SWEDISH SONG GAMES
Setting. One player represents the fox; another, the goose; the
rest are goslings. The goslings stand in line behind the goose, each
with hands on shoulders of player in front. The fox sits on a stone.
Description. During the song the goose, followed by the goslings,
walks around the fox, who feigns sleep. At the end of the refrain,
the goose halts before the fox, with the goslings in line behind her.
The following conversation takes place:
Goose: Is Mr. Fox at home to-day?
Fox: Yes.
Goose: What is he doing?
Fox: He’s sitting on a stone,
Gnawing on a bone,
But he wants fresh meat for supper.
Goose: What shall it be?
Fox: You and your goslings.
At the last word, the fox springs forward to seize one of the
goslings, the goose with outspread wings endeavoring to prevent the
capture. The fox must not pull away the goose by force; the goslings
must retreat quickly without breaking shoulder grasp. Any gosling
breaking the grasp becomes the prize of the fox. Whenever a gosling
is caught the game halts and the line forms again. When no goslings
are left the game is repeated, the first gosling caught becoming the
fox, the last one the goose.
