  1. Long ago the people used to make alot of toys. They used to cut things in turnips and in timber They cut out trees and birds in timber.
    The birds would be put up on the trees and the children would try to shoot them, off the trees with a gun. They cut out horses and cars in timber. When the horse would be cut out he would be painted.
