Aly the ARION & Jenny the JAGUAR

“Come on Jenny, time to get up! We’ve got grass to cut today!” calls out Aly - but still not a peep from Jenny. “Jenny, the animals have missed you, why don’t you come and say hello?” asks Farmer Green. Still, no response. She must be feeling really sleepy!

Today we will read a story about Aly the ARION and Jenny the JAGUAR.

It is the beginning of Spring which is a very busy time on the farm. Farmer Green has woken early to make sure the whole farm is ready to start work.

Aly has been working on the farm all Winter so is used to working everyday. Aly is strong and can pull heavy loads whatever the weather conditions...rain, wind or snow! Farmer Green asks Aly the ARION to wake up Jenny the JAGUAR.

Jenny has been asleep all Winter! This is her first working day for a few months and she must be feeling sleepy still... Aly cannot seem to get Jenny up and out of the barn so asks Farmer Green what he should do to wake Jenny up.

Starting to become a little worried, Aly thinks for a while before coming up with a clever idea... He asks Farmer Green to collect some grass, put the grass into a bucket and then place on the ground right under Jenny’s nose...which has started to twitch! The smell of grass is like perfume to Jenny!

“Whaa... What’s going?!” mumbles Jenny as she slowly opens up her eyes. “It’s light outside!” she exclaims. Jenny revs up her engine and sets off outside in a flash. “Someone’s excited to start work, ey?” smiles Farmer Green, as she watches Jenny whizzing around the yard.

Aly and Jenny spend the rest of the day cutting grass and moving the load into the silage clamps. “I am so happy that it’s Spring time, this is my favourite time of year. I love my job” grins Jenny. “I’m just happy you’re finally awake!” Aly says jokingly. “Yes, who would have cut the grass?!” laughs Jenny.
