What the Baby Moles Could Smell

Papa mole, mamma mole and their two baby moles were in their tunnel beneath the grocery store.

Papa mole stopped, sniffed, and said, “Oooh, we’re underneath the sugar now.” A little later he stopped, sniffed, and said, “Oooh, we’re underneath the honey now.” A little more time passed and papa mole stopped, sniffed, and said, “Oooh, we’re underneath the maple syrup now.”

After the moles got home, the two baby moles asked mamma mole whether she was able to smell the sugar, honey, and maple syrup. She said, “Not as well as your papa, but yes. Couldn’t you two smell them?”

The baby moles looked at each other and one spoke up, “To be honest, all we could smell was molasses.”
