Peter is a student. In the summer vacation, he decided to spend two weeks at a farm. "This sounds a good idea. It seems different from staying at home,"he thought. He sent an e-mail to the farmer. He said that he would arrive at the farm on the morning of August 1st.

However, sixth days later, he returned home. “What’s wrong with the farm?” his brother asked him. "Didn't you enjoy country life?" "Country life was very good," Peter said. "But there was another problem." "What?" his brother asked. "Well," he said, "the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner." "What's wrong with that? Fresh meat is the best," his brother asked. “I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner. On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner. On the fourth and fifth day, we ate chicken and duck!” “How lucky you are. A different meat every day,” his brother said loudly, "and you are complaining!" "You don't understand," Peter said. "On the sixth day, the farmer died, and I didn't dare stay for dinner!"
