Narrative:

Ruslan lived in Jordan for about three years. He lived on a mountain in a house that was isolated from the other houses; the only house you could see was his great uncle’s house that was a while away. His family owned a farm that he enjoyed visiting and climbing the trees and eating the fruit. He has spent time there learning to speak Arabic and running around the city. He has many cousins that are his age and many other ages. He loves animals and had about forty cats at his house in Jordan. His family also had two chickens and three roosters, two of which his family raised from chicks. He has moved five or six times in his life.
