The document tells a story in rhyme about Farmer Ted and the animals on his farm. Over three days, Farmer Ted gets out of bed and checks on his animals, each time counting a different set of animals and stating how many there are. By the third day, Farmer Ted has counted all the animals on his farm, including 1 pig, 2 cats, 3 bunnies, 4 dogs, 5 bulls, 6 sheep, 7 frogs, 8 hens, 9 cows, and 10 horses.
