    They gather horses hair and bottles and rags in the bag. They go about selling the bottles in the towns and they get money for them, They dont travel in the winter. The travelling folks never go in famailies. The folks would tell stories to the people long ago, and the peopel would give them bottles and bits of iron and tin. There are not many travelling folks now.
