Picking up two baskets, she went to the lake. She used one to take up small stones and sand from the shore, and another to fill it with water. She returned to the square with both baskets on either side of her shoulder.
She put them down, a little proud of herself. She remembered she wasn't this strong when she came to this world. Now, her strength was growing. She only reminisced for a while before starting her work.

It was almost a paste but not quite. She used different amounts of water along with the three other ingredients, trying to find the best combination.
