On Saturday all the children went to the country together with their parents. The weather was sunny and hot. (1)
When they came to the place, the children went to the field to play, and their parents started working in the garden.
When the children came up to the field, Fun- ny cried, "Oh, look at those big white dogs in the field! And they are eating grass! How funny!" Clever looked at him and smiled, "Is it the first time you are in the country?" she asked. (2)
"They are not dogs. Those animals are goats!" said Clever.
"Oh, goats! Now I know what they are like. I can make a poem about them. Listen!
Those big goats
Have got white coats
They're eating the grass
And looking at us!"
"Well done!" said Clever. "But I think, they aren't looking at us." (3)
"And Naughty is looking at you!" said Slow.
Naughty was red, "I'm not looking at her. I'm listening to her," he said.
"Let's go to the river," said Clever.
"But I haven't got my swim suit on," said Noisy. "And I haven't got my swimming trunks," said Funny. (4)
"The water in the river is too cold. But we can see horses and cows there. They usually go there to drink water."
When the children came to the river, Clever said sadly, "Oh, I can't see any cows or horses. I only can see a sheep."
"Oh, a ship!" cried Funny. "We can sail on it. It's better than cows and horses!"
(5)
"Funny, look, it's not a ship! It's a sheep!"
