    There are some games that the boys and girls play. These are some games the girls like to be playing namely. Cook, puicin[?] or playing marvels. These are games that boys like to be playing. throwing balls up against the end of a house. The boys have no certain day of the year to amuse themselves. In the Autumn time when all the berries would be ripe the boys would give the day gathering them and in the winter time they would make traps to catch birds. This is the way that the boys and girls amuse themselves on a cold winters evening they would sit around the fire reading a book or telling stories.
