   One girl is the wolf and another the mother and all the other girls are the sheep. The mother says "Sheep, sheep go to grass". She next says : "Sheep, sheep come home." The sheep say "No", The mother says "Why" and the sheep say "The wolf". The mother then says "The wolf is gone to Windgap and won't come back tonight" The sheep come back and the wolf tries to catch them. This is continued until all the sheep are caught.

   Sometimes there are two hunting and sometimes there is only one. If there are two hunting they turn in to a wall or gate known as "the den" while the others go ahide. As soon as the two who are hunting hear the cry "Cook" one stays on the den while the other goes out to try and catch the girls who are hiding. Nora Woran, Kickham St,Mullinahone, Co. Tipperary
