    About 40 years ago a Lehud man who was at the time a young teacher ate too many green goose berries as a result of which he was struck down with "yellow jaundice."
    His mother who lived then got her querns and ground her oats into oatmeal as fine as castor sugar. She then strained it through a sieve into a white cloth which she tied well with twine.
