The Greenstalk farm is prone to trouble: on Monday Farmer Greenstalk loses his watch; on Wednesday the dog eats Jeffrey's homework; on Friday the cow gets stuck in a tree. Each time, enthusiastic chickens rush to the rescue--until Sunday when Emily spills breakfast, and the exhausted chickens are sound asleep. A final chuckle-inducing illustration shows hungry pigs sprinting toward the house.
