- (continued from previous page)old walls and ditches that were built near those houses. There were about ten or eleven houses long ago that are in this condition today.
There are no old people in the village. There are about twenty or twenty-one people living in this village.
All the people that are in this village are very nice to each other. They are always willing to help each other in their troubles. At Christmas when we have the long nights the old people go to some house and spend their night there cardplaying or something else to amuse themselves. The young people go visiting or for a walk.
In the Summer this village looks a lot nicer than in Winter. Everyday that you go out in Summer you will see all the children haymaking or playing. In Winter if you go out the place looks very wet and dreary.
