As the sun went down behind the red barn, the little farm got ready for sleep.
The hens fluffed into the warm coop — goodnight, hens. The cows lay in the soft hay — goodnight, cows. The ducks tucked their heads under their wings — goodnight, ducks.
The sheep settled in a woolly pile on the hill, the pony rested one sleepy hoof, and the barn cat curled into a small gray circle.
The farmer walked the whole farm, checking each cozy corner, whispering goodnight to everyone.
Then the lights in the farmhouse went soft and low, and the whole farm breathed slow and quiet under the stars. Goodnight, little farm.
