    seven boys. They stand in a line and throw their stones. Whoever is the fathest away from a large stone called the "pan" puts his stone on it. Then the other boys collect their stones and throw them at the one on the "pan". Before a boy throws a stone, he has to shout "duck". If he does not shout "duck", he will have to place his stone on the "pan". When it is knocked off the "pan" another boy will have to place his stone on the "pan". When it is knocked off the "pan" another boy will have to place his stone on it.
