It's a lovely day on Big Barn Farm

and everyone is having fun in the sun.

Everything is fine and dandy.

Until Gobo finds that a piece of cloud has landed in his field.

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh, what's that, Gobo?

A piece of cloud?

Has it come from the sky?

-Do you think something might be happening?

-Mmm.

I'm going to show the others, see what they think.

Yes, you go and show the others, see what they think.

Go, go, Gobo.

Hmm, I'm not sure, it certainly looks like a piece of cloud.

Of course it is. It's white, it's fluffy, so it's a cloud.

And clouds are part of the sky.

I'm going to see what's happening out there.

Go on then, but be careful.

HE PANTS

Gobo is wondering what to do with the piece of cloud.

Dash thinks they should put it somewhere safe

in case they can fix it back up in the sky again.

What about in the straw?

Hmm, in here?

Ooh, it might be too warm and melt.

What about somewhere high?

Dash is worried they might not be able to get it back down again.

What about this box?

That's brilliant, Gobo.

A box is just the place to put the piece of cloud.

But look out, Digger's back and it looks like bad news.

Oh no, what's this? More cloud?

What's up, Digger? Trouble?

I'm afraid so, big trouble.

More cloud's fallen down. Look.

Oh no!

Petal, Gobo, Dash and Digger

are pretending that nothing is going on

because they know something the rest of the farmyard doesn't.

Don't mention the cloud, whatever you do.

We mustn't. Everyone will panic if they know the clouds are falling.

But none of the other animals guess a thing

except the chickens.

-CLUCKING

-What's up?

Er...nothing.

What are you doing?

Er...nothing.

-We're not stupid.

-You're up to something.

What's going on?

They're onto us. Quick, run!

THEY PANT

Oh no, more bits of cloud have fallen from the sky.

What are we going to do?

Hmm, we need something tall to hold them all up.

Good plan, Dash, but what would be tall enough to hold up the clouds.

Hmm...

What about this ladder?

Hmm, it's certainly tall enough to reach the top of the straw bales.

I'm not sure it's going to reach the clouds.

-Are you? Nice try, though, Digger.

-Thanks.

Maybe it's time to look for something else that can help.

Mac, the horse, is certainly very tall.

But do you think he's tall enough to hold up the clouds?

Excuse me, do you think you'd be tall enough to hold up the clouds?

No.

Oh, thanks anyway.

Don't mention it.

Hmm...think, think, think.

Erm, hey, what about a tree?

A tree might be tall enough to hold up the clouds.

What do you think?

Yes, what about that tree?

Well, it's taller than the ladder and much taller than Mac.

-Aah, come on, let's go.

-Hey, wait for me.

Oh dear, it was a good idea, but even though the tree is tall,

it still doesn't reach the clouds.

Any more bright ideas?

OK, what about if we ran away from the clouds

and then they can't fall on us.

It's got to be worth a try, Digger.

-Run!

-Which way?

THEY PANT

THEY PANT

Well, has running away from the clouds helped?

They're still falling out of the sky.

What about shouting at the clouds?

So, if you shout at the clouds, they might stay up in the sky?

Let's give it a go. Let's shout.

Go farmyard bunch!

You tell those clouds!

GROWLING, BRAYING, SNORTING AND BARKING

My throat's sore.

Mine too.

Oh dear, shouting at the clouds seems to have made it worse.

The sky is getting darker.

THUNDER CRASHES

What was that, farmyard bunch?

It's thunder, let's go!

-Quick, run!

-Leg it!

-Wait for me!

The farmyard bunch decide to tell someone else about the clouds.

-But who can they tell?

-How about Madame?

-Yes!

-I like Madame.

-She's French.

-Well, she's wise, isn't she?

French and wise.

That's good enough for Petal.

Moo!

Moo!

Moo!

# It's Madame the cow! #

Moo-la-la!

The clouds are falling down?

I know, I have collected lots of pieces over there.

What are we to do?

Take cover! Moo!

Well, I'm not going to sit and wait for the clouds to fall down.

We need to do something.

But what?

There must be someone who can help us.

Digger, why don't you go and ask Lester.

Lester? Are you sure, farmyard bunch?

I can do that! I can do that!

Brrr! Clouds falling down? Not without my say so!

I tell the sun when to rise and the moon when to go to bed.

-Lester's sure he's in charge of the clouds.

-I'm in charge of everything.

Even the farmer's son and that ball?

The clouds wouldn't dare fall on me. Brrr!

Ooh! CLUCKING

-The ball didn't do as it was told.

-I'll teach that boy a lesson!

What about the clouds, Lester?

We've got to warn the farmer. He can stop the clouds falling down.

He'll never believe a piglet, a goat, a donkey and a dumb dog.

Not so much of the dumb! Maybe we can't speak to him,

but how about we put the piece of cloud outside the farmhouse?

So the farmer will discover the cloud and put two and two together

-and...

-He'd be able to stop the clouds falling down.

-ALL:

-Hooray!

Gobo's getting the secret piece of sky out of his special box.

Oh, phew!

It's still there then.

-Where did you think it would be?

-I thought it might have melted.

This is no time for silly talk. We have to get this to the farmhouse

so the farmer can see it.

OK, farmyard bunch, let's go to work.

The four friends are on their way to the farmhouse

to show the farmer their piece of cloud.

-But here comes Old Pop.

-Hello, you lot, why the long faces?

Er...because I'm a donkey.

I think we've got something that maybe we shouldn't have.

Want to share it with a wise old dog?

-Cloud falling down...

-In a box...

-Gobo first...

And I thought it would melt.

The farmyard bunch are glad to share their problem with Old Pop.

Old Pop tells them that a problem shared is a problem halved.

They say they're on their way to see the farmer.

They show him their piece of cloud.

Clouds, eh? You think that's a piece of cloud, do you?

You'd better follow me, I think I can help.

Good plan.

I knew he'd know what to do.

-So did I.

-I knew before you.

-Didn't.

-Did.

-Didn't.

-Did!

Less arguing. Follow me.

Old Pop's taking them to see the sheep.

Baa! Baa! Baa!

Tell me what you see.

Duh! Sheep.

No, look closer.

Oh no! Bits of clouds, bits of clouds! Help! Oh no...

Calm down.

Old Pop tells them to look again.

No, not bits of clouds, bits of wool from the sheep.

Huh? Wool?

Old Pop calls over one of the sheep, Eunice the old ewe.

-Eunice, excuse me.

-Mmm-hmm.

These youngsters thought your wool was bits of cloud.

Ha ha! That's an easy mistake to make.

Yeah.

If you're daft!

SHEEP LAUGH

Petal's a bit embarrassed. She's not keen on being laughed at.

Yes, aren't they silly? I knew it was wool all along.

You did?

I was just joking.

-You fibber!

-Oh no, really, Gobo.

In knew the clouds would never really fall down from the sky.

-There's nothing to be scared of.

-What about the clouds we found?

-I mean wool.

-Yeah, what's it for?

We wear it to keep warm. After we wear it, the farmer does.

Eh?

-Look!

-What Eunice means is wool is used for knitting things

like woolly hats, woolly jumpers and woolly socks

like the farmer's.

It looks like the farmer could do with some more wool.

THEY ALL LAUGH

That's all for now. See you again soon on Big Barn Farm!
