IN THE FARM
I stay at my uncle’s farm every summer. I
wake up very early morning to gather duck
eggs. Before the sun goes up, my cousin
Celso and I drive the goats to the grassy hill
to graze. There is plenty of grass to eat so the
goats are full within an hour. By this time
Uncle Pastor is busy among his vegetable
plants. Celso and I help him pull the weeds
or cultivate the soil until lunch time which is
around twelve noon. After lunch, I lean
against the trunk of a huge acacia tree and
take a nap for about half an hour.
