Sara Visits the Farm

Sara and Dad drive to a farm. Sara looks out the window. She is excited.

They walk through a gate. A big brown animal stands near the fence. It has black spots. Sara says, "What is this?"

"It is a cow," Dad says. The cow looks at Sara and chews slowly. Sara watches it for a while.

"Hello, cow," Sara says quietly.

They walk a little further. Sara sees small animals walking near her feet. She says, "What is this?"

"They are chickens," Dad says. Sara counts them. "One, two, three, four chickens," she says. One chicken has a red top on its head.

A farmer stands nearby with a basket. "Would you like to feed the chickens?" he asks.

"Yes, please!" Sara says. She takes some seeds and throws them on the ground. The chickens come close and eat.

Sara walks toward a soft white animal in the grass. She says, "What is this?"

"It is a sheep," Dad says. Sara touches its wool gently.

"It's so soft," Sara says. "Like a cloud."

Near the fence, a tall animal with a long face waits quietly. Sara says, "What is this?"

"It is a horse," the farmer says. "Would you like to give it an apple?"

Sara holds an apple flat on her hand. The horse takes it gently.

"That tickles!" Sara laughs.

Dad points to a pink animal rolling in the mud. Sara says, "What is this?"

"It is a pig," Dad says. "Pigs roll in the mud to stay cool."

Sara watches it roll happily. "That looks fun," she says.

Before they leave, Sara walks past each animal one more time. She waves at the cow. She waves at the chickens. She waves at the sheep, the horse, and the pig.

"I love the farm," Sara says. "I want to come back soon."

See you next time, Sara!
