    fool's place in the middle and be the fool, and they continue this till they get tired.
    Snap-apple night occurs once a year and on that night we get a bath of water and put an apple in the water. Our hands are tied behind our backs and we try to take a bite out of the apple, so we are always longing for that night because we pass a joyful night always.
    In Winter nights a big crowd gathers in and we play cards, as there are many games, we spend a good lot of the night playing them, so that shortens the night and the Winter nights pass by quickly.
