There is a certain kind of mole who, having left a big pile of dirt in the middle of your lawn, starts to worry about who is going to clean that up. Maurice was just such a mole, and he decided to take matters into his own hands, which were covered in dirt. So he dug a small trench into the pile, to get some dirt out of the way, and was then able to put his hands on the sides of the pile to hold the pile up. Then he dug another small trench. And another. And another.
You'd think that this process of digging one trench and then holding the pile up with his hands would have been a little tedious, but the results were startling.
When the pile was finally cleaned up, it had spread into the house. The floors and counters were covered. It had spread into the sinks and toilet bowls. Clumps of dirt had taken hold on the kitchen counter and grown right into a carrot, as well as taking over the kitchen drain. Piles of dirt were everywhere, in the bathroom, in the bathtub, in the sink, on the kitchen counter, inside the refrigerator. When he stood in the kitchen, he was surrounded on all sides by dirt.
Maurice had created the ultimate pile of dirt. It filled every available space. It was an organic invasion.
"Well," he said, surveying his handy work, "I did it."
