Orthographic text

(he says it's for catching pigs and cassowaries. if a pig is wild and gets into our gardens we'll put the trap on the road in. it might catch him, it's a string trap and uses sticks too. we'll set itand check it two days later, if it catches something we'll gather people and kill it and eat it. an hasibeen isn't a mosugog - (so it's not a generic word for trap). small traps for rodents are called stlinn traps, they aren't mosugog either.)
