Baby Farm Animals (2 page)

Baby Goats
are called kids, just as little boys and girls are. They try to knock each other down by butting their heads together. Their father has horns and a pointed beard.

Baby Swans
are called cygnets. Now they are covered with smoke-colored down, but soon they will have pure white feathers and long, long necks.

Baby Goose
is called a gosling. She will be a big gray goose someday. See her brother with his head under the water. He is looking for something to eat.

Baby Horse
we call a foal. She could walk the same day she was born. Now, after a week, she gallops. When she is two years old, she will be a beautiful horse, and she will be able to carry a rider on her back. Perhaps she will even win a race.

Baby Pony
is taking Kitten and Puppy for a ride. He is a Shetland pony, so he will not grow very much bigger.

Baby Cow
is called a calf. She says, “Moooo! It is time for lunch.”
