COMPOSITION ON CLOTHING

Here is one little boy's composition on clothing. Can you write a better one? - ' The first place it comes from is off the backs of sheep. In' some towns like Australia and Cape Colony ,. millions of sheep are kept. They are killed and their skins are sent to the factories to be made into wool. In summer the sheep do not want so much wool, so they get it washed and cut off, and- they pack it -up in bales, and the farmers send it to the nearest railway station. The farmer washes the sheep, and then he stands them- up to dry, and then shaves all the wool* off. Some boys have to sell newspapers so as to get clothing or something else to eat. When the cotton is ready to .be "cut down, the people slip out and catch slaves. The cotton is packed in bills, and sent to England. If we could not get wool, we would n« cold, as we would only be able to ware cloth coats, so you see the value of cotton.'
