Morris the Moo Cow arrived at the farm on a hot summer day, determined to make new friends and fit in with the other animals. He met Snuffles the Pig, Henrietta the Chicken, Dolly the Sheep, and Duke the wise old Rooster. Duke, the leader of the barnyard, didn't seem to like Morris very much, but Morris was determined to earn his respect. He helped Snuffles dig up truffles, listened to Henrietta's egg-cellent tales and played tag with Dolly. One day, Farmer Meanbean had a problem, and Morris and his barnyard buddies worked hard to raise money for a new tractor, in the end they were able to buy it and Morris finally earned Farmer Meanbean's approval. Morris was determined to earn Duke's respect, he spent more time with him and in the end, Morris was able to prove himself to Duke and earn his respect too.
