She bails up, and then we milk her, and then let her out again. We have two pet lambs; their names are Billy and Tommy. We feed them three times a day. They are all white. The little lambs are always singing out for their food. They are fed by a bottle. We have a little house for them to sleep in at night. I often go out in the paddock to see the cattle feeding on the green grass. Edna Taylor, aged 11, Aratapu, N.
