That time when Grandpa and his mates performed Swan Lake at the village concert ... “Grandpa wore a tutu in the days of old, when his legs were hairy and his muscles bold.” Back in the day, Grandpa was a dairy farmer who milked cows while dreaming of dancing ballet. His dream comes true when the local farmers put on a performance of Swan Lake at the country hall and Grandma sews him a tutu ready for his starring role. Together with his farmer friends, they dance up a storm, wearing a variety of unusual footwear ... including Grandpa in his gumboots!
