- The farmers have a number of animals such as cows, horses, donkeys, pigs, calves, sheep, goats, cats and dogs. Our cows have no names
When driving the cows in or out of a field I say "how!" "how!" When driving the calves I say "Suck!" "Suck!" "Suck!".
Our cow house has a door and three windows.
The cows are tied to the wall with a chain. The cows are tied by the horns, and some cows are tied by the neck. When people are milking the cows they do not tell any stories.
The people used to buy rope and make tyings. Long ago every farmer had a number of goats and sheep. They say that they eat every poisonous plant that grows in the land.
