    There was a man one time. he lived in our place. He was a basket maker.
    First of all he got a heap of sallow rods. then he made them the one length. He stuck twelve rods in the ground. He then wove more rods between them. People came to buy them. He charged two shillings for each. Baskets were used for carrying turf, and potatoes.
