    A Cradle
    First you get five or six sticks about six inches long. Then you split them together on both ends and wave them in and out on both corners.
    A Small house
    First you get a lot of small stones. Then you would start building the house. When you think it was big enough for roofing you would get bits of sticks and but them accross the house. After that you would but rushes outside the sticks.
