Then we kick it out and put it in the second bed and go through them the same. We keep doing that until we have kicked it in the first bed and go around twice. Then we mark one of the beds and put our name on it and give the others half for to go through.10. We have seven beds like the others. We go through them the same but we take up the stone. Then we put it on our head and go through them also, but we only go once.11.
