Uncle Tom has a small farm．He has a lot of chickens there．He sells eggs and chickens．Every summer, during the holidays, I go to his farm and help him．I feed(喂) the chickens, collect(收……)and clean the eggs．It is very interesting, and Uncle Tom pays me something for my help．

　　Twice(两次)a week we put the eggs in boxes and take them to town．There my uncle sells them．He gets quite a lot of money from them．Then he sometimes buys food for the chickens．He buys it in big bags because that is cheaper．

　　My uncle's hens are rather(特别)stupid(愚蠢)and noisy, I think．They are very useful because they lay the eggs, but I don't like them very much．I prefer the baby chickens and the cocks．

　　My uncle has some white ducks, too．They live on a pond(池塘)on his farm．There is a low(矮的)wall round the pond, with a small gate in it．Every evening my uncle puts a tin of food near the gate, and the ducks come up out of the pond to eat it．Then my uncle shuts(关)the gate, and the ducks eat their food and go into their box．They sleep there at night．
