- Long ago when the people would kill a cow they would take the fat and melt it. Then they would get a mould and plait six strands of cotton. They would tie the thread to a nail and put the nail across the mould. Then they would pour the tallow into the mould and let it cool. Then they would put it into boiling water and take out the candle.
