This is the preliminary work for roofing the hut. He braids the straw, complaining about the poor quality of the straw: because of the early fires that burn everything, because of the scarcity of water, they are forced to use straw in this state to cover their huts during the rainy season. Real straw has disappeared because of climate change, and now they only use tall grass, which doesn’t last as long as it used to. The grass is not as consistent as the straw used to be.
