“Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at west hill farm. good food., fresh air, horse riding,Walking,fishing, cheap and interesting.”
“This sounds a good idea,” He thought. “I’ll spend a month at west hill farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.” He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for west hill farm.But four days later, he returned home.
“What was wrong with west hill farm?” His best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?”
“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”
“Oh. what?”
“Well,” he said, “The first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”
“What's wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”
“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”
“Lucky you!”
“You don't understand,” Henry said. “On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”
“A different meat every day,” Ed said loudly, “ And you are complaining!”
“Let me finish,” Henry said. “On the fourth day the farmer died, and i didn't dare (敢)  stay for dinner!”

Questions
My 14th birthday is coming and I’m ready to plan my birthday party. I spent a lot of time planning my party to make it interesting. I was thinking about having a “Remember the Good Times” party. Everyone who is coming is going to graduate(毕业) soon. I thought I should put up some photos of my friends and pictures from popular television shows on the wall. The food could be the things we’ve always loved (hamburgers, ice creams and French fries). I don’t know if my idea is going to be good for my birthday party. What do you think, Miss Lee?
