    The Games I Play
    I play the following games: in Autumn I play football, hurling, tennis and hand-ball. In Summer I play, spy, pig, quote, marbles, kick the bucket, rounders, top whipping, blind man buff, Casey says "sticky taffy"
    The indoor games I play are table tennis, hold the button very fast, nut-cracking and jack-stones. Hold the very fast is a good game. Three to ten people can play it. In playing table-tennis, there are two boys with a bat and they play till the winner gets 21.
