    but they only go a little while in the summer. Long ago that is not how the story was. The people used not be happy long ago only when they used have their shoes off. They used not tan any leather around here long ago.
    Long ago when the people used wash their feet they used keep the water in a bottle or a bucket and they used leave it there for three days. Then they used throw it out. They said it would not be right to throw it out. The people throw it out immediately now.
