Plot

Mole's Adventure is about a mole, who is bothered by the sun's light. So, he decides to leave the Earth in a rocket ship. He lands on a strange planet, where he travels over the land on a set of skis. He meets and is bothered by the planet's weird creatures, which live above & below the planet's soil. After using a flashlight to make the creatures scatter, he is then hit by the sun's rays again, causing him to fall off the planet. While falling, the mole wakes up, realizing it was all just a dream.
