But I still did something that the old Goebbels would not have done because of the whole I am trying to lead a life of heroic virtue thing. Today I left my little shack after my second lunch and I wandered around the farmyard this way and that and I found my way into the barn and I checked on the lamb and for the first time I met a new friend as there is a new pig on the farm and her name is Petunia and she was very nice.
I told her that the pig who was here before her was the one who taught me how to understand English and I said to her if there was ever anything I could do for her then she should let me know and she told me that she appreciated that and that she would take me up on that offer.
The lamb was cold but she said she was doing fine and she was staying close to her mother and she hoped I was doing fine in my shack and I said that yes I have my friends to keep me warm and she gave me a funny look and I remembered that she does not know what a Twitter is.
The chickens were clucking this way and that as I walked past them and I did not pay them any mind because I know how important it is to get out and see my friends and hopefully make their days a little better.
Then I spent all afternoon on Twitter learning about something that will make you so happy.
Do you know about something called the Olympics?
There are so many interesting pictures of people doing all sorts of crazy things like being on giant hills with sticks attached to their feet and sitting in a tiny sled and going very fast and they are competing for things called medals and a gold medal is the best and a bronze is also good and from what i have read tonight it seems that people who get the silver medal are divided on whether or not it is a good thing because some people are sad about their silver but maybe that is because they were just oh so close to gold.
I have used www.google.com tonight to learn about the history of the Olympics and here are the things I have learned.
The Olympics originated in ancient Greece. Greece! I know!
Not only do people in Greece get to eat tzatziki but they started the whole Olympics. They are amazing, wow, they really are. I think I want to be Greek.
The Olympics are held every four years and there is a winter Olympics and a summer Olympics, although I do not know how they can be on ice and snow in the summer but I will read more about that.
So many countries take part in the Olympics and it seems to be a thing that can truly bring the people of the world together.
I enjoyed reading about the Olympics and it gave me a hopeful spirit because sometimes there are some not nice things on Twitter but almost everything I have seen about the Olympics has been positive.
Maybe I could start an Olympics here on the farm? I have no idea how I would do that but the thought is nice, isn't it?
Anyway, this turkey is tired and I hope all you beautiful people have a wonderful night.
I am going to go to sleep, once again, dreaming of tzatziki.
Good night, everyone.
