Mamma Moo sees the farmer and his family leave to go on vacation, and their obvious excitement rubs off on her. Mamma Moo wants to go on vacation, too. If she only knew what it was. Crow, who of course doesn’t think cows have vacations, gets drawn in the search for the answer. Is it doing nothing? That seems strange. Is it going on water slides? That’s fun, but a little too wet for Crow’s taste. Mamma Moo eventually concludes that maybe you have to leave home in order to go on vacation. Crow, who feels that he’s already seen the whole world since he’s been outside of Sandviken, thinks that seems pointless, not to say wrong. There’s nothing to see out there anyway. But this is soon contradicted by a new arrival on the farm. Mamma Moo meets Stork, who’s decided to build her nest on the roof of the barn this year. Stork is a migratory bird, who has just arrived following a long flight from southern Africa, and when she talks about all the things she’s experienced along the way, Mamma Moo becomes even more eager to leave home to go on a trip somewhere.
