The Show

Next day, visitors arrived dressed as scarecrows.They read Duck's show sign and wanted to be an audience.

Parrot was the MC who introduced the acts. Duck hoped everything would go well.

Sheep displayed the pictures of the all-wool outfits in the Fashion Parade without tripping up. Even the Chickens sang together in their chorus.

Finally, Pig danced. The visitors had never seen anything like him before.

Pig started by looking over the scarf. People were only supposed to see his eyes, but there was rather a lot of Pig. He twirled and spun his trotters through the air. His tummy was impossible to describe!

Goat did a splendid job of drumming on the new buckets. The beat was strong and wild. The audience thought of deserts, camels and dates. For a finish, Pig sank to the floor wrapped in the multi-coloured scarf, lolly earrings sticking to his damp neck. He bowed with a flourish and the crowd went wild.

‘Congratulations, Duck. It was definitely a non-boring show,' gushed Cate. ‘All the visitors want to come back to the farm again tomorrow to pat the real animals as well as play on the cybergames.'

Duck liked being Director Duck. And he just might try on that cyberhelmet one more time!
