The story begins with Topsy and Tim visiting their grandparents, who live on a farm. As soon as they arrive, they feel excited about seeing all the animals and exploring the fields. The first animals they meet are the friendly cows. Grandpa explains that cows provide milk, and he even lets Topsy and Tim help with the milking. Topsy feels a bit nervous at first, but with Grandpa’s help, she soon gets the hang of it.

Next, they head to the chicken coop, where Grandma shows them how to collect eggs. Tim carefully picks up an egg and places it in the basket. “Chickens lay eggs every day,” Grandma explains, and Topsy and Tim are amazed to see so many eggs in the coop.

After collecting eggs, they visit the pigsty. The pigs roll around in the mud, and Tim giggles when one of them snorts loudly. “Pigs love mud,” Grandpa tells them. “It keeps them cool on hot days.” Topsy and Tim watch as the pigs enjoy their muddy bath, and they learn about how animals stay comfortable on the farm.

Later, they meet the sheep and lambs grazing in the field. Topsy gently strokes a fluffy lamb, while Grandpa explains that sheep provide wool for making clothes. Tim finds it fascinating and asks lots of questions about how wool turns into a sweater.

In the afternoon, they take a tractor ride with Grandpa around the farm. They see fields of wheat, corn, and vegetables growing in neat rows. “Farmers work hard to grow food for us,” Grandpa says. Topsy and Tim listen carefully, realizing how important farms are for providing the food we eat.

By the end of the day, Topsy and Tim have learned so much about the animals and life on the farm. They feel proud of all the new things they’ve discovered and can’t wait to tell their friends about their adventure.
