  1. He wasn't a sad fellow, just very serious.
  2. Farming is serious business.
  3. He'd say Nothing funny about corn now because it was
  4. Farmer Fred's farm.
  5. All the animals acted like he did so They were
  6. very serious, too.
  7. When he would say There's no humor and tomatoes, they'd
  8. all agree.
  9. The pigs, the cows, the horses, the chickens, the rabbit,
  10. the sheep all extremely serious.
  11. One night, Edna, the cow said, We've got to get
  12. Farmer Fred to laugh.
  13. I mean, it's OK to be serious, but not all
  14. the time.
  15. We need some laughter, I must admit, said Bernie the
  16. Goat. I wouldn't mind smiling again.
  17. He stretched his mouth and showed all his teeth.
  18. It wasn't a very convincing smile.
  19. They all decided they needed a plan to make the
  20. farm more fun.
  21. The next morning, as the sun came up, Edna was
  22. standing on the fence where Cormac the rooster usually stood.
  23. She was barely able to keep her balance.
  24. She tried to yell Cock a doodle doo.
  25. But since she was a cow, it didn't come out
  26. like that at all.
  27. It was the first time anyone had done anything funny
  28. in months, so it made all the animals laugh.
  29. Farmer Fred just looked out the window and said, You're
  30. not a rooster and shut the window and went back
  31. to sleep.
  32. Wow, said Edna, This is gonna be tougher than I
  33. thought. That morning was serious, as usual, with Farmer Fred
  34. saying things like Broccoli is no fun and I never
  35. laughed at Bell Peppers.
  36. Okay, said Edna to the others, Let's try another idea.
  37. When Farmer Fred went to feed the pigs that afternoon,
  38. they started barking like dogs.
  39. Everyone thought it was hilarious, but Farmer Fred, that's more
  40. weird than funny, he said as he walked away.
  41. All right, said Edna, this isn't working.
  42. Let's try something new.
  43. They sneaked into the house and took some clothes from
  44. Farmer Fred's closet and put them on.
  45. It wasn't as easy as it sounds.
  46. That evening, as the moon lit up the field, Bernie
  47. rang the doorbell.
  48. Farmer Fred came out to the porch and said, What
  49. in the world the animals were all dancing around in
  50. Farmer Fred's clothes.
  51. They were terrible dancers, which actually made it funnier.
  52. But Farmer Fred just said, Better not get my clothes
  53. dirty. He walked back inside without smiling.
  54. For the next two weeks, the animals tried everything they
  55. could to make Farmer Fred smile a little, but nothing
  56. worked. It got to be very discouraging.
