    Share Share Post
    All boys make pop - guns out of elder sticks by getting a red hot iron and burning out the white stuff and putting in a spring of an alarm clock, the boys use burned matches them for firing at each other.
    Long ago girls used make hats out of rushes.
    Young boys make cribs out of boards to catch gold finches and green linnets for singing.
