A visit to the farm |
|
Farmer's wife: |
Hi, can I help you? |
Pedro: |
Hi, could we have a look around the farm, please? |
Farmer's wife: |
Of course! Just a minute, I'm just feeding the chickens and collecting the hens’ eggs. Then I can show you around. |
Anna: |
Oh, look, I see horses running in the fields! Are they yours? And do you have any foals? |
Farmer's wife: |
Yes, they are ours. We’ve got six in total. We don't have any foals yet though. But we do have a few lambs and quite a lot of calves. Oh, and we’ve got six kids. |
Anna: |
Six! That’s a big family. I’ve only got one little brother. |
Farmer’s wife: |
Oh, no, I don’t mean kids as in children! We do have children, but they’re all grown up and living on their own. No, I mean baby goats! |
Anna: |
Oh, silly me! I’m sorry. |
Farmer’s wife: |
No need to apologise. Come on, let’s go to the other side of the farmyard. |
Maria: |
Oh, look, there are two dogs following us. I love dogs! Do you also have cats? |
Farmer's wife: |
Yes, we do. They are probably playing in the hay right now. Or looking for mice, that's their job. Look, there are the sheep. Do you see the lambs? |
Maria: |
Yes, they are so sweet! And look, is that a cat hiding behind the fence? How cute! |
Farmer's wife: |
Yes, that one is very shy. Don't try to pet her, she scratches sometimes. Do you want to go see the horses now? I think my husband is feeding them. Maybe you can help him. |
Farmer: |
Hi kids! Good to see you. Do you want to give the horses a treat? |
Pedro: |
Yes please! Are those carrots? |
Farmer: |
Yes, they love carrots. See? You are doing a great job! Why don't you come back and try horseback riding some day! |
Pedro: |
We’d love to, thanks! We’ll come back soon, we promise! |
