UNCLE AND UNCLES FARM

Peter and Mary are pending their holidays at their uncle and aunts farmhouse.

Dear Mum and dad,

Well here we are at last! Uncle Jack and Aunt Sarah are great. The
farmhouse and the sheds are very big. Everyday we wake up at 6.30
and milk the cows. Do you know that cows moo when they need milking?
All Jacks cows are kept in a big cow-shed. Later we have a breakfast
at about 8.00. After breakfast I usually go to the pigsty to feed the
pigs. Mary doesn't like pigs because she says no sound is more
unpleasant than the grunt of a pig. So, she goes to play with the
kittens and the lambs. IN fact, right now she is playing with them.
Yes, there are a lot of sheep, too. And there is also a sheepdog. It
helps Uncle Jack to round up the stray sheep.
Aunt Sarah takes care of the poultry, you know, cocks, chickens and
hens. Their eggs are really good!
In the afternoon we usually go to the stable to groom the horses
because in the evening we normally ride. Do you know how to ride? It's
very easy. Uncle Jack says that if you want to ride a horse, you just
have to love them. Don't worry. Were having a great time.

Love, Mark
