   nights young men (are) do be constant making baskets and creels. Children do be fishing and bird nesting in Summer. In Autumn they be picking berries and apples. When there is frost and snow in Winter they amuse themselves by sliding and throwing snowballs. Boys go about the country in Winter with hounds after hares and rabbits. Children often play pookey and hide-go-seek.
