"Colours"
Colours are played by a number of girls standing in a row. One girl goes off a distance and another girl gives out the colours. When every girl has a colour the "Angel" comes and tries to guess the colour given to each girl. If she guesses correctly those girls will stand behind her and the others take their places behind the other leader. Then they form a tug-of-war to see which is the stronger.

On his journey he met a poor man with three dogs. Their names were Snip, Snarl, and Snap.(continues on next page) - Collector
