At the end of the day, the cows go back into the barn. The cows rest in the barn and chew the grass that they swallowed during the day.

There is a big barn on the farm. The barn is for the cows. They stay in the barn at night.

During the day, the cows are in the field where they eat a lot of grass. They swallow

the grass but do not chew it.

We see horses on our visit to the farm. The horses spend the day in the field where they

often run around.

Sometimes the horses go to the water tank to get a drink. They eat foods like grass and hay.

An apple is a special treat for a horse.

Chickens spend their day in a special yard on the farm. The farmer leaves seeds in the yard

for the chickens to eat.

The farmer also leaves water for the chickens. If the chickens get out of the special yard, the farmer may not find the eggs that the

chickens lay.

Deer can often be found in places with lots of trees. Deer like to eat the leaves and seeds of trees. By lying down under tree branches, deer can rest and hide from other animals.

Deer take lots of short naps. They do not sleep very long at any one time.

Many kinds of birds live in the woods. Some birds, like crows, are easy to see as they fly

from tree to tree.

Some birds are easy to see and hear. Woodpeckers often have bright colors. They

also can be very noisy as they peck at tree trunks and branches with their sharp bills.

places to eat later.

You might not see a mole in the woods. That is because moles spend most of their

lives underground.

Moles have sharp claws that help them dig underground. Moles rest in their

underground homes.

There are many kinds of fish in the ocean. Some fish are small and hide among the

rocks. But that is not the only place where fish can hide.

The flying fish hides in an odd way. Its hiding place is above the water!

The ocean is full of fish that swim about in the water. Other animals like the starfish live

in the ocean but stay in one place.

Most starfish have five arms, just like the five points of a star.

All whales spend their lives in the ocean. White whales are able to live in very cold

water. They spend part of each year close to the North Pole.

Southern right whales live only where the water is warm. Southern right whales never

live where the water is cold.
