Island Adventure, Chapter Three

Recently, Joseph had been very lucky in his hunting and had been able to trade a lot of meat and animal skins, and had made enough money to buy either a Fleuve horse (Senegalese (country in north-west Africa) horse breed) or a N'Dama (north-west African cow breed, always light brown but different shades) cow. He decided on a Fleuve horse, as horses don't eat as much or need as much land. He built a fence around a piece of land about one and a half acres with about half an acre of it with a roof in case it rained, made of laurel (tree with very hard wood) wood. When he had finished building it, he went to a village and bought a bay (horse coat color. It is dark brown with a black mane and tail) Fleuve horse. After a few months he had enough money to buy a female N'Dama cow.

  1. WOW! He must have made a lot of money from hunting. Those animals seem expensive! I hope he has enough land for them.

    1. Well, he did have a lot of money, although a Fleuve horse is only a riding horse, not a racehorse, so it would only cost around 700 dollars, or 525 pounds.

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!
