My Uncle Tom has a small farm.  He has a lot of chickens.  Twice a week we put the eggs in
the boxes and take them to the town. There my uncle sells them.  He gets a lot of money.
     My uncle's hens are rather stupid and noisy, I think. They are very useful because they lay
(下) the eggs, but I don't like them very much.  I like the baby chickens and the cocks.  My uncle
has some white ducks, too. They often play in a pond (池塘) at his farm. There are rows of
trees around the pond.
