Farmyard

Tony and his mother arrived at the farmhouse and walked through the farmyard.

Flies high the cow and low the cattle, a twister does the farmyard rattle.

If he went near the farmyard belonging to the count, he was pushed and knocked about, for the men and the maids said he was so horrible ugly; but he was used to all this, for nobody loved him.

The poor duckling did not know where to go, and was quite miserable because he was so ugly and laughed at by the whole farmyard.

After a moment for recollection, I jumped nimbly through the window, straight onto the haystack in the farmyard.

The cock, the hen, and their chicks pecked in the farmyard.

Tom walked across the farmyard to the barn in his pyjamas and slippers.

Now and then in some farmyard a cock would crow or a dog bark, but no other sounds broke the stillness of the night.

"Where's Kipper?" I asked, and was surprised to note that Bobbie was dancing round the room on the tips of her toes uttering animal cries, apparently ecstatic in their nature. "Reggie?" she said, suspending the farmyard imitations for a moment.

The farmyard was dark and he tiptoed across it so that the turkeys wouldn't set up their gobbling and flapping.
