It's story time! Enjoy a fun story by reading the text or watching the story come

Story text:
Once upon a time, there was a little goat named Sammy, who lived on a farm.
One day, Sammy saw a big, hungry wolf sneak up to the chicken coop.
“Oh no!” Sammy said, “I have to chase him away!”
But how? Sammy knew he was no match for a big, strong wolf.
He went to the forest to ask his friends Barry the Bear and Cassie the Crow for
help.
“Let’s go!” they cried, when he told them about the wolf.

“Excuse me, Mr. Wolf!” called Sammy, “Do you know where I might get something
to eat?”
“Why, right here,” said the old wolf, and licked his lips.
“Ah,” said Sammy, “but I want something bigger than a chicken.”
And with that, Sammy and Barry and Cassie stepped out from the bush a little,
so that the wolf could see only their shadow.
What a strange shadow it was - big as a bear, but with a long bird beak and curly
goat’s horns!

ACTIVITIES

When the three friends got to the farm, they hid in a bush, so the wolf would not
see them.

At the same time, the three friends began to squawk, roar, and bleat.
“What kind of monster is this?” cried the wolf. He was so scared he ran away and
never came back!
The friends had a good laugh about how they had tricked the wolf.
When friends get together to help each other, they can do the most amazing things!
