    They used to make candles from tallow. They used to milt the tollow and pull rushes and they used peel them and dip them in the tallow and they used light them with cipins.
    Long ago and now they thicken flannon. The first thing they used do was to get a flise of woll and they used put a board between the wall and the woll. Then they used put soap and water through the woll.
