It was the only place for animals to get

That's how canopy beds came into existence.

The wealthy had slate

A piece

Every day they lit the fire and

They ate mostly vegetables and did not

They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving

Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been

This would make them feel

When visitors came over, they would hang up

It was a sign of wealth that a man

They would cut off a little to

Food with a high

This happened most often

So, for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes

However, trenchers were often made from stale bread,

These trenchers were never washed and a lot of times

And after

Workers got the burnt

Someone

They were laid out on the kitchen table for

So they would dig up coffins
