- (continued from previous page)pop goes the weasel." At the end of the rhyme "middle man" tries to get in the middle of the ring and then the weasel gets into the "middle man's" place.
- The game is played in the following manner. Aoo the girls go down on their knees and they put down there [their] heads. One girl goes round as Santa Claus and the girls in the ring say "who goes round my fine storey house" and the girl or Santa Claus says "no one but Santa Claus", the girls in the ring say take care would you take any of my fine fat chickens. Then Santa Claus says "no but this little weeny, weeny, one" and he picks out one and he goes round and the ones he picks out will follow him and so on until they all are up. The last one then is Santa Claus again.
