Farmer Joe's Fainting Goats to the Rescue! Brenda Ruppert Bunkers

Farmer Joe's goats had been with him for as long as he could remember and were the only family he had. He still remembered the first time he laid eyes on them, and instead of returning home with just four, he brought all eight home as he could not bear to separate them. He adored his goats, and they loved him back.




For the past few months, Farmer Joe had not really focused much on anything besides caring for his goats. He had not been feeling well for a while now; he got tired quickly and ran out of breath. His joints had started aching, and even rounding up his naughty goats got a bit too much sometimes. He had been thinking of visiting the doctor in the nearby town, but he kept putting it off.




Farmer Joe's ailing health has put him in the hospital for a few days. He will not be able to make the necessary repairs to his farm and barn that is much needed. Who will care for his beloved goats? When the 8 Fainting Goats hear of Farmer Joe's issue, they waste no time in making all the necessary repairs to the farm and barn. Now, can you imagine how hard it was for big sister -Avery assigning tasks for her brothers to get the farm and barn back in shape - it was not easy. When Farmer Joe returns from the hospital he is in for a very Big surprise! Little do the goats know, Farmer Joe has a bigger surprise for all of them.
