This is very beautiful. Though I have to confess, I don’t know the first thing about farming!

That’s fine! Don’t worry about it!

B

What was that?

A

Relax, it was just a goat!

And that?

It’s just the cows that are grazing over there. We can milk them later.

What was that?

A

Honey, seriously, It’s just a sheep. Relax!

Relax, that was just the horses and donkeys that are in the stable .
