Farm work can be demanding when you have to give six thirsty lambs something to drink at the same time. Two eight-year-old girls have tried this in recent weeks, using among other things a special bottle with three spouts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

It’s hard to decide whether to translate directly and say “giving them something to drink” or just say “feed”. I don’t know why we have a verb for giving food but not drink \ud83d\ude42 I guess you sometimes find water<\/em> used as a verb for animals, but it didn’t seem right here.<\/p>\n

Embla Bj\u00f6rg Sigur\u00f0ard\u00f3ttir and Inga Dan Ingad\u00f3ttir have been helping their neighbors in the Westman Islands with the care of six lambs. The lambs were taken into foster care when they had a difficult time, some in Bjarnarey, others in Heimaey. The fun really begins when the lambs are given milk to drink. The girls say that’s when the lambs get very excited and can break things.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

I also thought it was interesting to find two words that only have singular forms in the same paragraph. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
