The next morning there were dark storm clouds in the sky when Mr Walsh put the last sheep into the truck and pushed Joe and Willie up with them. Prince jumped in too, Mr Funnell got into the front, and then they were ready to go. Mr Walsh turned and looked hard at Matty.
"Right. Get to work, then,' he said, with a half smile.
"You said that you wanted to stay here and work, didn't you? So, you're the farmer for today. And when I come back, I'll want to see that
everything's all right.'
Matty didn't understand this. "Why did he say that?' he thought. "He doesn't mean it - he's just laughing at me.
The truck drove away, and Mrs Walsh and Jessica looked at Matty. Mrs Walsh smiled.
"Well," she said. "There's a lot to do. Why don't you begin in the cow shed? I've got work to do in the house.'
So Matty began in the cow shed. He enjoyed the work very much, but Jessica followed him around, asking questions all the time. Where do you live? How old is your mother? What is your father called? What did you like best in school? Do you like Mr Funnell? How much
