Show A Chinese Game Chinese boys play a serpent game which is quite exciting, and you might like to try it. A dozen or more boys form a line, each lad with his hand on the shoulders of the boy in front of him One of the boys is "wolf," the boy at the head of the line is the "head" of the serpent, and the last is the "tail." The "wolf" stands near the head ot the serpent until the signal sig-nal for the start is given. Then he tries to catch the tail without touching touch-ing any other part of the snake. The boys who form the body ot the serpent protect the tail by writ!iiii-r about in all sorts ot twists to prevent Ihe wolf catching tile tail. This must be clone without breaking the line When Ihe "tail" is caught, the "wolf becomes the "head," and the "tall" be comes the "wolf." |
