Shearing Day

1Every spring, Selin visits her uncle Baran's sheep barn on shearing day. The sheep have thick, woolly coats after the long winter. Now the weather is warm, so the sheep need a haircut. Selin pulls on her boots and runs out to the barn.

2Uncle Baran holds a sheep gently and turns on the electric clippers. The clippers buzz loudly. He moves them slowly along the sheep's side, and the wool comes off in one big, fluffy piece. The sheep does not get hurt. It looks surprised and skinny without its coat!

3Selin has an important job. She picks up each fleece and carries it carefully to a long table. There, she and her cousin Kemal pull out bits of straw and sticky burrs. Then they roll the clean fleece into a neat bundle.

4By lunchtime, twelve sheep are trotting happily in the green field. Selin is tired, but she smiles proudly. "Next year," she says, "I want to learn how to use the clippers."
