    The Farm Animals
    On our farm there are a lot of animals, the horse, the cow, the ass, the pig, the calf, the sheep, the goat, the dog and the cat. When I am calling the horse I say "nanny"
    " " " " " " cow " " "prigin prigin"
    When calling the ass I say "phet phet"
    " " " " " " " pig " " "furish, furish",
    " " " " " " calf " " "suck, suck"
    " " " " " sheep " " "choofen, choofen, choofen"
    " " " " " cat " " "pusan, pusín"
    The horse's name is Rose. I call one of the cows the "long horney" and the other "the poll" I call the dog Captain. When I am driving the cows I saw "how! how!" When I am calling the goat I say "meg! meg!" I have a cow called Jessie
