    too. it is played in this way. Three children would go out of the ring one to give out colours and the others to think of them. One would be an "angel" and the other a "devil".
    When she would have them given out she would give both of them three chances and if they found out the colour one of the children who had chosen it would run a short distance. If she was caught she would be a "devil" and if she was not she would be an "angel".
