- (continued from previous page)they say, 'Chuck, Chuck' when they are calling ducks they say "Tweet! Tweet," and when they are calling turkeys they say, "Peep" Peep". When people are calling calves they say, "Suck" Suck." We give the horse, cows and calves hay for fodder.
We bring the horse to the forge to get him shod.
When the horse is clipped, we save the hair for poor people who buy it, to make brushes and other things which they sell.
When we are talking about the different cows we distinguish them by their colour as the 'red one' the 'white one', the 'black one', the 'grey one' at the wall', 'the middle grey one'.
