Julio watched the dirt road that led to the house .He couldn’t wait for his cousins to get there .Mario was his age ,and Linda was a year younger .They had fun together .Last summer they spent one whole morning making a fort out of sacks of seed （装种子的麻袋做成的堡垒）.Then Uncle Henry took them on a tractor ride.
