- (continued from previous page)must have a stone of their own, some one's stone is placed on top of the big stone. Then all the other players fling their stones and try to knock what is called the "Duck" If anyone knock the "Duck" she must run quickly and try to put up the same stone for if her stone is put up she will be the "fool" herself. If the duck is not knocked, the "fool" tries to catch someone with their stone in their hand. You could not catch your stone and let it fall again. When you catch your stone you must kick it in your hand till you go back to your place again You must also try and avoid the "fool" for if you are caught with the stone in your hand you are made the fool.
