Ball to the Cap
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”(Gilcraft). The boys’ caps lie close together in the center of a circle with a radius of about 10 feet. The patrol stands on the circumference of the circle. One boy throws a tennis ball, aiming at one of the caps, but not his own. If he misses, a marker is placed in his cap; if he misses 3 times, he yields his place to another. The owner of the cap into which the ball falls runs to grab the ball and shouts: “Stop!” The rest scatter but halt upon hearing the word. The player with the ball may not step outside the circle and attempts to hit one of the boys. If he misses, a marker is placed in his cap; the one he hits will be the next to throw the ball at the caps. The patrol with the fewest markers in their caps wins.
