    and so the game continues. This is a game always played on Hallow Eve night.
    Hidden Treasure is played by children on wet days. Any small object is hidden by one child in a room while the others are outside the door. When she has it hidden the others come in and try to find it. If they are near the hiding place she says they are hot, it they are far away she says they are cold. The person who finds the hidden treasure hides it next time.
