    Hares and hounds is another game I play. My brothers and I play it. One of us is called the hare and the rest are called the hounds. If he gets into the den without being caught he will run again.
    Fox and the goos is (and) another game that we play. First you make a square a make small squares in it. Two is all that is allowed to play it at a time. It is played in the long winter nights.
