A SUNDAY AT TUI

Dear Alice, It is awfully hot here to-day and I feel like going for a swim. Yesterday was a very hot day too but I think today is even hotter. Won’t Ibe glad when swimming time comes too! I suppose poor White Rabbit has a fan in his paw and is fanning himself today. lam sure you wouldn’t mind him fanniug you to keep you cool either. I wish someone would just come and fan me anyway. lam just going to tell you about our motor trip to Tui that we took last Sunday. We have bought a new car so we thought we would go for a motor trip to “try it out.” Sunday was nice and sunny in the morning so we all left at about ten o’clock. My eldest sister and grandma stayed home and looked after our visitors who came unexpectedly that day. We had a lovely ride to Tui although the road was rather rough and dusty. There isn't much to see going up there so we weren’t very interested in the countryside. We ax-rived at my uncle’s place at about dinner time and then, after dinner, Rita and my two brothers and myself went into the bush. We found it awfully cool in there too. We dug some young trees out and came back to the house. I had a look at sonte books that aunty gave me and then Rita, Maurice and I tried to tame two ol' uncle's calves but they were much wilder than ours. We had a good time though and as we had to milk when we got home we left at 2.45 p.m. We arrived home with our trees and then planted them. We were all tired so went to bed early that night.—Winnie Nisbett (14 years), 88 Valley.
