I remember going to an old citizen's house, and he and the old lady were making clay pipes.

In the evening, when the king returned from the battle, he found Paperarello sitting in the road making clay dolls.

In the evening, when they all returned from the battle, there he was, sitting in the road, making clay dolls.

You would finish off the outside of the walls by making clay cakes out of mud and filling up the cracks with them.
