Australian Adventure, Chapter One

 Chapter One

Thomas went to a river to fish. He caught two eel-tailed catfish and a golden perch using a fishing rod that he had bought at his last trip to town. Then he went foraging for edible plants and found a midyim berry (kind of berry, similar to blueberry but white) plant and a brown pine (tree - it grows Illawarra plums). Then he went home and cooked the fish and then he and Herder ate it. After that, Thomas cut down a small wollemi pine tree and dragged it into the cow pen.

    It sounds like Thomas had a very productive day! I have never hear of those kinds of plums nor of the midyim berries. I love learning from you Yan! Love, Grandma

No school!

My sisters and I are home schooled, and the last week we didn't have to do school, doing fun activities instead, such as volleyball, egg and spoon race, and a game in which there are two teams who take turns carrying as much water as they can from one bowl to another in cups on their heads, spilling as least water as they can. The team with the most water in the 2nd bowl at the end of the game wins!
