water and oil run down among the | berries. She keeps the dish with 
the mixed oil and berries turned over for a long time, | because the 
mixture doesnot run very fast. It runs inamong the | viburnum- 
berries. When the mixed water and oil does not run in any more, 
she puts | the dish upright and places it on the floor of the house, 
for || the berries are now covered with water and oil. She takes the 
cover of the | box, and her husband takes a | drill and his straight 
knife and splits good | red-pine wood. He cuts it out and makes 
pegs out of it. When | he has done so, he drills through the cover 
and the edge of the || box, pulls out his drill, wets the pegs with his

and takes a stone and drives in the peg. | The drill-holes are three 
finger-widths apart. | He puts a peg into every hole. After || he has 
done so, he puts the box down in a cool corner of the house. That is 
all about this. |

out | his two harpoon points, and he prepares them. And after | he
