    Long ago the children used to pull the rushes and weave them into hats and caps and bring them to a point. They would get the nicest flowers in the farm and stick them here and there in the hats.
    When the children used to play at shops they would get a crock of sand and decorate it around with fairy fingers and other flowers.
    When they would see a person going along the road come here sir and buy some flowers and they would enjoy themselves all the day.
    In the Summer the children picked daisies and put a stitch of thread through the hearts of them so as to make necklaces.
