Saves the Day by

10. It was feeding time in the barnyard. Farmer Deb fed the
pigs. But then, BRRING!
The phone rang. Deb ran inside
the house to get it. The
animals waited and waited.

11. They were getting impatient. What was taking Farmer Deb so long
to return?
“BAA, BAA,” said the very angry sheep.
“MOO! MOO! MOO!” said the furious
cows, stomping their feet.

12. The animals were all mad and very hungry.
Iggy Pig decided to find Farmer Deb.
He ran to her house to snoop around.
First, he looked through the window.

13. Then he looked in the kitchen. Where was Farmer Deb? What
would make Farmer Deb come
outside? Iggy wondered. Then he
had an idea.

14. “HELP! HELP!” Iggy yelled. “Come right away.”
Farmer Deb looked out the front
door. She wondered what the
emergency cry was for. What could
be the problem?

15. “MOO! BAA!” the animals shouted together. “We demand that you
feed us. That’s an order!”
Deb dropped the phone and ran
outside. She knew the animals
wouldn’t wait another minute.

16. Soon the animals were all munching happily. Later, the cows said to
Iggy. “We sincerely thank you.
We really mean it! MOO!”
