A visit to the farm
Pedro, Anna and Maria are visiting a farm outside Filton. When they arrive, the farmer's wife is just going into the hen house. They follow her.

Farmer's wife:

Hi, can I help you?

Pedro:  

Hi, could we have a look around?

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! 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 some of the sheep have lambs, and many of our cows have got calves. 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.  Look, there are the sheep. Do you see the lambs?

Maria:  

Yes, they are so sweet! 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.

Farmer:

Hi kids! 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!
