  1. Farm Animals

    The name of a cow I have at home is Blackie. Polly, Jessie and Daisy are other names for cows. The name of the house in which the cows are kept is called a byre. Our cow is tied with chains. Palm is very lucky in the cow-house. So is St Brighid's cross. When St Brighid was going round the world, the cattle were all dying. She plucked a handful of green rushes and made a cross. Then all the cattle got better.
