  1. The Animals we have at home are cows, horses, pigs, goats, donkeys, and calves.
    The cows have got names such as Kate, Mary Ann, and Brian.
    The vows are called by "Che" Che"
    The cowhouse is called the byre.
    The cows are tied with chains, by the neck.
    The chains are not home made.
    Very seldom a branch is put over the byre to bring good luck on the stock.
    In the stable, there is a wooden length to separate each horse from each other.
    When the eggs are being set for hatching, a mark with a blue pencil is put on each egg.
