   At this time of the year all boys make cribs to catch birds. We make them out of hazel sticks in the shape of a basket. Each stick is cut the same length and the four corners tied with binding twine. When we have the crib made we tie a briar out of the two hind corners. There we get a weak stick and set it. We out light sticks on the briar and bread under it.
