"Farmers Work Hard"

Barry is a farmer, and he owns twenty acres of land. On the land, he grows
lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, and corn. He also raises chickens and rabbits. Barry’s wife,
Susan, helps with the farm chores. Seven days a week, they wake up early, eat breakfast,
and then start to work. First they feed the chickens and rabbits, and then they clean the
barn. Next, they gather the eggs the hens have laid. By ten o’clock, they start working in
