A mole's patience is rewarded at last

At first, the mystery just deepened as we followed Mr Duckington's instructions and went to the hardware store. We handed the note to shopkeeper along with the money we'd been given, and in return, we were given a large box. We raced home to see what was in it. You should have seen the mixture of amazement and disappointment on the little mole's face when out came a small shiny bin! As he was staring at this bizarre item, I looked inside the box and saw that there was another smaller container and a little book of instructions. I opened the book and read out aloud "Turn your waste into valuable garden compost with the aid of our easy to use Wormery". At the mention of that last word the mole immediately perked up and got very excited. "Read the rest! Read the rest!" he squeaked. So I carried on and we read all the instructions. All you have to do is put left over lettuce leaves and such stuff in the bin in layers and then add the contents of the other box - some special, very hungry worms! Then sit back and wait and the worms will multiply, eat all the waste and create quality compost for the garden. All this seemed foolproof apart from the word "wait". Needless to say we now have an empty box and a very happy mole. We had to trundle straight back to the shop to buy some more worms, but he's the happiest little mole you've ever seen now, bouncing along singing his favourite Girls Aloud song. Can you guess what it is?
