   (continued from previous page)

   In this game four players attend. One is selected to go a-hide and they select a place for a burrow. When the person is hidden the others go to look for him. When he is found they hunt him. If he goes into the burrow he cannot be caught. Then the hunters give him a chance to escape out of the burrow and the person that catches him must go in hiding and the others hunt him.
