Sarah Davis lives in Dalton, Australia, and her parents own a sheep farm there. Dalton is a small country town with one hundred people. The nearest city is over one hundred and fifty kilometres away, so Sarah doesn' t often go there. She likes her life on the farm. She and her brother Jeff go to the school in town. In summer it's usually very hot, so the school day starts early at half past seven and finishes at noon. At the moment, their father Jack Davis is working in the woolshed (羊圈). It' s the sheep-shearing (剪羊毛) season and six men are shearing his sheep. He is putting the good wool (羊毛) and the bad wool in different places. Sarah is taking the good wool to the wool store. The work in the woolshed is hard, but Sarah and Jeff don't mind because it' s good fun. Jeff enjoys working with the animals. When he isn' t helping his father, he reads books about farming. He is going to college next year to study farming. When they finish in the woolshed, Sarah and Jeff are going for a swim in the river. They often go to the river for a swim.
