    There lived a man in this locality who was able to make a kite. First he cut three ash rods. He curled one of them into a ring and he cut it on the top, he put the seccond one into the hole. The remaining one from the bottom of the round one. He then put a piece of brown paper all over the sticks. He then applied some paste to make it stick. He then put a roll of tread out of it. Then it was ready for use.
