    Bit of Fat and Bit of Lean
    The way to play bit of fat and a bit of lean is ten or twelve children to join hands and go around in a ring. One would go around and give a tip to everyone saying while doing so, " bit of fat and a bit of lean'. Then she will say, "I have a little dog and he won't bite you, nor you, nor you, but you.
    To whomever she says, "but you", that girl will have to run after the other one.
