    About three years ago on May day...

    (continued from previous page)
    When I have time to spare I go to an elder tree and get a stick. Then I put a hole in the middle of the stick. Then I put a piece of tow at each side of it. Then I get a thin piece of stick and put it through the hole and it throws the tow away. Sometimes I put a stick standing on the ground and try to hit it.
