    And put it in his pocket
    Not you, not you, but surely you".
    A game played round the fire is
    "Pippoty, poppoty"
    Play me a pin
    Here I wash and here I spin
    Lift the latch and pull the string
    Which is the hand the pin lies in"?
    This is played by one of the children taking the pin and putting his hand behind his back and putting the pin into one of his hands then he takes both hands out and one of the chidren say this ryhme. Dolls are used by girls these they dress and undress.
