- 1. Get a black snail and rub it to the warts. then hang the snail on a thorn to wither away.
2. when you discover a stone with a hole containing water you must rub this water to the warts. leave a pin behind you in the hole. - One boy would say the following lines:"Hy! my man! Would you carry my can?
Would you blow the bellows?
Would you fight the French?"Then all the boys would start to blow their breaths on each other as hard as they could ( to see who would keep it up the longest)Then, perhaps, some one would commence to throw spits, and that upset the game.- Collector
