Mums usually know best

Every day, Minnie the Mole shuffled along behind her mum digging tunnels in the dark, sniffing for worms. It was so-o-o boring. "Mum, why can't I go above ground and have a bit of fun?" she kept on saying. "Because moles live in the dark and can't see anything dear," said her mum. "But I can see, I can, I can," wailed Minnie, stamping her paws. That night , Minnie waited till her mum was asleep. Then she crept up the tunnel and stuck her head above the ground. She couldn't see the cat waiting. Next day, her mum had to dig the tunnels all alone.
