    “Long ago the people made candles themselves.”

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people made candles themselves. They made them out of tallow and lard. The people rolled up a cotton wick in a mould. There was a piece of stick holding it underneath and another on top. They poured in the grease into the mould. They left the candle in the mould for a couple of hours and the candle was made then.
