  1. Games I Play.
    The games that I play are football, and picking blackberries. I play cards at night. The games that I like best are football and picking blackberries.
    The games that are the hardest to be played are football, handball and playing cards. I crack chestnuts in the fire at night. I like playing games. The games I play on a snowy day in winter are; putting a box standing up in the snow, and tie a cord to it,and put oats or crumbs of bread under it.
    When I see the bird eating the crumbs I pull the cord, and the box will fall on her and catch her. The other games I play in Winter are; making snow-men and rolling big rollers of snow. I play games mostly in Summer. I fish in Winter and hunt rabbits. The games that are played mostly in Winter are making bird traps and rolling snow.
