  1. Houses Long Ago

    Share Share Post
    They used have thatch and pieces of trees for roofs on the houses long ago. The fire used to be in the middle of the gable and a basket for a chimney. The people killed seals and melt their flesh for oil. They put it into a basin and put a piece of cloth for a wick and light it.
