- (continued from previous page)is called the fool. In playing Duck we put a stone on the top of the wall and everyone throws a stone at it and whoever hits it wins the game.In cat and Mouse we all join into a big ring and we leave one in the middle.She closes her eyes and she catches one .While we are playing Duck we say "Here comes Duck with a flaming puck".We play Mitty Matty indoor.This is what we say-
Mitty Matty had a hen ,
She lays eggs for gentlemen
Sometime ,sometimes two,
Into Mitty Matty's own little shoe.
She can gallop,she can trot,
She can play the mustard pot.
High ,ho,who is at home,
Father ,mother jumping Joe.
Little Dog with black snout ,wags his tail and walks O.U.T out.
