- (continued from previous page)She begs her own tea and eggs. She begs mostly for wool. She accepts tea, sugar, meat, tobacco and wool. She travels on foot. She comes in July always, so as to get a bit of wool from the people, because the people shear their sheep in that month. She sells the wool in town. She brings the news she hears in other districts. When she came first to this district, she knew no English but she is able to speak some sort of English now. She travels in her feet.
