    Have a piece of Fish
    Wake game. Players sit or stand in a ring.
    Leader has a wet cloth (or dish cloth) in her hand. He says to player "Have a piece of fish". The player next to one addressed must answer. Failure to answer is punished by a blow of the wet cloth. If any of the players laugh, he must pay a forfeit.
    The usual forfeits are given.
