[Python] Old MacDonald Sum of total animals should be 44

My issue is that I can't get the total amount of animals from my animals.txt file

2 pig oink
3 duck quack
4 horse neigh
5 lamb baa
6 chickens cluck
7 dog woof
8 cat meow
9 cow moo
----------
44


to show 44 total animals in my python program. Below is what I have.

def write_verse(vfile,animals): #function to write the animals into a verse.txt file
with open('animals.txt', 'r') as f:
result = sum(map(int, vfile))
count = 1
for animal in animals: #loop to iterate through all animals
amount = animal[0]
name = animal[1]
noise = animal[2]
format1 = f'Verse :{count}\n' #formatting strings
format2 = f'Old MacDonald had a farm\n'
format3 = f'E-I-E-I-O\n'
format4 = f'And on his farm he had {amount} {name}\'s\n'
format5 = f'With a {noise} {noise} there\n'
format6 = f'And a {noise} {noise} here\n'
format7 = f'Here a {noise},there a {noise}\n'
format8 = f'Everywhere a {noise} {noise}\n'
string =str(format1+format2+format3+format4+format3+format5+format6+format7+format8+format2+format3)
vfile.write(string+"\n")
print(string)
count+=1
vfile.write("Old MacDonald has a total of {0} animals".format(count-1))
print(f"Old MacDonald had a total of {result} animals")


try:
file = open('animals.txt','r')
except FileNotFoundError as a:
print(a)
contents = file.readlines()

animals_list = []
for line in contents:
line = line.rstrip("\n")
animals_list.append(line.split(" "))

file.close()

try:
vfile = open("verses.txt","w+")
except:
pass
write_verse(vfile,animals_list)
vfile.close()


This is what happens when I run it -
