  An elephant with grey skin. and a trunk as thick as a tree.

  We had to feed that greedy beast three sacks of hay each morning.

  Mum said we can't afford it and the elephant had to leave.
• 2:53
  Um, please, please, please, Mum, let me have a bet.
• 2:58
  A horse orvi, or a dog orvi, or a wolf orvi, or any pet will do.

  A sheep with long yellow teeth and soft green wool.
• 3:13
  Mum teased me about it first, but she got me one.
• 3:18
  We let the sheep sleep in the kitchen.
• 3:21
  It bleated and bleated and then bleated some more.
• 3:25
  It bleated all night and no one got any sleep. So the sheep had to leave.

• 3:34
  A horse or a beetle or a duck or a seal or a wolf or a reasal or a tree or an eel.

  mouse, a sweet little mouse with neat pink feet.
• 3:51
  Mom wasn't too keen at first, but she got to run.
• 3:58
  Its cage was easy to keep clean. It liked eating bits of cheese.
