SHEPHERDESSES

"I am .going to tell you about mv» tering in a paddock which we call the Old Burn. One morning about 10 "' o'clock we went up to the Old Burn, and my cat, Turpie, -followed, my sister Shirley, and I. We went along a creek and collected the sheep from there. Then we went up a steep gully, and Turpie was still following us. When we reached the top of the gully we saw a ewe with a little lamb. Wa were very hot when we had climbed the top of the gully, so we sat down on a log, then Shirley said she heard; another lamb, and so she didf I chased; down the first one we saw, while Shirley chased down the one we had just seen. While I was chasing down my lamb Shirley called out that she had_ found another lamb, so that made three • lambs we found that day.* We already had six lambs, so that made nine altogether, I love little lambs, and the first motherless lamb we are going to have for a pet. We had six. pet lambs last year and a * baby* goat." • "TOMTIT" <S). Te Kuiti.
