65 My Uncle’s Farm

My Uncle Tom has a small farm. He has a lot of chickens. Every summer, during the holidays, I go to his farm and help him. I feed the chickens and collect and clean the eggs. Uncle Tom pays me something for my help.

Twice a week we put the eggs in boxes and take them to town. There my uncle sells them. He gets quite a lot of money for them.

My uncle's hens are rather stupid and noisy, I think. They are very useful because they lay the eggs, but I don's like them very much. I prefer the baby chickens and the cocks.

My uncle has some white ducks too. They live on a pond on his farm. There are rows of trees all around the pond. Every evening my uncle puts food under the trees, and the ducks come up out of the pond to eat it.

我叔叔的農場

我的湯姆叔叔有個小農場。他有很多小雞。每個夏天暑假的時候，我去他農場幫忙。我喂那些小雞，拾撿雞蛋，然后把它們擦干凈。對于我的幫助，湯姆叔叔付給我一點錢。 每星期兩次，我們把雞蛋放進盒子里拿到鎮上。我叔叔在那里把它們賣掉。這樣他掙了很多錢。

我覺得我叔叔的母雞真是又蠢又吵。雖然它們下蛋，很有用，但是我一點也不喜歡它們。我更喜歡雞寶寶和公雞。

我叔叔也有一些白色的鴨子。他們住在農場的池塘里。池塘四周是一排排的樹。每天傍晚，叔叔把食物放在樹下，鴨子就從池塘里出來吃食。
