  1. How they Used to Make Houses

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people used to live in wooden houses. There was no cement then so they had to cut down trees and make a house. These houses were round and their roofs were winding up to a point at the top. The people used to make the roofs with long rods. They used to weave the rods in and out until they came to the top then they brought them in to a point.
