When the animals get to the top of the hill, they ‘meet and greet’. What does that mean?
Do they seem happy talking to each other on top of the hill? What shows this?
Are they happier on the way down than they were on the way up? How can you tell?
What if they didn’t talk on top of the hill? Would they have had such a good time?
What if the goat had said to the cow, “I’m not talking to you because your hair is smooth and mine is fluffy”?
What if the pig had said to the alpaca, “I don’t like you because my colour is pink and yours is orange”?
What if the donkey said to the chicken, “I’m not looking at the view with you
because you only have two legs and I have four”?
What if the rooster said, “I’m not talking to anyone because no one else has a beautiful tail like me”?
Do you think worrying about those sorts of things makes it harder to be friends?
