  1. (continued from previous page)
    Whoever he came to, when he was saying "out" he would have to do whatever the others wishes. The children also played other games. They played "hold fast, let go" every two persons got a handkerchief and held it in their hands, when the game started one person said "when I say hold fast you let go, when you say let go, I hold fast.
    They played "wish". Whoever would be a certain number could be asked any question or anything they wished to know about him or her.
    The children believe that the "pookie" is out on November night.
