- (continued from previous page)The little girls make daisy-chains of daisies. They make holes in the stems of the daisies, and stitch them together. They wear those chains round their necks as ornaments.
The little boys nowadays make snares for catching rabbits. They make them of thin strong wire. They put a loop at the end of it. Then they place it at the mouth of the rabbit's burrow. When the rabbit comes out its head gets caught in the loop. The wire squeezes the rabbit's neck and kills it.
