Letters to Mama

Dear Mama,

Just want to tell you that me, Anna, and the others have finally arrived in the city! We are doing well, mama. Just a bit exhausted from the travel, I guess, but very very very excited, nonetheless.

Oohh! It's quite something, mama! The sights! The sounds! The smells! Oh, the smell, mama.. You remember one time when I had too much potatoes for dinner? If I ate what I pooped back then, and then pooped it back, it would still not be comparable to the smell here!

And the people, mama! How many people there are! And they are all so friendly, mama. Everyone was pointing, laughing, you know, giving us their warmest city greeting. I remember telling Anna that we should try to say hello back to them, but she wouldn't have any of it. (She's a bit sad, you know, with her leaving Farmer John, and all. She said no one could possibly love her the way Farmer John did.)

The travel here was nice enough, mama. Wind blowing in our faces, all the different views. It would have been just perfect save for the way we were all just crammed into the car. I've forgotten how many butts my face ended up in during the travel!

The place we're staying at is also not so bad. When we arrived, the people working at the place came out to greet us and bring us to our rooms. They told us to hurry (maybe they had other guests, I think), and were even hitting some of us with sticks (oh don't ask me, I guess there's still a lot to learn about these city folk!).

Anyway, we're off to sleep now! They've turned off the lights, already. I'll write you tomorrow.

Yours,
Bobby

Dear Mama,

Second day in the city!

The people working at the place came early in the morning and took Anna and some of the guys out. I think they're showing them the city. The rest of us, they just left here.

Had a good meal today. The people working at the place even brought our food to our room!

I never noticed it was so loud here! Once in a while, you can hear someone screaming. I guess the city has that kind of effect - it makes you so excited that you could just SCREEEAAAAM! as if your life depended on it.

Anyway, I'm feeling so sleepy now. Kind of a boring day actually. I wonder what time Anna and the other guys are coming back.

Write you tomorrow!

Yours,
Bobby

Dear Mama,

Anna and the others have not yet returned! And what's more, the people working at the place came again this morning to take some of the other guys out! You should have heard me just screaming my lungs out so I could get chosen as well. I think one of the people working at the place found my screaming too adorable because he was hitting me quite hard with the stick!

Oooh, I'm just getting so jealous now thinking about all the fun the others are having outside. Anyway, there's just 5 of us here now, so I'm quite certain I'll get chosen tomorrow!

They brought our food to our room again today. I forgot to mention it yesterday but the food here is quite different from what we were used to having in the farm. I cannot really describe it! Strangely enough, eating the food here makes me think about the day I had a fight with Manny when we were little.. Remember that, mama? Remember when I bit his ear off? Oooh, his mother got so mad at me.. hee hee

The screaming here is getting a bit to my nerves, now. I can imagine how others can get so excited, but it's just getting so tiring.

Anyway, I think I'll sleep early tonight. Got a big day tomorrow!

Write you tomorrow!

Yours,
Bobby

Dear Mama,

Cannot really write so much now! I've been chosen! The people at the place came and stamped me something red. Don't know really what it means. I think it's a day pass to the city. Anyway, I'll write you back later! We're off to the city! I heard one of the people working at the place saying we're going to some laughter house first. Hee hee wonder how funny it is!

Love you,
Bobby
