for my friend. Naturally, it was a great event for him. Finally, the days came. . It was
a fine morning. We got up very early because we wanted to leave home after
breakfast. We made the journey by bus. We reach my uncle’s farm at noon. After
lunch we spent many hours walking round the village to see the sights and walking
through the wood to look for bird’s nests.

breakfast, my uncle took us to a small lake not far from home. There, we fished and
