  1. (continued from previous page)
    Then they get nuts or beans and put them on the [?] in pairs. They put names on them a boy and a girl who are to be married. If they don’t fly they will be married.
    If one flys and the other don’t they won’t be married . If one flys and the other after it they will be married also.
    Then they put a sixpence into a basin of water and the children take of their shoes and try to get it up with their toes, who ever can do so gets the sixpence.
