    time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers'
    exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent the day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a
    path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the
    top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we
    could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.
