She gives each one some task to perform and the owner will not get back the forfeit till this task is done. - How to play four corners:- Four circles are marked on the ground at the angles of a square and another circle is drawn in the centre. A player stands inside each of these five rings. The player in the centre-circle is called "the fool" because she has no corner.
The girls in the four corners exchange places. If she gets into a ring before another girl, she is no longer "the fool". The girl who loses a corner become "the fool".- Collector
