Lesson Fifty-six Part Two Our neighbour,the river

Why had the neighbours left their farm?

We welcome the seasons by the riverside, crowning the youngest girl with flowers in the spring, holding a summer festival on the Midsummer eve, giving thanks for harvest in the autumn, and throwing a holly wreath into the current in the winter. After a long period of rain, the river may overflow its banks. This is a rare occurrence,as our climates seldom goes to extremes. We are lucky in that only the lower fields which make up a very small proportion of our farm are affected by flooding. But other farms are less favourably sited, and flooding can sometimes spell disasters for their owners. One bad winter, we watched the river creep up the lower meadow. All the cattle had been moved into stalls and we stood to lose little. We were, however, worried about our nearest neighbours whose farm was low lying, and who were new comers to the district. As the floods had put the telephone out of order, we can not find out how they were managing.
