- Antother trick that is played on Hallow-Eve night is when a crowd of boys and girls come into the house, they all make a ring around the floor. Then a bottle is put in the middle of the ring and the person who is not in the game spins the bottle around. If the bottle stops at a boy he has to go and kiss all the girls, but it the bottle stops at a girl she has to go around and kiss all the boys. When I was playing the bottle stopped at me and I had to go around and kiss all the girls.
