  1. When i am playing four corners i make a square on the road then, i put a girl in each corner and another girl in the middle called the "fool." The girls on the side pass from one another and if the fool gets possession from one of the other girls corner, the girl that is deprived of her corner becomes the fool. It goes on like that until everyone of the girls becomes the fool. The game is broken then.
