   Share Share Post

   My favourite local game is jenny joe. It is played as follows. One little child hides in a corner and nobody lives with him except one child who acts as his mother. Then the child gets sick and all the other children go to see him but his mother finds an excuse for not letting them see Jenny joe. The last time they go to see him he is supposed to be dead. All the children carry him away to bury him.
