   There are a lot of herbs growing on my farm. There grows the docks, thistles and the bohalans. The people give those herbs to birds and animals. They give the docks to the pigs and they give the nettles to the turkeys. They drink the milk of the dandelion for a cold. The cows eat the thistles and the sheep eat the boghlans.
