Then when he would have him blindfolded in such a manner so that he couldn't see he would say to him "How many horses in your father's stable" and the boy would answer "three white and three gray." Then the new fool would be turned around three times and the boy turning him would say "turn around once turn around twice you'll never see me until next May day/" Then they would all run around again leaving Blind Booby to grope around looking for somebody. He would be Blind Booby then until he'd catch some-body else and that is how the game goes on.
