After the farmer has read a bedtime story to all the farm animals Lieselotte retires to the cowshed for the night. But somehow she just can’t go to sleep. Maybe it would help if she snuggled up to the farmer or to the hens? But this does not seem to be a good idea: in the end, Lieselotte’s visits cause serious mayhem! The farmer’s bed comes apart under her bulk, and the chicken coop's roof flies off when Lieselotte descends upon the hens. The whole farm is in uproar, and now everybody’s wide awake. After all this excitement it’s small wonder that Lieselotte becomes really tired - as the day begins to dawn she can finally go to sleep.
