in the trough
and pigs in the pond.

Old Farmer Brown
spent the night
underground
with his wife,
ten kids,
and their basset hound.

They yawned
and stretched,

with alarm
at their mixed-up,
crazy,new
animal farm!
突然發現眼前的農場一片狼藉
簡直是動物們糟糕的新農場！
And that is why,
since Sunday morn,
the chickens are laying
eggs in the corn.

The frogs are jumping
in the loft full of hay,

and the mule is sleeping
in the coop all day.

is the cows' new home.

have to sleep alone.

Life is very different
every morning
on the farm.

Now the mule hee-haws
the five o'clock alarm.

But the farmer
and his family
are growing mighty fond
of all the silly changes
since a twister
hit the pond.
暴風襲擊池塘帶來了巨大變化
但是，農民Brown一家好像還挺喜歡這個變化的。
