6月14日 Getting ChickensSvitak Newsflash: We'll be recieving eight chickens to take care of as pets. My sister, Adrianna, who will have the prime responsibility of caring for them, has deigned to allow me to name one of the chickens. I have decided I will name the chicken "Octavia". They are to bear the last name Svitak. I can already imagine our creaky suburb house being turned into a barn. Here are my looks into the future:
It was, to the viewer, not a respectable house; the garage's window was cracked and bedecked in the excrement of birds; the car shared the latter trait. The front door was fine enough, but of a plain white color with a great brass doorknob which looked to intimidate the visitor; the blue, concrete entrance path looked as though a sweeping was greatly needed.
The windows looked onto rooms ravaged by posters, and the whims of nine-and-eleven-year-olds. The backyard appeared the most decrepit; alas! to see such waste of land, woodchips scattered over a place where a garden might have grown, a rotted stump-hovel in place of majestic tree-villa, and a shed haunted by ghost cats and spiderwebs and the pieces of plywood left from the other generation.
There were eight spots of light in this backyard, though dull it seemed; one of these specks of light appeared to strut with majesty, as would fit a demigod; another bent its head, and foraged for treasures among the woodchips like an impoverished ragpicker; four more walked briskly, together, companions in their principality, of the middle-class; and two others, vivacious, flapped down the slide.
These "specks of lights" are the chickens, and, while these looks have only a grain of truth,
I shall now make this time to say farewell with a flourish of my tricorn (if only!),
GOOD-BYE. 引用通告此日志的引用通告 URL 是： http://adorasvitak.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!FC134AE1FFBF1409!289.trak 引用此项的网络日志
