My last holidays
Afua spend most of her holidays in her village. She went to the rice fields with her aunt and her cousin Janet five
days a week. They left the village early in the morning because the field were very far and they had to walk for
about thirty minutes. It was tiring but she liked it. On the way, she saw beautiful flowers and heard the chirping
of the birds in the trees, and she liked the fresh morning dew on her legs.
The other two days she helped her aunt in the kitchen in the morning and played with her friend all the afternoon.
Then she paid visits to some relatives in the evening.
She enjoyed herself a lot because she had time to do everything she wanted. There were some other grammar
school pupils in the village, with whom she could discuss school matters for hours and hours.
