   The first player throws
   a flat stone into the number one square.
   He then hops on each of the other seven squares, without touching the dividing lines, up to number eight, and, when coming back, he lifts the stone. If he forgets to lift the stone, he is out. He continues throwing until number eight is reached. Then, he turns his back to the rectangle, and throws the stone over his shoulder. If the stone lands in a square, that is called his "bed".
