All of them would stand along in front of each other and bend down, except the last fellow and he leaps over the lad in front of him and leaps over the next lad, and then the first fellow he leaped, gets up and jumps after the other fellow, and the next lad gets up and jumps and when the first lad come to the end he bends down and so on.
