    (a) If a child wants to share sweets with a companion. He says to him :- "Close your eyes and open your mouth, and you'll see what God will send you". Then a sweet is put into the open mouth.

    (b) If one child is telling something which another thinks may not be true. The latter says, "Link with me". If the other does so, that means the truth of the statement is beyond doubt. The linking is done by the little finger of the right hands of the two boys being locked in each other.
