  1. I play many games. My self and my brother go catching birds every Sunday with a cage. When the black-berries are ripe in August we go picking them every evening and we make jam of them. We slash a top with a whip and we find great sport in it. Sometimes we play a game of cards and it is a great pastime. On snap-apple night we get a tub of water and we put an apple into it and we find great sport in it trying which of us would take out the apple with our mouth the first.
