In Annie's quiet kitchen, just after sunset, something unusual was happening. As Mum and Dad went to read a story to their little sister, the cups on the shelf began to whisper quietly. Porcelain Philip looked at the green Pea Mug with a smiling face and whispered: - Pea, it's time! Peas trembled with excitement. - Really? Is today THE day? Suddenly the dotty mug, Mrs Dot, eagerly shook her ear. - 'Quick, let's get in a row! When everyone is asleep, I'll tell you the big secret hidden at the bottom of the cupboard. All the cups clattered slowly, tapped quietly and lined up in a row, very excitedly. Even old Chlupcio, who always yawns, was full of energy this time. Then the kitchen light went out. The mugs froze. What will they see when they open their ears to the mystery of Mrs. Dotty? What hides the bottom of the cupboard?
