Great video
My grandson let my whole flock of chickens come in. They really enjoyed it.
His first instruction was to put the chickens into the house. They did, and the wife kept complaining. So they kept going back to the wise elder who told them, in turn, to put the geese, ducks, goat, pig and finally the cow in the house.
Finally, the wife figured out the game and explained that they were making do, but don't know how they would handle things if the family came to visit. The wise elder told her they could now turn the chickens back to the coop.
They so appreciated the extra room thus created, that on subsequent visits, the wise elder told them, in turn, to take the geese, ducks, goat, pig and, finally, cow out of the house. From then on, the farmer's wife genuinely appreciated how much space they had.
We especially liked that book because there was six of us kids plus a Mom and Dad living in a small house.
The late Mr. Cathy would be pleased. Of course, the late Mr. Cathy, being in eternal bliss, is already pleased, but that is a separate issue.
Breaks the Cute Meter.

My fathers version of this came when I complained about the house being cold. He told me that I would be warm if I went outside and walked 100 paces around the house. Of course, when I came back in, the house was much warmer.
Took me a while to figure that one out.
Flash to the future:
Young girl now grown.
Charged with being a conservative.
At trial, evidence is presented by the NSA that she was a habitual liar and troublemaker from a young age... video introduced as evidence.
When the weather got 40 below here, we had to bring the billygoat and nanny goat into the cellar because the horses couldn’t stand them in the barn.
The problem was when I had to go to the cellar to throw more wood into the furnace, the goats would manage to run up the stairs and open the door and run all over the house. We 7 kids gave up chasing them and let them sit on the couch to watch tv.
I remember a children’s chapter book about a woman who lived in a little falling down house and her husband had just finished building a great barn for the animals. And she moved the entire family into the barn. The townspeople were amused but it was a great home.

For later.
