2]On the ground in front of him slept Jacky,a yellow faithful farm dog,who was my good friend,
2] Along the left wall was a small-but-fine flower-bed,in which red roses were passionately in full bloom,
2] Along the right wall where I was stood a row of fishing sets,shining under the sun,
C]Looking at this peaceful and quiet scene,I suddenly felt so reluctant to leave for home in the downtown,

2]In front of me was the large hay barn surrouded by calves lying on the ground and switching their tails every now and then to wave away the slow-moving flies,
2]To my left I saw the tall stalks of the dark green corn motionless in the noonday sun,
3] They appeared to be resting as the earlier light breeze had completely disapeared,
2]To my near right was the big dairy barn,quiet now as though it were pausing before the afternoon milking began,
3] Even the bees and the butterflies that were checking out the red and pink roses in front of the diary seemed to be moving slowly in response to the noon heat,
2] Behind the diary barn and farther to my right lay the still water of the stock pond,
3] Reflecting the bright sunlight was its only pretense at activity,
2]Beyond the pond and the hay barn I saw the genltely rolling hills of the lush green pastures,
3]On the hills were large black and white milch cows,
4] Some were gazing,but most were lying under the few shade of trees to escape the noonday heat,
C]I felt a warm glow deep inside as I looked again at this peaceful scene that I had carried in my mind’s eye for the last several years,
