I learned to identify bird’s calls, animal grunts and read signs left by animals. I discovered the intricacies and techniques involved in planting vegetables and flowers..Though older, I noticed that Uncle Sam is just as lively as ever. Maybe the hard work and the clean air in the countryside contributed to his glowing health.

My Uncle Sam lives in a small farm ten miles from the town in which I stay. He plants vegetables and flowers for the market. In addition he has a small fish fond in which he rears many types of fishes. With his wife, three young children and a couple of workers, Uncle Sam manages his farm reasonably well. They have an old jeep for transport their products to market and for sending the children to school.
Identify Bird’s Calls

Every holiday I go and stay with Uncle Sam. In fact he always makes sure that I visit him. Maybe I am his favorite nephew as he is my favorite uncle. Once I am in his farm I really enjoy myself. Uncle Johnny will teach and show me all sorts of things. He taught me how to fix a fishing line and how to land a fish. I learned to identify bird’s calls, animal grunts and read signs left by animals. I discovered the intricacies and techniques involved in planting vegetables and flowers. I can even predict the weather quite accurately by smelling the air and observing the clouds. In short Uncle Sam has and is still showing me the wonderful world of nature, one that is so alien to those who live in towns.
