a first meeting with Otter and Badger and a first sighting of Toad, who is also out on the river. When they resume Mole grows a little jealous of the Rat and decides he would like to have a go at rowing...with disastrous consequences.
They return to Water Rat's home and Mole goes to sleep listening to his new friend - the river - lapping at the sill of his window.
