When Farmer Paul looks out of the window of his big red farmhouse in the mornings, his animals are already wide awake. So even before he gets to eat his own breakfast, he makes sure to feed the cow, calf, pig and piglet. The cat also gets a saucer of milk, although it was supposed to catch the curious mouse in the hayloft. Once all the animals are fed, Farmer Paul uses the winch to move the hay to the hayloft. He drives the animals out to pasture so that he can clean the stalls properly. The dove watches him from its little house on the roof and sometimes coos, "You've missed a bit!"
