Tom is a restless boy. He likes to run and jump and play. He does not like to sit still and listen. One day, he goes to the farm with his mom and dad. He sees many animals there. He sees cows and pigs and chickens and horses.
He runs to the horses and wants to touch them. His mom says, "Be careful, Tom. Horses are big and strong. You have to be gentle and quiet with them." Tom nods, but he does not listen. He tries to pull the horse's tail and mane. The horse does not like that. It neighs and kicks and shakes its head.
Tom gets scared and runs away. He sees a goat with a big horn. He thinks the horn is funny and shiny. He wants to touch it. He runs to the goat and reaches for its horn. The goat does not like that. It bleats and butts and lowers its head.
Tom gets scared and runs away. He sees a duck with a big beak. He thinks the beak is cute and yellow. He wants to touch it. He runs to the duck and grabs its beak. The duck does not like that. It quacks and bites and flaps its wings.
Tom gets scared and runs away. He cries and looks for his mom and dad. He sees them by the fence. They are talking to a farmer. The farmer has a dog with him. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tongue and a wagging tail. It sees Tom and runs to him. It licks his face and wags its tail. It offers him a ball to play with.
Tom stops crying and smiles. He likes the dog. He takes the ball and throws it. The dog runs after it and brings it back. They play together for a long time. Tom is happy and calm. He forgets about the horses and the goat and the duck. He listens to his mom and dad and the farmer. He learns about the farm and the animals. He says thank you and goodbye to the dog and the farmer. He goes home with his mom and dad. He is tired and sleepy. He has a good nap. He dreams of the dog and the ball.
