00:27Scarecrow's Hat Written and Illustrated by Ken Brown
00:31That's a nice hat, said Chicken to Scarecrow.
00:38Yes, it is, replied Scarecrow, but I'd rather have a walking stick.
00:44I've been standing here for years now, and my arms are so tired.
00:50I'd love a walking stick to lean on.
00:52I'd swap my hat for a walking stick any day.
00:56Now Chicken didn't have a walking stick, but she knew someone who did.
01:05That's a nice walking stick, said Chicken to Badger.
01:09Yes, it is, replied Badger, but I'd rather have a piece of ribbon.
01:14It gets hot and stuffy underground, so I prop my door open with my stick, but I'm always
01:20tripping over it.
01:22If I had a ribbon, I could tie the door open.
01:25I'd swap my walking stick for a ribbon any day.
01:29Now Chicken didn't have a ribbon, but she knew someone who did.
01:37That's a nice ribbon, said Chicken to Crow.
01:40Yes, it is, said Crow, but I'd rather have some wool.
01:45My nest is on this high stone ledge, and it's very hard to sit on.
01:51I'd love some warm soft wool to line it with.
01:54I'd swap this ribbon for some wool any day.
01:58Now Chicken didn't have any wool, but she knew someone who did.
02:07That's a nice wool coat, said Chicken to Sheep.
02:10Yes, it is, replied Sheep, but I'd rather have a pair of glasses.
02:15I have to keep a lookout for the wolf, and my eyes are not as good as they used to be.
02:21I really need a pair of glasses.
02:24I'd swap some of my wool for a pair of glasses any day.
02:28Now Chicken didn't have a pair of glasses, but she knew someone who did.
02:37That's a nice pair of glasses, said Chicken to Owl.
02:41Yes, it is, said Owl.
02:44My old one's broke, so I had to get a new pair, but I'd rather have a blanket.
02:49The sun streams through my window and keeps me awake all day, which wouldn't matter if
02:55I had a good thick blanket to sleep under.
02:58I'd swap my glasses for a blanket any day.
03:02Now Chicken didn't have a blanket, but she knew someone who did.
03:10That's a nice blanket, said Chicken to Donkey.
03:13Yes, it is, replied Donkey, but I'd rather have a few feathers.
03:19The flies drive me crazy, buzzing around my ears.
03:23My tail isn't quite long enough to flick them away, but if I had some long feathers tied
03:29to the end of it, I could swap them easily.
03:32I'd swap my blanket for a few long feathers any day.
03:40Quick as a flash, Chicken pulled out one, two, three of her longest feathers and tied
03:46them to Donkey's tail.
03:53Donkey was delighted and, true to his word, swapped his blanket for the feathers.
04:02Chicken took the blanket to Owl, who swapped it for his glasses, the old ones, of course.
04:12She took the glasses to Sheep, who swapped them for her wool.
04:21She took the wool to Crow, who swapped it for her ribbon.
04:30She took the ribbon to Badger, who swapped it for his walking stick.
04:38Finally, she took the walking stick to Scarecrow.
04:43With a grateful sigh of relief, he leaned his tired old arms on the stick and gladly
04:49swapped it for his battered old hat.
04:52Chicken took the hat and filled it with fresh, sweet-smelling straw.
05:00That's a nice nest, said Duck.
05:02Yes, it is, said Chicken, and I wouldn't swap it for anything!
