[Two children sit opposite to each other; the first turns her fingers one over the other, and says:]
"May my geese fly over your barn?"
[The other answers, Yes, if they'll do no harm. Upon which the first unpacks the fingers of her hand, and waving it over head, says:]
"Fly over his barn and eat all his corn."
