There are nine persons there, Grandpa, Grandma, Mr and Mrs Green, their daughter Jessie, their son Jimmy, Mrs Green's brother Mike and his wife Donna, their son Pam. Grandma and Grandpa are sitting near the fireplace. The children are sitting around them. All the families are enjoying an old photo album.
Jessie: Grandma, who is this pretty girl?
Grandma: Haha, it's me. I was in my father's farm.
Jimmy: Wow, how beautiful! What did you do on the farm?
Grandma: I fed the hens and milked the cows every day.
Grandpa: I rode the horse, plowed the ground and watered the plants.
Grandma & Grandpa: Farm life was very hard, but really interesting. We sat on the bench and saw the sunset every day. How sweet!
