- My grandfather told me, that when they were building a house, and if any old animal was dead, they would put the bones of the animal under one flag of the house, And on this flag the step-dancer danced in the house, and when ever he danced, he danced on the flag for it was made for the dancing. And when the dancer danced, the bones rattle and sent back an echoing sound.
