Pongaroa. Dear Fairiel, We went out fishing yesterday, but as we did not get any bites, we left our rods set and went bird-nesting instead. Wlyle we, were looking for nests we came across a rabbit’s burrow. We dug it out and found that there were four little bunnies in it. When we were bringing them home we found a sheep with a lamb caught up in some lawyer, so we let him free. Our cow calved yesterday, the calf is so pretty, it is a heifer. We are going to keep him. We have a hen sitting just now on 13 eggs. Well I will close now, with love from your elf. Stafford Kent, aged 12. Pongaroa. • • • • Dear Fairiel. The Sunday before last I went for > swim, and it was lovely. I could not get wet at first but I was racing x friend up and down in the water ind I fell in and got wet, my two sisters went in, too. . The . bathing sheds are just in front of our place and they are all fixed up with new seats and they are weeded and look quite nice. On the roof of our school, there is a pigeon’s nest, and we saw the pigeon building it, and now it is sitting on it, we see it every morning when we are marching into school. Your loving fairy.
