- (continued from previous page)"blind oney" she puts the ptchy on the toe of her shoe and walks from bed to bed taking two steps in each. She kicks off the stone at "fivey" and hecks back down to "oney."
Putting it on the left shoe she does the same.
Next she puts it on the palm of her right hand and hecks from bed to bed not letting it fall off. She throws it off at fivey and hecks it down she repeats that for the left hand. She then puts it on her head and walks up and back.
