  Object title	Country walks; the farmer
  Text	This is a farmer. He has forgotten his bucket. The cow's name is Buttercup. The wheel came off the cart on the last load of hay. Green Rover, the dog, is helping the hens to find the egg they laid yesterday. The goose won't lay any golden eggs as he is a gander. First Steps in Farming are best made with London Transport's Country Walks (5/- from any London Transport Enquiry Office...)
