  1. (continued from previous page)
    Three or four boys come together and another boy will be sitting down on the floor. Then one boy will put something over the head of the boy that's on the floor and he will say, trom, trom, caro tá óis oo cionn. If the boy does not know what is over him, the other boy will stay piling things onto his head. If he guesses at last what is over him, another boy must sit down as the first boy did, and so on.
