We had all the usual animals when living in the bush. Chooks and ducks among them. For some reason they were going missing, and one day Mum saw a huge eagle going for one of the chooks.
Now Mum had never used a rifle in her life, but she ran inside and grabbed Dads rifle and his box of very precious and expensive bullets, and started firing at this eagle in the sky.
She used a lot of Dads bullets, and surprise surprise one of those bullets hit the flying target and down the poor thing came.
Mum was so proud of herself, but Dad when he saw how many bullets Mum had used was not so happy!
My sister and I went to a tiny school with no more than a dozen children, and we were given this huge clydsdale by a neighbor to ride to school, we must have looked rather cute on this huge animal, but sadly we didn,t tie old Model up properly and she decided to wander off. It was many month later that dear old Model was found safe and well.
