Bat was sad.
He liked the barn.
He liked Cow and Pig and Cat.
But they did not like Bat.
They did not want to play with him.
"If I am a cow," said Bat, "Cow will play with me.
Cow will be my friend."
"If I am a pig," said Bat, "Pig will play with me.
Pig will be my friend."
"If I am a cat," said Bat, "Cat will play with me.
Cat will be my friend."
"I will think and think," said Bat.
"I will think of a way to be a pig, a cow, or a cat.
And soon I will have new friends!"
