One side had bone rings, and the other side long javelins.
Now one player threw a ring, and the opposite player tried to catch it on his javelin.
Oh! the first player caught the other’s ring.
Now the next two players tried and one caught the other’s ring.
The third player didn’t take good aim and lost his partner’s ring. He must give his javelin to the opposite side.
After all on one side have had a chance to catch the rings, the opposite side will have a chance.
When both sides have tried, the side having more javelins will win the game.
The boys had great fun as they played. They laughed and shouted and danced for joy.
Mewanee grew tired of watching and wandered off into the forest. No one noticed his going.
He had his bow and arrow with him.
