This book was written by: Robert leeson
This is a book about a girl called Kari and her husband called Ola. They both live on a farm with their baby, the cow and the pig that they are saving for later in the year, for their ham,pork chops and bacon.
Ola goes ot every morning over the hill to the farm to work while Kari stays at home and cooks cleans, tidies up, feeds the cow and pig and looks after the baby. Every evening kari goes over the hill to call out to Ola that his dinner is ready, but one evening she forgot to go and call out to him as she lost track of time while she was tending to the porridge and playing with the baby. Ola saw that and he thought she doesnt do any work other then cook the porridge and play with the baby, so Kari said to him let us swap our duties for the day.
Ola agrees and then he sid to himself this is easy, but he did not realise that Kari feeds the cow and the pig, and then she milks the cow so that she can churn the butter and then she tidys the house and washes and then feeds the baby and then cooks his dinner for him.
He then goes and milks the cow and then gets ready to churn the milk but it takes too long for him to churn the butter so he goes into the cellar for a dring of beer. As he was getting his drink the pig got in and spilt all butter and the baby was covered in butter, and then he remembered that the cow needs feeding so he directed the cow to the roof and tidied him to his leg so that the cow does not slip. But it all went wrong when the cow started moving and Ola made such a mess that he didnt even make Karis dinner or feed and clean the baby. When Kari got home and she saw what had happened she was not happy with him.

I liked reading this book because it makes you realise that everybody works hard at whatever jobs that are doing. Ola thought that he could do all the jobs for Kari without any problems but he made alot of mess. This story has also taught me to appreciate what everyone does for me, especially my mum and dad.
