Private Life

In this book, we encounter five animals that enrich our farms, backyards, or rural landscapes. These chapters go beyond first impressions to reveal hidden habits and gentle rhythms. One might be a surefooted goat climbing rocky slopes in search of a tasty branch. A pig might surprise us with keen intelligence and a taste for playful mischief. Perhaps a rabbit scurries through tall grass, ears ever twitching for signs of trouble.

Each story explores their instincts and small secrets. We see how goats butt heads to claim rank or how pigs wallow in mud for comfort and hygiene. We glimpse rabbits grooming each other in gentle reassurance. Day by day, they search for food, share space, and react to new sights or scents. They express themselves in tail flicks, ear tilts, or low sounds we barely notice. Their hidden world is quiet and often overshadowed by our busy lives. In reading these stories, we sharpen our empathy. We learn that each creature has a personal routine, an emotional range, and a capacity for both cunning and care. This book shows that a yard or a barn is not merely a place of work but also a stage for countless moments of animal drama and community.
