The hilarious story of a sneeze that causes barnyard havoc The farmer is snoozing on the hay in his barn, surrounded by his dozy animals, when the fly buzzing around lands on his nose. Of course he sneezes, which sets off a long chain of consequences, until finally the terrified donkey panics. This story has been compared to the traditional rhyme "The House that Jack Built," and has the same satisfying cause and resulting domino effect.
