   chickens.

   There came an old woman from Sandyland. Somebody gets into the middle of the children and then some other body comes and asks her for the children.

   In Spring I go and look for birds' nests. In Summer I go for picnics and to the hills. I gather blackberries in Autumn. In Winter I sit round the fire and listen to stories.

   The games I play are - "Sneaks and ladders", croquet, wallflowers, swinging and sea-saw. In Autumn I pick black-berries and rasberries. In Spring I look for birds' nests', string daisies, gather primroses and other flowers. In Summer I like to sit on the sand or under the shade of a tree or in the fields. In Winter I sit at the fire and read books.
