    The people long ago got britevy long and bored a hold through the middle of it and got a think stick and made two plugs of flax and put one plug in one end and filled the hole up with air and put the other plug in the other end and put in the thin stick and pushed out the plugs and it let a crack.
    There were jackstones played with five small round stones.
