- (continued from previous page)you seen a naughty girl rolling down the hill." Have you ever seen a naughty girl rolling down the hill. When they have said this they dance the other way saying the same thing again and keep saying it until the game is finished.
- As many girls as like may play in this game, one goes out and says "Tady Tady, shuffle the fingers, shuffle the fingers, shuffle the fingers, horses fly," and if they put up their hands they get a slap because horses do not fly. If she names an animal that fly they are supposed to put up the hands, but if she names an animal that can not fly they are not to put up their hands, and if they do they get a slap.
