A
Nobody likes staying at home on a public holiday, especially if the weather is fine. Last August we decided to spend the day in the country. The only difficulty was that millions of other people had just the same idea. We moved out of the city slowly behind a long line of cars, but at last we came to a quiet country road. After some time, we stopped at a farm far from the town. We had brought plenty of food with us and we got it out of the car. Now everything was ready so we sat down near a path at the foot of a hill. It was very quiet on the cool grass until we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about two hundred sheep coming towards us down the path!
