    The Games I like best
    The games I like best are hurling, football and marbles. A game of marbles is a very exciting and interesting. Two persons compete in this game, each person having a marble. Three holes are bored on the ground, into which the players pink. The player reaching the ninth hole first must shoot at the other marble and if he hits he wins the game. This game is generally played during the summer months, because if played in winter it would be unpleasant on account of the cold damp weather.
