  1. Basket-Making / Fishing

    Share Share Post
    Baskets are made out of twigs. First six twigs are got and put standing in the ground the shape of a basket. Then more twigs are got and they are twisted around the six. Many rows are put on. Then the bottom is made. Michael O Neill is a great basket maker in my district.
    Fishing
    There was a big flood in a glen to the north of my house. Michael O Keeffe caught a basked of trout. The stream was running near a field; he turned it into the field. After a while the trout died When the water went out he got the fish.
