    she is put out of the game. Each girl takes it in turn to call out the name of the fruits.
    Boys play other games different to those played by girls. They play hurling and football running an jumping. They also do weight-throwing that is, they get a big stone, lift it up in the right hand and throw it from them as far as they are able. They compete with each other to see who will throw it the farthest and they put a mark to show how far each one's throw went.
