    There must be as many as six to play sheep. One would be the mother and she should have three children. She would also have a girl minding the children. Then the mother would go to town and while the mother is gon to town a traveler would come to the door for food tree times and each time he come he would steel one of the children. When the mother come home she would beet the girl for having the children gon. Then the mother would go and look for the children.
