   Mindoran Age 70 yor rushes. The old men made a trahook. This was a long rod with a nice round head at one end and the other end turned like a hook. The grass was twisted round the hook end and the rope was twisted in this way. Some men build their wee houses beside a bank or rock. The bank or rock did as a wall. Most houses has only one room. All the family lay in beds on the floor others made them with sticks. The people were as happy and healthy as they are now.
