The children hardly had any time to play, but they played whenever they could, during school breaks, work breaks and even during work. They combined work and play, they told each other stories while herding cattle, they sang songs while fetching water and they played with objects that nature provided while working in the forest. "The cones were our horses, the pine trees our cows, the acorns our pigs. We built a farm from the large pieces of bark. We used ribwort plantain as grain and broadleaf plantain leaves were our money."
