The rest of the players, who are thecows and the sheep, run up and call Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn, the sheepare in the meadow, the cows in the corn. This awakens Little Boy Blue and hejumps up and chasesthe cows and sheep until he tags someone. Little Boy Blue takesthe one he has tagged back to the haystack and then Little Boy Blue joins the otherplayers and becomes a cow or sheep. The game begins again as before with the one whohas just been caught acting as Little Boy THE SPIDER AND THE FLY A spider web is made by the players who stand in a circle with their clasped handsheld high. One of the players, a spider, is inside the circle and another player, the fly,is outside the circle. The game begins by the spider prancing around coaxing the fly toenter his web by calling, — Will you walk into my parlor, pretty fly, pretty t\y, will you,will you, walk in? The fly is allowed to enter the circle, but as soon as he enters thespider darts out of the circle and the players immediately lower their arms to preventthe fly from escaping. The spider then prances around on the outside of the circle tanta-lizing the fly with Will you walk out, pretty fly, pretty fly, will you walk out? Thefly tries to escape by breaking through the web (clasped hands) or by crawling out underor over. When the ffy escapes she must catch the spider, who then becomes the fly, theformer fly taking her place in the circle. A new spider is chosen and the game proceedsas before. Shoul
