Any number of players can take part in it. “A good fat hen.” These words must be repcated by the players in turn. Then the leader says: “Two ducks and a good fat hen.” The players also repeat this, as they - all the sentences that follow. Any player that misses @ word. or misplaces one, must pay a forfeit. and it may also be required that they should all speak with a grave face, a smile or a laugh subjecting the offender to the payment of a forfeit. As it is well nigh impessible to go through the game without plenty of laughter, it is likely that there will be 2 goodly number of forfeits before it is ended. Here are the other sentences spoken by the leader: “Three wild geese, two-ducks and a good fat hen.” “Four plump partridges, three wild geese, two ducks and a’ good fat hen.” “Five pouting pigeons, four plump partridges, three wild geese, two ducks and a good fat hen.” & . “Six long-legged cranes, five pouting pigeons, four plump partridges, three wild geese, two ducks and a good fat hen.” even green parrots, six long-legged cranes, five pouting pigeons, four plump partridges, three wild geese, two ducks and a good fat hen.” ht screeching owls, seven green parrots, six long-legged cranes, five pouting pigeons, four plump partridges, three wild geese, two ducks and a good fat hen.” - ine turkey buzzards, eight screeching owls, seven green parrots, six longZlegged cranes, five pouting pigeons, four plump partridges, three wild geese, two ducks and a good fat hea.
