    (continued from previous page)
    The boy with the lamp gets away first. Then the other boys wait for about five minutes before the go after him. When the boy with the lamp gets away about a hundred yards he flashes on the light and shouts "Jack Jack show your light."
    He shines the light for five minutes and then runs on, and hides somewhere else.
    When the other boys see the light they run and try to catch him. The boy who catches him first gets the lamp and gets chased then. You can go up a tree if you like.
