📜 Story: Farm Animals
On the farm 🏡, there are many wonderful animals 🐾!
The cow 🐄 is big and has smooth brown and white spots. It gives fresh, tasty milk 🥛 that we can drink.
The chicken 🐔 clucks and lays eggs 🥚 every day. The eggs are used to make yummy breakfasts 🥧.
The horse 🐎 is strong and runs very fast across the fields. It neighs and loves to gallop 🏇.
A fluffy sheep 🐑 is covered in wool, which keeps it warm. Farmers use the wool to make soft sweaters.
Pigs 🐖 roll in the mud to stay cool on hot days 🔥. They make funny sounds, like oinks and grunts.
Ducks 🦆 waddle and splash 🌊 in the pond, quacking happily as they swim.
Goats 🐐 love to jump and climb on rocks 🧱 and fences. They are playful and like to nibble on grass.
The farm dog 🐕 watches over all the animals and barks 📢 to protect them.
Geese are noisy and honk 🗢 when they walk together. They keep the farm lively and fun 💫!
Living on a farm means being surrounded by all these amazing animals 🐾 that each have something special to share 🌟. It’s great to see how they live and what they do every day 📊!
