    that one catches all the rest.
    4. Frog leap.
    Frog leap is played this way. One boy puts his hands on his knees and the others jump across him. We amuse ourselves at certain times of the year. In summer we amuse ourselves picking bil-berries in the valleys around. This generally lasts during the last three Sundays of July. Every one that goes there brings a can or some vessel to carry them.
