Well, also when I was little, we were always gathering wood, my brother and I, we were chopping wood. We sawed it down– [correction] sawed it up, we sawed it up with a saw– with a bucksaw. Again we– uphill we– we chopped them down, we stripped little trees. Then we dragged them downhill. Downhill, then we split them. Again we told each other, “We’re always gathering wood.” It was because there was no man in the house, my father had died. That’s why we always had to work then ah–we also carried water. We dipped it up at the river (for laundry), we ran uphill. Mama had three tubs, we- we filled them, when she was going to do the wash. We were always working. We were also carrying wood into the house in our arms.
