FEATHERS
Reading edition
This is a game in which you have to “pay attention,” and perhaps you have played it at school. You must all sit in a circle and let your hands hang down from the wrists. The leader of this game begins, “Cats have feathers, dogs have feathers, rabbits have feathers, geese have feathers.” The minute he names something that really has feathers, you must all raise your hands and wave them. Whoever doesn’t do this must pay a forfeit. As the leader must speak very, very quickly, it is easy to be “caught napping.”
