IT'S BETTER LIVING IN THE COUNTRY

I believe living in the country is better for fitness, me, parents and grandparents. And I am going to tell you why and you will agree after you here this.

The country is better for fitness because there are heaps of hills to climb and you have to walk a long way to move stock. Me and Rhys ride our bikes down to the new wool shed a lot because we have a proper table tennis table down there in the shed. Also we go possum trapping in bush that is sometimes 2 or 3 kilometres away from home and we have to bike on the road up hill to go and check our 10 possum traps and we pluck then for possum fur and we sell it when we have 2 or 3 kilograms. And for cross country I just run around the field and up and down the hill a couple of times.

The country is better for me because I can build your own huts on the farm and it’s better because you can have more fun on the farm with your friends because there is more stuff to do. Also instead of swimming in the swimming pool in town we can swim in the river just below our house. You get to have a lot more pets than you do in town because there’s more room for sheep, calves, eels and dogs. I get to have pet eels because we have a pond and a river by my house and some nights I go down to the pond and feed the eels some cold raw meat and one of the eels is so friendly that it comes up to you and you can stroke it with out worrying about him biting you. Sometimes I can lift nearly his whole body out of the water. I have a dog could Pride and she’s a heading dog one day I want her to grow up to be a dog that I will take to the dog trials and beat some other adult contestants.

Our parents sometimes get petrol delivered to them by a big petrol truck, and you can work with heaps of animals as your job. Dad likes it in the country because he gets to work with his dogs. Also we get meat cheaper here than in town at the shops. Mum and Dad like bringing me and Rhys up where there are no gangsters and no bad people. Also they like not having noisy people next door like some people that live in the city. There’s not as much pollution here than there is in town.

Also our grandparents can come out and give their dogs some practise with some sheep on our hills to train their dogs for dog trials. My grandparents like coming to the country because they like the fresh air as well. Granddad Joe likes animals to and so does Granddad Brian. And Granddad Brian and Granddad Joe like helping dad on the farm.

I hope now you understand why it’s better in the country now I have talked to you about, fitness, why it’s better for me, our parents and our grandparents
