    (continued from previous page)
    feet used to be swollen and when there were going to the town they used to carry the shoes until they got near the town. Then they would put the shoes. When people to be throwing out the water in which they washed their feet, they used to say "huda buda huisge hail". Because if they did not say those words the water would be thrown back in their face.
