Llama Trouble at the Farm

On the eastern side of Bobby’s farm, close to the huge tree, there lived a cuddly young llama named Frank. As a baby llama, Frank was a joyful animal, who spent many hours happily playing with his tambourine. After a while though, Frank realised that he was very different to the other llamas in the paddock.

Firstly, the other llamas would eat absolutely anything that Farmer Bobby gave them. Not Frank. Frank was very fussy about what he ate, which meant that he wasn’t as fat as the other llamas. This encouraged the other llamas to call Frank cruel names. “Look at that skinny llama!” they would snort. When Frank heard this, he cuddled up with his tambourine and found somewhere to cry where the others couldn’t see him.

As well as this, the other llamas loved to jump over the hay bales in the paddock. Not Frank. Frank preferred to keep his hooves on the ground, which meant that he wasn’t as graceful as the other llamas. This encouraged the other llamas to call him even more cruel names. “Look at that clumsy clog!” they would grunt.

As the name calling continued, Frank became very miserable. He felt awfully lonely, and decided to go and sit by himself on the eastern side of Bobby’s farm, close to the huge tree.

On the western side of Bobby’s farm, close to the enormous rock, there lived an odd-looking alpaca named George. As a baby alpaca, George was a joyful animal, who spent many hours frolicking among the rocks dancing and grooving. After a while though, George realised that he was very different to the other alpacas in his paddock.

Firstly, the other alpacas would spit as far as they could reaching long distances. Not George. No matter how hard he tried, George could only manage a tiny “spit”, which meant that he wasn’t as cool as the other alpacas. This encouraged the other alpacas to call him cruel names. “Look at his wimpy spit!” they would laugh. When George heard this, he would hide near the rocks and cry.

As well as this, the other alpacas liked to roll in the grass all day. Not George. George found this very boring. He preferred to run around all day, chasing the dandelions, which meant that George wasn’t as lazy as the other alpacas. This encouraged the other alpacas to call him even more cruel names. “Look at that healthy hick!” they would grunt.

As the name calling continued, George became very sad. He felt terribly lonesome playing all by himself near the enormous rock.

Then, one day, a huge van arrived on the farm. On the side of the van were the words Mr Hoove. Farmer Bobby began taking llamas and alpacas over to the van.

“You’re not going to get chosen for the van,” some of the llamas sniggered to Frank, “you’re too skinny!”

Frank cried a lonely tear and then continued to play with his tambourine.

“You’re not going to get chosen for the van,” some of the alpacas sneered to George, “you’re too bad at spitting and healthy!”

George cried a lonely tear and then continued to play with his dandelions.

Slowly, the other animals disappeared into the back of the van until there were just two left.

“I don’t think anyone would want to see you in zoo!” laughed Farmer Bobby. So he put Frank and George in a paddock together.

Frank watched George chasing a dandelion. “He’s not like the other alpacas,” Frank thought to himself,

“he looks odd.” George watched Frank playing with his tambourine. “He’s not like the other llamas,” George thought to himself,

“he looks strange.” “Aren’t you going to play in the hay?” asked George. “Oh no,” replied Frank, “I don’t like to jump.” George laughed. He thought this was one of the funniest

things he’d ever heard. He decided that he liked Frank so he showed him how to

chase after the dandelions. Frank laughed. He thought this was funny so he chased the

dandelions too. Farmer Bobby watched the two animals in amazement.

“Such strange creatures!” he laughed. He decided to keep the two odd animals in their own paddock together.
