Milo wanted just one more look at that weird animal. I didn't touch your cruddy egg," the hedgehog grumbled. The trouble with guarding an egg is you have to always be on guard.Īnd outside, Milo and Otis suddenly remembered: He's got the whole farm crazy.Īt that moment, Milo was teasing a crab that was waddling through the farmyard.īut this time, someone got the best of Milo. "Hey, could you cut that out?" Milo said. Some strange noises brought Milo out of the henhouse. Naturally, the sight of a dog and a cat watching an egg brought the usual string of gawkers. Well, maybe you don't realize that this is the day I've become a watchdog." Maybe you don't realize it, Milo, but this is a major day for me because. "How long do we have to stick around this henhouse?" We can't start playing games with the egg. You want me to kick it back to you, Otis?" Milo asked. "Is she staying at home with it or is she going back to work?" Otis took the egg-watching assignment very seriously. Keep an eye on it, Otis, while I spread the word." Gloria had a good reason for wanting to be alone. Milo and Otis went to see what all the commotion was about.Īnd all the hens left in a clucking flurry because that was Gloria talking, a young chicken who had scratched and pecked her way to the top rung of the henhouse. The following day, the henhouse was in an uproar. "Aha." He thought of a place where Otis could never sniff him out.īut Milo wondered if it was really worth the trouble. Otis started following his trail immediately and found him again. "Oh, not the old puss-in-boots trick," Otis groaned.Īnd Milo slipped off to another hiding place. Otis sniffed around the yard for a while. Milo had some new hiding places he couldn't wait to try out. Milo and Otis grew big enough to play outside by themselves. The months passed, and the farm was humming with the sounds of summer. "All right, be careful," his mother ordered, and began swimming. "Do you think you can follow me back to the shore?" "All of you, back on the dock," she ordered. "Milo, get back here," his mother demanded.īut Milo- Ah. Now, you must never, never go too close to the edge of the dock. "This is the dock and down there is the river. "Now, listen carefully," Milo's mother said, once again trying to speak softly. "And, Milo, I've told you again and again, please, don't walk on the chickens." "Milo, finish your breakfast or the puppies will get it!" his mother yelled. He was the first to start calling out for food. The kittens were now big enough to leave the hayloft and see the world beyond the barn. Pretty soon, it was the beginning of a big day for Milo. Nevertheless, as if they knew how much they would need each other, Milo and Otis became best friends. But, um, really, deep down inside, we're all cats, right?" Milo tried to figure this out and said, "Oh, all right, a dog. "You're a strange-looking cat," Milo said. The first animal Milo met outside of his family was Otis, one of the barn puppies.
"Milo, dear," his mother said, "that's not a good idea!" She was determined to be a good mother and never yell at her kittens.īut that approach would not last very long, because Milo, one of her kittens, was trouble from the very beginning.Īs soon as he could walk, he began wandering to the edge of the hayloft. The farm cat had just given birth to her first litter. The noise upstairs didn't disturb the dogs that slept in the barn.īut a lot of the other animals were awakened by all that scurrying overhead.īut the mood was very different up in the hayloft.
NARRATOR: Except for the activity up in the hayloft, the farm was pretty quiet that morning.
