    who will have the most of us.We play púca in Winter indoors.One gets a cloth and puts it across his eyes and tries to catch us.We play hide and go see in Summer.
    Some of us and more follow and tries to find us.We play little silly saucer in Autumn we sing
    Little Silly Saucer,
    Sitting on the water,
    Turn to the east,
    Turn to the west,
    Turn to the little girl you
    love best.
    There is a beautiful lake in this vicinity and in Summer we go swimming.In Autumn we pick blackberries and sloes and we have great fun.We all join up in a ring when we are playing ring a ring a rosy we sing the poem.
    Ring a ring a rosy,
    A pocket of posy,
    Hush,hush we all tumble down.We play corners and one goes in the middle as a fool and tries to get the corners from us.We play them indoor on Winter.
