  1. All this game needs if four corners and five boys. Four boys each get a corner and the fifth boy goes into the centre of the floor where the corners are; he is called the fool. The boys that are in the corners change places, and if lucky get safely to different corners. The fool tries to get one of the corners and if he does the boy that was running to change, and misses, is then the fool, and so the game goes on.
