May

Juan came to our ranch this month with his troop of revolutionaries. They came to raid our ranch and take all our animals. Mama hid all our important animals inside the house and protected the house from the revolutionaries. I must say, because of the war my mother has learned great tactics to protect the ranch, our house, and our family. She made the revolutionaries scared to come inside the house, holding a small pistol and telling them that she can make a quick, perfect shot. The revolutionaries got away with stealing a good amount of our chickens, and they stole the doves that coo and keep me company when I am lonely. The revolutionaries can become a great nuisance when they come to our ranch. I was sad that so many of our birds were killed. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.doolittlefarmyarn.com/images/chickens.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.doolittlefarmyarn.com/chickens.php&usg=__SRJwJQ7jOWsafOwQp8byJ3h80iM=&h=480&w=640&sz=100&hl=en&start=6&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=WLm9g03QhpEveM:&tbnh=103&tbnw=137&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dchickens%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4DMUS_enUS283US291%26tbs%3Disch:1
