Fig. [472].—"Here are my mother's knives and forks,"

Lay your two hands down showing the palms; lace the fingers together and say,

"Here Are My Mother's Knives and Forks"

([Fig. 472]). Of course, the fingers are the knives and forks. Turn your hands over while the fingers remain in place, bring the wrists down and say, "Here is my father's table" ([Fig. 473]). Raise the two first fingers, bringing their tips together, and say, "Here is my sister's looking-glass" ([Fig. 474]). Then raise your two little fingers and, rocking the hands from side to side, say, "And here is the baby's cradle" ([Fig. 475]).

There is another little finger game, which we will call

"The Blackbirds."
