    children can play it. They they all decide who ever is twenty will be the man who asks the time. They pick out the girl for the runner and then they start to play. First they all sit down on the grass or path where they are playing. Then the runnner tells the "timer" in a low whisper what time is it. The timer asks the children what time is it in turns. When one of them says the right time he runs after the runner and if he catches him he is the runner.
