Understanding the Map Layout

We have a simple farm scene with several items:

- Top left: A barn (with a window and double doors)
- Top center: Three turnips growing in a row
- Top right: A house with a chimney and flower box
- Bottom left: Two cows behind a fence
- Center: A tree or bush
- Bottom right: A tractor

There is also a compass in the bottom right corner showing:
- N (North) at the top
- E (East) to the right
- S (South) at the bottom
- W (West) to the left

So, directions are:
- North = Up
- South = Down
- East = Right
- West = Left

Now let’s answer each question:

---

#### 1. What is north of the tractor?

- The tractor is in the bottom right.

#### 2. What is south of the barn?

- The barn is in the top left.
- South means down from it.
- Below the barn (bottom left), we see the cows behind the fence.

Bonus: Draw a farmer south of the house

- The house is in the top right.
- South means below it.
- So, draw a farmer somewhere in the lower right area, below the house.
