1 (a) [0:01] Well, when we were girls we got together a lot for work bees, spinning bees and –

2 (a) [0:07] joint work bees where we pounded hemp. We would all meet up to go to the joint work bees,

3 (a) [0:12] we pounded, the girls on one side and the boys on the other side.

4 (a) [0:18] O.K., but when a boy would come, one of the girls would get up to [go] pound

5 (a) [0:21] with another girl. We pounded it –

6 (VZh) [What did you pound?]

7 (a) [0:24] [yes,] hemp. And when we’d finish pounding

8 (a) [0:28] the hemp we would get up to – We would have some food, we’d –

9 (a) [0:32] We’d eat! We would eat!

10 (a) [0:33] The wives of the landowners who’d called us to the joint work bees set up the table

11 (a) [0:37] and we made – now we’d eat. We’d – we’d pour water for the boys.

12 (a) [0:43] We’d sit on our knees, like that, down on our knees so we could make –

13 (a) [0:47] so we could pour water for the boy – the boy that was pounding with me,

14 (a) [0:53] and I’d pour him water so he could wash. And they’d set a big table

15 (a) [0:58] for us to eat. They’d cook up beans, peppers, pickles – and they cooked chicken –

16 (a) [1:05] We’d – we’d eat our fill and then we’d get up

17 (a) [1:09] to dance the horo and to sing. We sang, the boys played the end-blown flute,

18 (a) [1:15] and it was really nice. And when we’d go to the spinning bees,

19 (a) [1:19] we’d take a basket of carded wool to – to put walnuts in also

20 (a) [1:23] to go off to the spinning bee.
