  1. Ropes they Used Long Ago

    Share Share Post
    When they used to make a white basket long ago for putting clean clothes into they used to boil the rods in a big pot and then they would peel the skin off them. Then they would gather up all the skins and leave them beside the fire to dry. Then when they were dried they were platted together and they were very strong.
