The Band Leave the Creek as Nice as They Found It
Holiday snaps from a cool-water rest, with care for the farm they love.
Read aloud: The band had a rest by the creek. When they left, they packed their things and kept the water clean.
The Barnyard Beat has holiday snaps from the creek on the farm. The house band went there to cool their hooves and rest their ears. Daisy Stardust sang a quiet thank-you to the water. Woolly Riff skipped a stone only once, then stopped so the ducks could have the quiet.
Thunder Beats watched the ripples and did not rush the afternoon. Henny Keys picked up a stray ribbon from rehearsal and put it in her bag. Billy Baa packed the clover stems they had brought, so nothing was left behind.
Before they walked home, they looked at the bank. It was tidy. The water was clear. “We were guests,” said Daisy. “Guests leave a place as nice as they found it.” The band agreed. There is no ticket office at the creek, and no need for one. Just friends, a living farm, and care for the things that cannot speak.
