I Like Animals
I like animals.
I like all kinds of animals.
I like big animals.
I like small animals.
I like cute animals.
I like scary animals.
We have got# a lot of animals.
When I say# a lot of animals,# I mean a lot of animals.
We have got:
two dogs
three cats
fifteen fish
two ducks
four hens
one rooster
ten, no eleven chicks
two sheep
one cow
and my favourite animal,# Betty, my horse.
We do not live# on a farm.
But we do live# in the country.
We have a great big yard.
Most of the animals# live outdoors.
Betty has a field# of her own.
It is my job# to clean her.
Every day,# at six in the morning,# I go to her field.
I give her food and water.
I clean out her straw.
And I brush her. 
I love brushing her.
She is so warm# in the cold mornings.
Sometimes I sing# when I am brushing her.
Sometimes I talk to her. 
She is a great listener! 
I also help# look after the other animals.
It is a lot of work.
We have to feed them all.
We have to milk the cow.
We have to collect the eggs.
We have to check they are okay.
But I love it.
I love it all.
