  1. We have four cows four calves and one horse on our farm.
    The names of the cows are Grey cow Big cow, White cow and Red cow.
    When we call the calves we say 'suck, suck'.
    The horse's name is Dolly.
    Long ago there were not many horses or cows in this district.
    The most cows any farmer had was two and a ass and few of the farmers had carts for thir asses it was bardogs they generally used.
    They would go to the market with the ass and bardogs and bring home their goods in the bardogs.
