meet. Then she | pries out the lily plant and bulb in this way: | 
The lily-plant is the black spot in the middle of the square.

breaks off the | stem of the lily-bulb and throws it away. 
25 Then she throws the || bulb into her bulb-basket. She continues 
doing this | as long as she is digging lily-bulbs. She digs them up 
very quickly when she is digging, for | three finger-widths is the width 
of the | digging-stick for lily-bulbs. As soon as the basket is full, |

she spreads it out where she is digging. She takes hold of her | basket 
on each side and pours the bulbs on the mat which has been spread out, 
and | she goes on digging as she did before. Now, the bulbs that 
have been poured on the mat are getting dry; | and when the basket

one on which she H- poured the bulbs. The three mats are 
spread in this way:] She seatters over them the bulbs which
