What Is Everyone Saying?

Little Thunder wanted to talk to every animal on the farm.

"Then you need to watch, not just listen," said Suzy. "Animals talk with their bodies too."

First they visited the hens. One hen fluffed up her feathers and clucked loudly.

"She's upset," said Spike. "Let's give her space."

Next they passed the beehives. The bees buzzed louder and louder.

"That buzz means stay back," said Suzy. "We walk away slowly and calmly."

At the goat pen, a little goat trotted over with a happy bleat and a wiggly tail.

"She's friendly!" laughed Little Thunder.

Then they reached the cattle. Canberra the cow had her ears up and her head still.

"She's watching us," said Spike. "Never walk behind a cow. Stay where she can see you."

Canberra gave a soft, gentle moo.

"That means hello," said Suzy.

Little Thunder mooed back. "Hello, Canberra!"

"You're learning fast," said Spike. "Watch, listen, and always be safe."

Little Thunder grinned. "Now I can speak Farm Animal!"
