My past holidays When I was child I used to go in the countryside in my summer holidays, in the south of Italy, where my parents had a little house shared with my uncle. I loved to go there, because I was free to go around, alone or with my cousins. There were also some animals, which made the holidays more exciting: dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, chickens, and also many of the little animals that you can usually find in the country, like frogs, dragonflies, butterflies, gekos, lizard, and so on. I and my cousins made huts with canes and played like indians. With the thin and flexible branches of the olive trees, we made slingshots, using the inner tube of the bycicles like elastic, and putting inside little stones or unripe olives. We dug holes to hide treasures inside. I remember with pleasure the holidays when I was young, because they were fun and relaxing, without worries and responsabilities.
