- (continued from previous page)We have one horse. Her name is Moll. We give her hay and oats. Some people always keep an old horseshoe in the stable for luck. If the shoe falls it is a sign that something is going to happen to the horse. We give her straw for a bed. She is a young horse.
We have forty hens and four ducks. When we are feeding the hens we call "tins, tins, tins." We hatch eggs every year for young chickens. It is unlucky to hatch them in June. If the chickens are near coming out and thunder comes it would kill the chickens. When we are feeding the ducks we call "feed, feed, feed."
