Once upon a time, in a vegetable field, there was a scarecrow named Sam. Sam loved his job of keeping the birds away from the crops but he always felt lonely. One day, Sam met a group of friendly animals who lived in the nearby forest. They invited Sam to come visit them and have some fun. Sam agreed and had a great time playing with the animals. From that day on, Sam had many friends to keep him company in the field. The end.
