Move off to a wee bit to the side of the trail and you sit quietly by- by a tree or-something.

Oh the wee black dog and he wasn't afraid of anything.

The groundhog come- come out of the field and then- and he got- he in there and got a hold of that. Well the wee mare got a- a fight about that.

And the bull was snorting and he- was he ever coming. And there was a wee hole like that. And I just threw myself in it and he ate the fence when I went through. That was once. But there was lots of times.

Those people just kind-of wanted to sho-- to show me things. So I was only (inc) well to listen. Wee bit of it rubbed off you-know here and there.

And I went to school and this other wee girl come down the road the other direction. And when she got to school in the morning, her wee hands were just about frozen. She had no mitts. So I gave her my mitts.

Speaker: When I come home, mother says, "Where's your mitts?" She went to put them to dry. I said, "Well I gave them to this- the name of the wee girl." I said, "She had no mitts and her hands were freezing and I had pockets." Gosh (chimes), mother never said, "Go and get the mitts." She just sat down and knit another pair. Interviewer: (Laughs) I love that. Well that's a good story. Speaker: Yeah. Just never said anything about it. She knew the wee girl needed the mitts and she just knit another pair. So, it was a- it was a different world.

So he built a wee rack up (inc) so they went up the stairs and built a rack like a wee place where they could go up and sleep.

Ah, some I would imagine, you'd milk them in less than five minutes maybe but some of them might take a wee bit longer.

The same old guy would come down and they'd be seeing them and his hands jammed right in his pocket taking wee steps, you knew he was in real bad humour.

So she brought it. And we fed the little pig, and I'd let her hold it. I said, "You just hold it and let the wee pig suck it." She thought that was great. She never- that's- we got her off the bottle.

And I can remember in the spring of the year, went to the barn, there was a sheep with a pair of lambs, eh? She opened the little door to go in to pet the wee lambs in the individual pen, big as- 'bout as big as this table. The pen with the sheep with a pair of lambs (inc). She went in there to go in and to pet the wee lambs, I had to hold the wee lamb, the sheep hit me right there, sent me ass over to (inc) (laughs). Meanwhile you were told not to go in (laughs).

Scratch marks all over him, he didn't figure what on earth it was. Went back a wee while later, the pig's dead. Yeah, and it was alive this morning, he's dead middle- sometime later on that afternoon, he's dead.

So I grab the scraper blade, it was the wintertime, grabbed the scraper blade, eh, reached underneath the car to scare out whatever was underneath it, out come this fisher from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail was thirty nine inches long. He just run a wee piece like that, turn around and looked at you.

But they were just small, m-- you- you might get two loads of hay under the wee loft on them and that's about it.

Speaker: You mention boiling it. Interviewer: Yeah. Speaker: Darkens it a wee bit. Speaker: Yeah. Speaker: That's just if you burn it (laughs).

Well, you-see, I was a wee bit lazy sometimes, so the s-- she sent- the teacher sent me home to- to do some w-- book work like, you-know and of course there was only paper work I should say. So I didn't do it and I said, "Well I lost it and it rained on it."

And there was one poor lady, she- they were on assistance and when she'd get her check she'd come in and she always bought herself a couple of wee knick-knacks. L-- they might have only been, like, a dollar, two dollars but that stuff really sold.

We, ah, sneaked in what we call Little-White-Lake, I-don't-know, it was a puddle and we made a wee raft. We'd save our lunches. Coming home from school, I'll go in there and think we were on White-Lake, I-guess.

And I remember getting- sneaking a wee piece of wire from home and we just gathered up-
