Meanwhile all the boys have been at work spreading the grass. And so they worked until nightfall. The next morning the men were accompanied by the women and girls who raked up the scattered grass and formed long lines of raked hay. On the next day the hay was made into cocks and afterwards it was carted home to the barn. The farmer was then very happy and felt thankful to the Good lord who gave him suitable weather to save his crop.
