  1. Our Farm Animals

    Share Share Post
    The animals which we keep at home are cows, calves, a horse and a donkey, and a cat and a dog. Our cows have got no names. The place in which the cows are kept at night is called the stall.
    When people are calling cows they say "Suck!", "Suck"!.
    Our cow house is a small one, only way for eight cows that is in it. Some of our cows are tied by the horn in the neck.
    The tyings are made of soft rope, and are made locally.
    The tyings at were used in olden times were made with bags.
    The walls of our cow-house are made of stones and mortart, and the roof is made of sheet-iron.
