    In Whitehill there is a very large
    green field called the "Fattening Park".
    In that field there are about seven
    acres of land. It is surrounded by a
    and there are no meshes in it.
    There is no water in it and it
    is almost all flat. It is called the
    "Fattening Park" because it was a great
    filed for fattening cattle when they
    were put into it.
