- (continued from previous page)The hawk will say he wants to cut the head off the best chicken you have.
We also play Tom Fool in the middle.
The way we play play that is four of us get stones and we stand at them and one gets into the middle. We run from one stone to the other. Whoever is fool if he gets a stone and whoever the stone belongs to will be the fool then. The boys play ball in the cold weather. The way the play it is one party stands one side and an other party stands the other side. One of them stands in the middle and throws up the ball and which ever party gets the most goals will win the game.
