The ropes are attached, its corners are tied, and pegs are tied to its other two corners. The rope is in the ground near one of its corners. The wild, two long mountains. The net is set up, and the grain is scattered in front of it. He takes the end of the rope and stays far from it. The birds descend, and they become numerous on the grain, so numerous that the net falls on them with the rope. The net's pole is very narrow, so not a single sparrow can escape from it, and nothing gets away. Then the owner of the net comes and takes the birds from it. If there are valuable birds among them, such as the sparrow or the dove, and the like, he takes the feathers from their wings and leaves them, and lets them go. If there are no such birds, he takes them all, and rushes them at another time. When I was there, there was no net, and I used to hunt with it in my house. A hunter of sparrows, who hunts with it, asked for it. And there are those who hunt monkeys and baboons in the mountains, and I do not know how they hunt them with it. And better than all of that is hunting with gunpowder, because a person there, as long as he has a good rifle, can feast on animal meat without difficulty. And among the servants, there are those who buy a slave from the Daramida, and they do not burden him except with hunting. When that slave hunted, his master feasted on meat. And I saw at our Sheikh, the jurist Madraj ibn Sa'id, a old man. Inform me.
