![]() My craft is very useful and very necessary. You shoemaker, what do you make that’s useful to us? ![]() No, how would that even benefit me? I sell things for more than I buy them for, that I might be able to save up some money for my wife and children. Robes, silk, rare clothes, unguent, wine, oil, elephant bone, costly gems, gold, tin, brass, oars, silver, glass, and much more.ĭo those things you buy abroad cost the same as things here? What things do you bring with you from oversea? There is much danger, and I sometimes endure shipwrecks, losing all my wares in the process and almost losing my life. I go in my ship with my freight and travel over sea, selling my wares and buying valuable wares you cannot get, and bring them to you oversea. I say that I am more useful than the king, and the noblemen, and the rich, and all people. I can get others back - not all of them, but many. Why do you bring in tame hawks only to let them fly away?īecause I do not want to feed them in the summer, they eat a lot in the summer.īut many tame hawks feed over the summer, then some must return. I let them fly away to the woods and I take the youngest birds in the autumn to tame. They feed themselves in the winter and the spring. I want the larger! How do you feed your hawks? What hawk do you want, the larger or the smaller? I give it to you gladly, if you give me your swiftest hound. Yes, I can: How useful are they to me, unless I know how to tame them? I catch them in various ways: sometimes with nets, sometimes with snares, sometimes with traps, sometimes with birdlime, sometimes with whistles, sometimes with hawks. What do you say, fowler? How do you catch birds?
