because it brings bad luck to take them home, as the people of olden 
times say. | Therefore they try to eat all; and after emptying their 
dishes, || they go out of the feast-house. That is all about the berry- £ 
cakes. | 
Raw Currants.—Currants are also eaten raw. When | the woman 
comes home from picking currants, she | asks her husband to get a 
dish, and putit | next to her seat. Thenshe unties the top of || the 
currant-basket, and she sits down (with her husband), | one on each 
side of the | currant-basket; and the large dish is put down on the 
outer side of the currant-basket. Then they both take the currants | 
out of the basket and strip them and put them into the dish. As soon 
as | they have been stripped off the stems, the stems are thrown || 
into the fire. The woman | and her husband continue doing this, 
trying to see who will strip them most quickly. When | the currants 
have all been stripped off, the man goes and calls whomever he likes 
from among his relatives, orhe may evencallhisnumaym; | and assoon 
as the husband goes to call all those who are toeat theraw || currants, 
she takes oil, and the spoon-basket with horn spoons, | which she 
keeps in readiness at the place where she sits down, and she also 
takes medium-sized dishes | and holds them ready. Then her hus- 
band comes in, followed by his guests; | for they do not sit down as 
they do at a great feast. The guests sit down | any way they like.
