第18章 Lesson 17: A Visit to a Petting Farm

Today my class visited a petting farm in the countryside. We saw many animals at the farm. There were goats and pigs. They were fun to watch.

We also watched the farmer milk his cow. He let us try, but it was not easy.

There were some ponies, too. We all had a chance to ride a pony. My pony's name was blaze. It was a lot of fun.

There was a strawberry patch at the petting farm. We all picked some strawberries and ate them after lunch. They tasted so sweet!

I had a great day at the petting farm.
