- Long ago the children used to make toys of their own, such as teeth from turnips, and an image of a man's head from a turnip. Spinning tops, bird cradles.
Girls string flowers together to make necklaces. They make ragdolls and dolls frocks. The children forget how to make these toys, but the girls know how to make daisy chains. Sometimes the boys make tops from thread spools but very seldom. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
