  1. (continued from previous page)
    is dying out. A very common game that is played is: a cake is made and a ring is put in it. When the cake is made it is divided and the one that gets the ring is said to be the first to be married. Another game that is played is one with three saucers. Water is put in one clay in another and a ring in the third. If a person puts his finger on the clay he is the first to die. If he puts it on the water he will go to another country and if he puts his finger on the ring it is said he is the first to be married.
