Friendship Bonds: An Epic Story (3)

   * * * KYLE THIRU * * *

        It was another morning. The rooster in our backyard crowed loudly beside my bedroom window. Yes, we have roosters in our backyard. Welcome to my world. We also have 2 cows - one mama and one kid - , a couple of goldfish in an aquarium in the hall, an entire family of cute rabbits and a stable of horses.  Everyday, I have the job responsibility, to feed ALL of them. Everyday. Sure, its tiring, but since I like animals, its not that bad compared to my siblings. 

    Well, my family isn't poor or anything. Its just that we love, love, love animals, and my parents like, rent or sell animals to people around here. Plus, my father is more of a countryman, not a cityman, if you know what I mean. He bought a medium-sized bungalow surrounded by lots and lots of land. He can talk forever about a single WEED. My mom, of course, totally agrees with him. So, here we are, in the middle of nowhere. Although I must admit, this place is quite nice.

    I have a younger sister, Amala Anne, ( it was her idea to get the bunnies ) who is 11 years old and a younger brother, Murali Joe, who's the baby of the house. ( He's not actually a baby, he's 6, but he acts like one. ) I'm the oldest, 13. Now let's continue about my day.
