Kidding Around
When that little Aussie devil Mark goes to a birthday party at a nearby farm, he is delighted to find that the family has a herd of goats. He falls in love with two energetic kids and names one Butter (because he has tiny bumps on his head where the horns are growing) and the other one Cup (because she has a cup-shaped patch on her back).
With Alice's help, he smuggles his new friends into Animal Haven, much to the disgust of Carol the camel. But how is he ever going to keep their presence a secret?
