Pokey, the turtle and Warts, the frog...had also come to visit and feast on the food. "How lucky we are", said Pinky. Ms Farmer stood and watched, as she smoothed her apron with her hand, thinking how much she had enjoyed her thankful friends.
Today was the day, Sparky the rooster was going to show the ducks, Dilly and Willy around the ranch. First he brought Dilly and Willy to the farmhouse and explained about Ms Farmer,throwing scraps of her great cooking to all her friends. Dilly and Willy ate some of the scraps and "quaked and quaked" about how good they tasted. Sparky knew they would come back again.
Sparky then took Dilly and Willy to meet Pokey, the turtle and Warts, the frog. Also he introduced them to Lovey and Dovey, the doves. They did not meet Mutt, the dog and Flip, the cat; they were in the farmhouse still sleeping, snoring away. Bushy, the squirrel was asleep in the big oak tree, sometimes Bushy was lazy and slept late.
Dilly and Willy had already met Pinky, the pig and Hoppy, the rabbit.
So Sparky said "come on guys, we will go further down on the ranch. I will take you to the stables, where the larger farm animals are kept...
Con't...
