Berty & Andy
Overcoming the Naughty Fur Caterpillar


On a sunny morning at the Laughter Farm, Bertie Duck and Andy Chicken sat under a shady oak tree. The two of them were the best friends on the farm, and always found a way to make the farm a laughing stock.


Today, they are engaged in a truly unique adventure. They hear from Sally Cow, the ranch keeper, that there are mischievous and funny caterpillars that are disturbing all the animals around the farm. No one knows where the caterpillar came from, but reportedly, the caterpillar is a big fan of comedy.


"We have to find a way to deal with the caterpillar, Bertie," Andy told Bertie with a laugh. "Maybe we can make her laugh so she doesn't bother us anymore."


Bertie nodded in agreement. "We're experts in humor, Andy. Let's make a ridiculous plan."


They also began to plan their plans. First, they decided to find out what made the caterpillar laugh. They asked animal friends at the farm, ranging from Kelly's Horse to Danny's Sheep. All animals have funny stories to share, but unfortunately, the caterpillar is not interested.


Suddenly, Duck Bertie got a brilliant idea. "Andy, what if we put on a comedy show in front of that caterpillar? Maybe he'll be entertained by our looks!"


Andy laughed out loud. "That's a great idea, Bertie! Let's get our show ready!"


The two of them began to practice and prepare their comedy shows. Bertie will be the host, and Andy will appear as a comedian. They chose some funny stories, even asking Sally Cow to give some ranch jokes.


The day of the show arrived, and the entire animals on the farm gathered near the oak tree. All the animals are very excited to see this comedy show.


Bertie stood in front of the animals, "Welcome to Laughter Farm! Today, we have a special guest, a very naughty caterpillar. We'll try to make her laugh with our comedy show!"


Andy immediately started with the first joke, "Why did the chicken cross the road? Because he wants to watch Bertie's Duck comedy show!"


All the animals laughed out loud, but unfortunately, the caterpillars were still not impressed. Bertie tried again, "Why do cows carry umbrellas? Because he's afraid of the rain! But these caterpillars are definitely not afraid of rain, are they?"


The other animals laughed even louder, but the caterpillar still did not budge. They keep trying with more funny jokes and sketches of comedy.


The cow finally gave her best joke, "What happens if the duck and chicken make a comedy show? They make caterpillars laugh!"


All the animals laughed until their stomachs hurt, but the caterpillars were still unmoved. Bertie and Andy began to feel desperate.


Then, suddenly, the caterpillar began to wiggle and laugh. All the animals on the farm were shocked. The caterpillar even shook his body like a funny dance.


They were all happy to see the caterpillar laughing, but they did not know what made him laugh. Bertie and Andy look at each other and wonder what really happened.


The sun slowly descends on the western horizon, leaving a beautiful orange and pink sky at Laughter Farm. All animals still celebrate their success in making caterpillars laugh, but the tickling question remains hanging in the air. What really makes the caterpillar laugh?


Bertie and Andy sit together under an oak tree after the comedy show is over. They looked confused, but were also very satisfied with the results. "Andy, what exactly happened?" Bertie asked curiously.


Andy shrugged his shoulders while smiling, "I don't know, Bertie. Perhaps the caterpillar has a very unique sense of humor. Most importantly, our show was successful!"


As the two of them thought about the mystery, the Sally Cow came closer to them. "You two were amazing. Your comedy show is really impressive, and seeing caterpillars laughing is an incredible sight!"


Bertie and Andy thank Cow Sally. "But, Cow Sally," said Bertie, "do you know what really makes the caterpillar laugh?"


Sally's cow scrunched her forehead. "Unfortunately, I don't know. I just gave the best joke I had, and it didn't work to make him laugh. It seems that the caterpillar has a very special sense of humor."


They continued to discuss about the caterpillar while sitting under the shady oak tree. Then, Sheep Danny, who was still laughing at the Sally Cow prank, joined them. "Hey, what are you talking about?"


Bertie explains the situation to Danny Sheep. "We wanted to know what made the caterpillar laugh. But it seems we'll never know."


Danny's sheep scratched his thick hairy head. "Maybe we can try to find the caterpillar and ask him directly."


Andy chuckles. "That's a funny idea, Danny, but the caterpillar has flown away, and we don't know where he's going. There's no way we're gonna find her again."


However, suddenly, a small voice resounded throughout the farm. The voice got closer, and they realized that it was a familiar laughing voice. They looked up and were surprised to see the caterpillar hovering above them, laughing happily.


Bertie, Andy, Cow Sally, and Sheep Danny gawk. The caterpillar had indeed returned, and it seemed that he was very happy to see them all. "Hey, how are you, guys?" the caterpillar said enthusiastically.


Andy spoke in surprise, "We're good, but we wanted to know what really made you laugh. Our show didn't work, and we were curious."


The caterpillar laughed again. "You guys are really funny, so I laughed!" He then explained, "When your show started, I felt sad and lonely. But when I saw all the animals coming together and trying to make me laugh, my heart felt lighter. I'm laughing because you all care so much about me."


All the animals on the farm were moved to hear the caterpillar's explanation. They realize that their show is not just about making caterpillars laugh, but also about showing kindness and friendship.


Bertie smiled and nodded. "Thank you, guys. We may not know what exactly makes the caterpillar laugh, but we do know that we all care about each other. That's what makes us such an amazing farm."


Hearing this, the caterpillar added, "And you all have made me feel like part of this family of farms. I feel happy here."


Every animal on the farm was happy to hear the words of the caterpillar. They all embrace the friendship and happiness they find at the Laughter Farm. Now, the farm became a brighter place, full of laughter, and serene.


The moral of the story is that friendship, kindness, and humor are truly valuable things in life. Sometimes, we may not know what actually makes someone laugh or happy, but appreciating and caring for others is always worthwhile. The Laughter Farm is proof that togetherness and happiness can be found in kindness and friendship.


As the days change, the farm continues to be a place full of laughter and love, where all the animals live together in harmony and happiness. Bertie and Andy remain best friends and run their famous comedy show whenever they feel the farm needs an extra touch of humor.


And the naughty caterpillar? He stayed on the farm, laughing and smiling every day, knowing that he had found a new family and a truly special place. Laughter Farm is not only a place of laughter, but also a place of compassion, friendship, and kindness.
