   In olden times people had three meals a day. These were their breakfast, dinner and supper. The breakfast was taken about eight o clock and the dinner about twelve and supper at nine o clock at night.

   The people always worked in the morning before having their breakfast. But they did not take out horses or go out to the fields to work. They only worked about the house and in the barn thrashing corn with the flail and feeding cows and horses.
