    The farmer sells the wool and gets a good price for it.
    The hens are very useful. They lay an egg every day. The eggs are sold in the shops. When we are calling the hens we say "Tioc" "Tioc".
    The ducks are very useful also. The ducks are very easy reared. They go off swimming in ponds. They are great for laying. When we are calling the ducks we say "Feed" "Feed"?
