WHAT SPORT THEY HAD, DIVING AND SWIMMING!
While the women were busy and the men hunting and fishing, the children gathered for games. Some of the boys ran to the river. What sport they had diving and swimming!
Others jumped on their ponies and had a fine time racing.
How they did dash along, so fearless and brave!
Now one was ahead, now another!
How they laughed and shouted as they rode!
The ponies seemed to enjoy the race as much as the boys.
Some of the older boys were enjoying a game of javelins which they were playing.
They had lined up on either side of the field.
