It had been raining all day and it showed no signs of stopping all night either. But the next morning, the sun came out. Mrs Keighly put out all the damp clothes and rugs to dry at the farm. “Hey! Why can’t we too dry out in the sun?” suggested Jugs, the cock, whose feathers were simply not drying! “We can run around the farm and the sun and wind will dry out our fur and feathers!” A little while later, Mrs Keighly was startled to see the animals and the birds whizzing past the kitchen window, and going round and round the farm! Thoroughly puzzled, she came out to see what was going on. “Stop!” she said, waving her rolling pin, “Have you all gone mad?” The farm creatures stopped. They loved her. But they had no way of telling her that they were now dry and ready for work!
