- Long ago the people used have tables with only two legs. There used be two legs under one side and no leg under the other side. They used have it turned up-side-down on the rack. When they used to be eating they used take it down and leave the legs rest on the ground and the side without any leg resting on the rack. It used be very low and they used kneel around it when they used be eating.
