A visit to the 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.
