THE HOUSE MADE WITH SOPAPO

– How is the mud house?
I want you to explain to me.
– House made with soup,
it's the wattle and daub house.

– The interlaced wall
What?
– A slat goes lying down,
another goes up.

Between the slats tied
there is bamboo too.
tied with embira
is that it looks good.

And in the corners is a stake
what I'm going to put.
Where there are doors and windows
she is there too.

Every stake, every slat
stick it in the ground.
- I prepared the crate!
- Well, prepare your hand!

The clay has already been kneaded
with cattle manure?
- Already!
- I stay behind the crate.
You stay on the other side.
There!

Throw clay in this clay
I'm going to play you!
Play clay in your clay
who is coming there.

Stick a clay to another clay
and signing go.
Soup all the way around,
use your hand well!

- It's not a stone wall,
but it looks good!
– On the four spread the beams
and the thatched roof!
