    (continued from previous page)
    hes to go into the den and tell where the fool is going so that some of her companions can rescue her. If the fool is going to the green gate Teresa says "Rescue by the black gate" - if the fool is going to the black gate Teresa says "Rescue by the green gate if able". If the players can run and kick the can before the fool returns Teresa is rescued. So the game goes on till everyone is caught. The last caught is the fool for another game.
