BR#7 "A Hot Day at the Farm"

Murray Pile. "A Hot Day at the Farm". Australia: Macmillan Education Australia Pty Ltd. 2004.

In this story, there are Pig, Cow, Horse, Sheep, Duck, and Dog. They live with Farmer Fred together. One day, Fred tells Dog, "I'm going to the beach to cool down so you guys stay here and look after the farm", and leaves. The animals are jealous of him so they decide to get out farm and go to somewhere for cool down. They find trees. They across the farmyard, past the hayshed, past the tractor, up the hill, and up to the trees. But Cheep says, "It is not cool here, so shall we go on?" They go on and on, finally they find a stream. Pig can't swim well but other animals help her. They cool down and back to the farm.


I think the farmer Fred should take them to the beach because it is hot so they might be die. When Pig went under in the stream, other animals helped her. It is beautiful thing and it moved my mind. I didn't know the cheep can swim. (189/7886words)
