Elizabeth Barter finit le conte qu’elle avait commencé, et puis parle à propos de contes, de conteurs, et d’où elle a appris ces contes. Elle parle des noms, du bilinguisme, des enfants et du contexte dans lequel on contait et qu’on écoutait les contes. Elle raconte « La barrique de miel », qu’elle a appris d’Olive Marche; elle parle de quelques généralités et puis conte un autre conte à propos d’un mari trompé. -- Elizabeth Barter finishes the story she had started and then talks about stories, storytellers and where she learned the stories.
