A Visit to the Farm - Anusri Majumdar

Two years ago, when I was in class two my father took my friend Aanya and I to visit an exciting place which was a surprise for our vacation. It was our summer holidays.  On one sunny morning of August, he suddenly asked me to get ready and call my best friend over. My mother had already left for work, so dad packed our breakfast and extra snacks for the day. I asked him where were we going but he said it was a surprise.

 

We took a bus and after about 20 minutes we arrived at a place which looked like a forest. We walked until we reached the gate.  I finally knew that the place was Hounslow Urban Farm. Father was smiling seeing the excitement in our faces. As we walked through the farm, we saw so many different animals kept so well in different places. The man who was giving us the tour let us touch the horse, rabbit, pigs and the chicks. We clicked pictures with the animals.  It was so much fun.

 

We were sad to leave the animals when it was time to return home but the day was a memorable one. We learned so many things at the farm like not feeding the animals, washing our hands before and after touching the animals, no teasing and shouting in-front of them etc. Some animals were photo-sensitive so we were not allowed to take pictures everywhere. At the end, it was a fun filled day!
