Looking around a farm

 
 
It's Sunday, the day after the house-warming party. Andreas and Maria are taking Anna, Pedro, Michael and Josh to a farm outside Filton. When they arrive, the farmer's wife is just entering the hen house. They follow her.
 
Farmer's wife:
 
Hi, can I help you?
 
Andreas:
 
Hi, could we have a look around?
 
Farmer's wife:
 
Of course! Just a minute, I'm just feeding the hens and collecting their eggs. Then I can show you around.
 
 
 
While they are waiting, they look around and see horses running in the fields.
 
Anna:
 
Do you have any baby horses?
 
Farmer's wife:
 
A baby horse is called a foal. But no, we don't have any foals yet. But we do have some lambs.
 
 
 
They walk across the farmyard. Two dogs are following them.
 
Maria:
 
I love dogs! Do you also have any cats?
 
Farmer's wife:
 
Yes, we do. They are probably playing in the hay right now.
 
 
 
The group arrives at the sheep.
 
Maria:
 
They are so cute! And look, there's a cat hiding behind the fence! How cute!
 
Farmer's wife:
 
Yes, that one is very shy. Do you want to go to the horses now? I think my husband is feeding them. Maybe you can help him.
 
 
 
They meet the farmer. He gives the kids some carrots so they can feed the horses.
 
Farmer:
 
You are doing a great job! Why don't you come back and try horseback riding some day!
 
 
 
They promise to come back soon.
