At dusk, in a dense thicket… Two boys with whistles hide somewhere deep inside. One of them whistles. The patrol rushes in pursuit in that direction. Suddenly, they hear a whistle from another side. So they turn toward it (not knowing that there are two being sought), thinking that the same one has slipped through—and let him escape; in this way, the two hidden boys lure their comrades this way and that, until the trick is revealed and both fall into the hands of their avengers. The game can also take place on a playing field or in a hall, but with the boys’ eyes blindfolded.
