Broom Maker |
|
My name is William. My job is to make brooms. The tools I use are a piece of rope, hay and large pieces of wood. This is what I have to do: I get the hay and tie it up with a rope and cut the hay with a hatchet. Then I tie it to a long piece of wood. When I am finished I have made a sturdy broom.
I enjoy my work. When I get to use the hatchet and tie the hay up with a piece of rope. I feel strong and do not appreciate it when I break the rope with my hands and wrap it around wood into the hay because I could get a sliver.
I depend on the farmer to get my hay and the sawmill for my wood. I would depend on shopkeepers, housewives, milliners and anyone who needs to keep their floors clean.
