Pechu was big and brown, and Leo was white with brown spots. They had been planning to run away because the owner was very cruel with them and wanted to kill Pechu, because he was old and couldn't lead the sheep or protect the house. They decided to do it at night while the man was sleeping. They had planned on meeting in the forest but Leo didn't know that Pechu was locked in his kennel, so he waited and waited but Leo didn't appear so Leo thought that something was wrong so he trotted back as fast as he could...When he got to the house he saw Pechu in the kennel and the man holding an axe; Leo neighed raising his legs and furiously hit the door and broke it. The farmer was so sacred and nervous that he dropped the axe and hid under the table. Leo kicked the kennel so Pechu could got out it.

First when we were in the bus I was very borred, but when we arrived I went with my friends to some shops and we enjoyd that free time, because we laught a lot and took some pictures.Then we went to a concert of a particular music, it was so interesant but there were many rude people and they laught so sometimes we couldn't hear very well. Later we went to Peñafiel Castle to saw a museum and the different parts of the castle. I really enjoyed the trip and I had a great time with my classmates and some of the teachers.
