  1. A Crib

    Share Share Post
    I often made a crib. I got two elder sticks and I made a hole in the end of each stick. After those I got two ash sticks and put them through the holes in the elder sticks. Then I got two pieces of twince. I got a gologue to hold up the twine. I then got ash sticks and I would twine around them. This is how I set the crib. I got a briar and I wound it round the elders that were on the bottom. Then I got a gologue and I left one end on the briar and the other up against the crib. When the bird goes in she walks on the briar and the gologue falls. Then the crib falls on the bird and she cannot get out.
