end into the bucket with water which stands between the | steaming 
box and the fire, and, when the end of the tongs is wet, he picks the | 
red-hot stones out of the fire and puts them into the steaming-box; 
he | continues doing this with the other red-hot stones; and when || 
the tongs catch fire at the end, he puts the end into the | bucket of 
water. The man is careful that | the water does not boil up, for he 
only wants it to be real hot. | When it has nearly come to a boil, he 
stops putting stones into it. | Then he takes the front-basket, which is 
now filled with viburnum-berries, || and pours the berries into the cook-

which are inthe | medium-sized swallowing-basket, and she pours these 
too into the cooking-| basket. When itis nearly full, she stops. Then 
the man takes hold of the | handles of the cooking-basket and puts

carefully while it is covered with water, for (the berries) must not 
be cooked too long. | She takes it out of the hot water every now 
and then, and watches it. | When (the berries) all turn red, they 
are at once | taken out and poured into the empty oil-box, || 
which has already been put down at the place where it is to stay
