A Noise from the Barn Angela was finishing her farm chores when she heard a loud noise. It sounded like baaaaah. “What was that?” Angela asked the wise old cow. “That sound came from inside the barn," said the cow, who continued chewing her portion of grass. “I wouldn’t worry about it.” “What do you think? the girl asked Homer the horse, who was standing nearby.
“Well, I’m not sure,” replied Homer, who was a much more nervous creature than the cow. “Perhaps you should check on it. You never know. There just might be something wrong.” Angela ran to the barn and opened the heavy, wooden door. She saw her father kneeling down in the sheep pen. He looked like he was concentrating. “What’s happening, Dad? Is there a problem with the sheep?
“We have a new baby sheep!” cried Angela. “Yes, it’s a healthy baby lamb. I was a little worried because it came so early. But everything turned out fine.” “I guess that cow was right,” said Angela. “There isn’t anything to worry about.” “Bessie the cow knows what she’s talking about,” said Dad. “This little lamb is something to be happy about!”
