- The Games I playPee-Paw-Pin
Pee-paw-pin is played around the fire on Winter's nights. Two people only can play it. One of them must close his eyes while the other one puts the pin in one of his hands, then he puts his two hands out and the other one points on the ones hand that has the pin.
Pee-paw-pin,
Open the door,
And let the poor blind man
Whither I loose or whither I
This is the hand.
The pin is in
If he does not finish the rhyme on the hand the pin is in he gets plastered with soot.- Collector
