Julio loves to visit his grandmother . He doesn’t get to visit her very often because his family lives in a city that is six hours away .His grandmother lives in a big wooden house on a farm .It is old and looks as if it has secret hiding places .
On the third Sunday of June ,Julio’s parents took him to his grandmother’s .Since it was summer vacation, he was going to stay at grandmother’s for a whole summer . Hid cousins Mario and linda would soon be arriving. They would also be staying at their grandmother’s this summer .
A big porch (走廊) wrapped (缠绕)around two sides of the house .Julio sat in the porch swing (秋千).He could see the trees that circle the house .They had been planted as a windbreak (防风林).They protected the house from the wind and blowing dirt .The house was in the middle of a large flat field .
Julio watched the dirt road that led to the house .He couldn’t wait for his cousins to get there .Mario was his age ,and Linda was a year younger .They had fun together .Last summer they spent one whole morning making a fort out of sacks of seed (装种子的麻袋做成的堡垒).Then Uncle Henry took them on a tractor ride.
Julio remembered another time with his cousins .They had gone out to explore the fields .Julio touched an electric fence and got a shock .Then they found an old snake skin. Nothing like that ever happened at his own home !
Julio could smell the dinner that his grandmother was cooking .It made him hungry .
Finally he saw a cloud of dust coming up the road .“They’re here ! They are here !”He shouted .
