Atchoo! Molly the Mole has a terrible cold — what she needs is some good clean mountain air to clear her bunged-up chest. Her rabbit friends come up with a fantastic idea. Molly has just finished reading them the famous story of Odysseus who escaped from the Cyclops by hanging on to the fleece of a ram. They think Molly should travel up the mountain hanging on to a sheep when the shepherd takes his stock to higher pastures! But things don’t go to plan when Molly’s constant chatting attracts the attention of the shepherds. They’re amazed that one of their sheep can talk, so they sell it to a passing showman. And overnight, Molly lands herself the role of a top circus act!
