NEWS FROM CENTRAL TAKAKA
I am in bed with asthma and it is a nasty thing to have, too, because you can hardly breathe. It is teeming with rain and I am hoping it will fill our tank up. The tank is about eight feet high and six feet wide. It is made of cement, which is six inches thick. I have started my exams, and I am hoping I will not fail. I have come top three times and have had two certificates. My sister Rona has got three bantam chickens and a bantam hen. Dad sat an old black hen and she hatched ten eggs out.
