    Games I play (contd.)
    (13) "Pick an egg" is the next step.
    Take up one and throw it up. Take up one off the ground and let one in your hand out.
    (14) "Crows to bed"
    Place your left hand on the ground and your fingers outspread. Then with right hand pick up stones one by one & put them into the spaces between fingers.
    (15) "Long Ladder" is the next step.
    Put four stones on the ground and keep one in your hand. Throw up the stone in your hand & take the first & third stones together catching the stone coming down.
    Do the same for the remaining stones.
