Farm Trip

The llamas were big.
They are fluffy. They are
related to the camel. When
They are angry their ears go
back and they spit.
One of our favorite parts of the
farm were the baby kittens in the
Llama’s pen. They were too little
for us to hold.

21.
There were many apples.
The ones on the ground
were called “windfalls”.
