- (continued from previous page)On the following day they return again asking the same as the day before.Mother : Jenny-Joe is deadThen they began to cry. They ask her again.Neighbours : Where shall she be buried?Mother : In her father's grave in the old churchyard.Then she is taken away and is buried. The mother walks after the corpse accompanied by the neighbours.
- When playing High Gates, five or six children join together in a ring and one child goes outside the ring and shuts her eyes. This ring must be walked round twice by the child outside and then she hits someone on the back. The person she hits runs around the ring once and a gap is left and the person first to the gap is the winner.
