   1.The children of the house would sit down and stretch out their feet. One of would get a stick and point at each foot in turn and say "Lura, lara, lira, lock, Five miles from the clock. Set I sun; daylight spun, In goes she." The one on which "in goes she" falls on would pull in his leg. The game is continued again in the same way and so on till all the feet are in, but one. The one whose foot remains out last wins.
