Is that an Alpaca

We were careful as we entered the dark barn. There are always hoes, rakes, and scythes lying around. You do not want to step on something that means stitches. I had done that before. What is grandpa keeping in here? I wondered. My cousin said “there is something alive. Maybe a goat?” Our goal was the hay mow. We love playing up there. We reached it before day break We heard a clunk, and there was a ladder next to the mow. My cousin looked as startled as I felt. Someone was in here with us. Someone who could move a ladder. A few minutes later an alpaca in sunglasses appeared. Apparently, he was standing on the ladder. “Is that an alpaca?” My cousin whispered. “Sure is,” the alpaca whispered back.
