  1. (continued from previous page)
    in some houses they say that some boy and girl whom they think (that) (some) will be married soon. They set two nuts on the fire and if one shoots away they are not to be married.
    In winter children amuse themselves by sitting round the fire reading stories, playing games, such as snakes Snakes and Ladders, Ludo, Draughts, and lots of others. These are played by two or more people.
