    And what have you for them
    Here comes the robbers, the robbers, the robbers.
    Its a very fine morning.
    They come in under the hands of the other two children. The last robber is caught and asked which would he or she rather say and take a doll or teddy-bear in gold or anything else. If they say a doll they will go, on one side. When all the robbers are let hand each other they draw and what ever side lets out the other side had won.
