“Why do humans have tea?” asked Billy, the puppy. “They just do!” replied Cora, the sheep. “It’s a kind of ceremony in the afternoon. It’s called tea, but actually there are a lot of goodies: sandwiches, scones, cakes, cookies…..” “Why don’t we have tea too?” asked Billy. This made Cora and all the others think. Luckily, the next day tea was laid out on a table under the old oak tree in the garden. Before the Farmer Walden and his family came, Cora, Billy and all the farm animals and birds ran and gobbled up the food! When Farmer Walden and his family came out, they were quite surprised to see that everything had been eaten! And then the animals and the birds began to feel sick and queasy! The vet came and gave them large doses of awful medicine! They never touched tea again and no one asked, “Why do humans have tea?”
