    They get all sorts of musical instruments, they put on all old clothes, and hats, and with screen over their faces. They have a "hubby" in the shape of a horse. Then they get a string so that when the string is pulled the "hubby's" mouth opens.
    One boy carries the "hubby" on his shoulders, and the rest plays their instruments, and goes from house to house gathering money.
