    (continued from previous page)
    The girl who says this rhyme will throw the little ball of blue, the handkerchief, at some of the other girls.
    The girl at whom she throws it will run after her and try to catch her. If she runs round one person twice the pursuer will have to do the same. If one girl catches the other she will go round with the ball of blue and say the same rhyme as before.
