| Each child has been asked to bring an inexpensive
gift which is to be given to some other guest. Guests form a
circle and when the signal is given, each child starts passing
his gift to the right, the gifts continuing as rapidly as possible
around the circle. Suddenly, and before a gift has a chance
to pass back to its owner, a whistle is blown, and the gift
each child is holding at the time the whistle is blows is the
gift he may take home with him, unless his powers of persuasion
are such that he can persuade a friend to change with him, “sight
unseen”! |
