TWO years ago I enjoyed an
Il ideal vacation. It was ideal
because the vacation months were
spent in doing many necessary
and useful things. AS I had had
many vacations, tho not an ideal
one, I decided to make this one
so. The Summer months were
very hot but in spite Of that I
tried to carry out my plan.
I spent much of my time in
reading important and interest
ing books which I had not had
time to read while attending
school. AS mother had been busy
all winter in doing the washing
and ironing, I now took part and
made the work easier for her. /
