   Three or more can play this game. They pretend to have a fire. One goes blowing it saying "I'll blow the fire." Maimeen is the mother hen who arranges the others, her chickens, behind her.

   Maimeen: "What are you blowing the fire for?"
   "To dry the bags." There are two or three bags beside the fire.
   M: "What do you want the bags for?"
   "To draw sand."
   M: "What do you want the sand for?"
   "To scour knives."
   M: "What do you want the knives for?"
   "To cut the heads off your chickens."
   M: "What do you want to cut the heads off my chickens for?"
   " Because they were in eating my oats."
   M: "You won't cut the heads off my chickens."
   "Well I will."
   The person at the fire tires to cut the heads off the chickens and Maimeen saves them.
