A história, como Vera K. conta

Do lugar

Do povo

• They keep a dry stack of fuel beside the reed hut and share the first meal at the hearth with any traveller who crosses the grass meadow. (heard when a people lives here)
• Before winter sets in they check the lashings and stones of the watch post and sing the names of the first four who came. (heard when a people lives here)
