Interviewer:  Mm-hmm. And uh, what do you call that s- thing that you might put on the bed to keep you warm, that women stitch together?
100:  A quilt.
Interviewer:  Mm-hmm, that's it. And um, I don't know if you know this word or not. Uh, If you had too many people comping- coming to see you, and you didn't have enough beds, you might make up something on the floor for the children, and that's a?
100:  Pallet.
