    called the best.
    "Punishment" is played in the following manner. One person gets a hat and goes around to all the crowd. Each person gives him a piece of paper with his own name written on it. He puts them all into the hat. Then one person sits on a chair and the man of the hat stands behind his back. He takes one paper out of the hat and says "What is the owner of this to do". The person on the chair puts some punishment on him. The owner of the paper must go through that punishment.
    They continue in this manner until all the papers are out of the hat. Then the game is finished.
