    of skittles. i got a long stick and a saw. I cut five pieces off it about three inches long and three pieces about three feet long. Then I made a ring on the road and I made a cross on it and I made a cross line about half a foot back from line the ring, called the short line. About 10 feet back from that line I drew another line. I placed the five small ones in the ring and I stood behind the farthest away line and I threw the three bigs ones at the ring one by one. If one of them hit the ground between me and the short line I would have to lay out for that turn and when I hit a skittle I sould drive it out of the ring.
