    The alms they ask for are meat potatoes, and something to eat. They call to the houses about every two months. Some of them sleep tents and others in caravans. They do not bring their food with them, they get their food at the houses they visit. Some of them are very poor. Some of them go around walking, others take horses and cars. Some of them go around in bands.
