    We have a horse a cow and a calf at home. The horse is of a brown colour the cow is of a black colour, and the calf is of a white colour.
    We call the horse Charlie, and the cow darkie, and the calf whitie. When we call them by their names they come running up to the field to us.
    We have a nice house for them. It is covered with galvanized iron. I feed the calf every night and morning with milk and hay.
