    Snare Making
    I often made a snare. I got eight wires together, and I cut every second wire; then there was a loop at one end. Then I put a piece of stick in the loop, and I tied the other end to a not lid, and I stayed twisting the lid until all the wires were twisted together. Then I put one end into the loop, and I tied another rope to the (other) end of it. Then I tied the rope to a piece of stick so that it would go down in the ground. Then I had the snare made.
