Why So Sad, Mamma Moo?/Mamma Mu blir ledsen

It’s dinner time at the farm and Crow is distraught – no one ever leaves out food for him! So, when the little girl on the farm sets out a plate with a pancake on it, Mamma Moo convinces Crow that it’s for him. Crow is overjoyed and proclaims the girl to be his only friend. This makes Mamma Moo sad – she thought they were friends, but Crow disagrees. Mamma Moo has never even been to his house. Never mind that she is too big to fit.
