2. “ Hey ugly, why are you orange ?”
“ You look odd.” said Lacy the pig
Tommy the cow tried not to say anything back, but he
just couldn’t hold his tongue.
“Well .. well I’m not sure Lacy I guess it's just the way
I was born” said Tommy

3. “ “Why must you look the way you do? “ said Lacy
Tommy stood with nothing to say. Tommy had
been getting bullied by Lacy and the other farm
animals since he moved to California from Florida.
He seemed different and bit off to them so,
instead of getting to know him, they made him feel
different and left him out of a lot of activities.

4. Weeks and weeks went by and the farm animals
continued to bully Tommy. It was to point where
Tommy didn’t even want to come out of his pen
because he was so scared.

5. “Tommy the fat orange cow come out, come
out, wherever you are” Lacy sang up and down
the farm.
“Where are you, you fat orange cow. Won’t you
come out and entertain me with your big orange
spots?” She said over and over again.

6. Tommy tried with all his might not to say
anything back. He hid in his pen all day and all
night. He took the horses hay and put it over
himself so he could blend in a bit better.

7. Soon Lacy went away and didn’t come back
for the rest of the day. Tommy felt a little better
and fell fast asleep.

8. The next day, to the farm animals
surprise, there was a truck outside but this
wasn’t just any old truck This was the truck
that new animals arrived on! Which meant
there was a new animal in town and
everyone was so excited to see who the new
animal was!

9. The new animal walked down the ramp
coming out of the truck. He was a big bull with
a ring going through his nose.

10. “Hi what’s your name?” Lacy called out
to the bull “My name is Ricky. Little pig,
what about you?” “ Well my name is Lacy
and welcome to the best farm ever, where
we put all your needs first.”

11. Ricky knew not to get too close to the
animals at this farm because the past two
farms ,he was at, he would get picked on.

12. Ricky began to feel out of place at the
farm. He saw Lacy and the farm animals
bullying Tommy so, Ricky began to bully
them back because they were doing it to his
friend.

13. He called Lacy short and fat, he told the
chickens that they were ugly and annoying. He
would step on the chicken's eggs after they
worked so hard to get them

14. He took the horses hay and put it in the mud
and took the cows milk and tossed it in the
grass.Tommy didn’t like the way Ricky was
treating everyone and decided not to be friends
with him anymore.

15. The animals weren’t pleased with the way
they were being treated, but soon they
realized that the same thing they were doing
to Tommy was the same thing Ricky was
doing to them.

16. Lacy and the other farm animals realized that
they were wrong and made peace with Tommy
and all of them became friends.
