Van, a student from Ho Chi Minh City, is an exchange student in the USA. He is
now living with the Parker family on a farm 100 kilometers outside Columbus, Ohio.
He will stay there till the beginning of October.

Mr. Parker grows maize on his farm, while Mrs. Parker works part - time at a grocery
store in a nearby town. They have two children. Peter is the same age as Van, and Sam
is still in primary school.

Since Van arrived, he has been learning a lot about life on a farm. In the afternoon,
as soon as he completes his homework, he feeds the chickens and collects their eggs.
On weekends, if Mr. Parker is busy, the three boys help him on the farm.

On Saturday afternoon, Peter plays baseball. The Parker family and Van eat
hamburgers or hot dogs while they watch Peter play. The Parkers are nice so Van feels
like a member of their family.
