    Lonng ago the people made their own toys such a hurleys and tops. Some of these are kept on to the present day. They had pop guns made out of pieces of sticks. Long ago the people were very fond of making snares and set them for rabbits, and always caught a lot of them. Some of the people are making them tot he present day. There are also rabbit traps which people set and they also catch a lot of rabbits.
