Subject:So busy!
From:Crystal
Hi Jake,
Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner.
I have so many chores to do today.
I have to do my homework,of course.
I started about an hour ago,but I haven't
finished.
Then I have to take the dog for a walk,
water my mom's plants and do some shopping.
I haven't done any of those things yet
because my grandfather came to chat with me.
He loves talking and I love listening to him.
He started telling me about all of the chores
he had to do when he was a kid.
He had to get up at 5 am to chop wood and light
the fire for breakfast.
Then he had to collect water from the village well.
Then he had to feed the animals-he and his
family lived on the farm.
Anyway,I have to run now.
Take care,Crystal
