In a sleepy farmyard resting under a silver moon, all were quiet. Not a peep, not a whisper—until the squabble began!
Pretend to tiptoe quietly like the animals before the ruckus starts.
An owl named Hoot and a mouse named Squeak shouted over a piece of cheese so sleek. 'Who-who-who dares disturb my rest?' cried Hoot.
Hoot like an owl waking up in the middle of the night.
'Squeak-squeak, it's mine!' insisted cheeky Squeak with a pip-squeak grin.
Squeak and point to an imaginary piece of cheese.
Henny the hen flapped her wings with quite a commotion, tossing feathers in every direction! 'Quiet, you two!' she clucked.
Flap your arms like wings and pretend to cluck.
The sheep, startled awake, ran in woolly swirls, baaing and hopping like whirling dervishes.
Baa and hop around like a startled sheep.
Snorts and sniggers emerged from the pigs, rolling and tumbling like pinky pinballs!
Snort and pretend to roll like a pig in hay.
The barnyard became a symphony of sound—a moo here, a neigh there, like an orchestra gone wild.
Create and hold your imaginary instrument to play in the barnyard band.
Then came a wise old goat whose beard looked like a cloud and who spoke in rhymes most proud.
Stroke an imaginary long beard like a wise old goat.
'Together, together! Let’s make it right,' said the goat, with a twinkle so bright in each eye.
Reach out and make a joining gesture to bring friends together.
With tails entwined and smiles wide as a mile, they danced and pranced, clapping in style.
Join hands and dance in a joyful circle dance.
So it was that the barn learned that night, sometimes the best friend is the one sharing the light.
Sit down and reflect peacefully on the night’s adventures.
From that night on, no squabbles could be found, as peace and harmony settled all around.
Lay back and sigh contentedly, as if all is well in your little world.
