   The games we play at home are "dallóg" and Hide-and-Seek. In Autumn we go nut cracking and blackberry picking. On Sundays and Holidays we play "Cook," and football and hurling. Children amuse themselves in Winter nights by getting a button and one person takes the button in his hand and puts his hand between the joined hands of each person in the company. Then everyone is asked to get the button. All who are wrong will be punished by a slap. Four chairs are place on the floor and the children run about them and the one that is caught will be out of the sport.
