    Tallow
    The tallow is poured out into the mould and you should put in a woolen thread and put it down into the mould and tie the nail with the thread, When the tallow is dry pull the nail and you bring out the candle.
    Basket
    You start weaving under one and outside the other.
    Get a long rod and bend the two ends of them nearly together. Then get five rods and tie them together with twigs and weave them and in half an hour the skee is made.
