    always best to give nothing.
    Nearly always before a races or a fair they about, and specially before a special horse fair, the day of the fair they all go to town and of course they have to get drunk and if there is not a fight in the town, there will be surely one when they come to the camp, it would not to be near at hand because their language is not too choice.
