Looking around a 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. |

| Hi, could we have a look around? |
| 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. |
| Do you have any baby horses? |
| 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. |
| I love dogs! Do you also have any cats? |
| Yes, we do. They are probably playing in the hay right now. |
| The group arrives at the sheep. |
| They are so cute! And look, there's a cat hiding behind the fence! How cute! |
| 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. |
| You are doing a great job! Why don't you come back and try horseback riding some day! |
| They promise to come back soon. |
