Little Hares
Translation details
Model:mistral-large-2512.Translated text
Section titled “Translated text”A game popular throughout Poland, suitable for children’s gardens and elementary schools. Location: a field, here and there overgrown with bushes, or a forest. The game leader (“hunter” or “master”) by lot (see the relevant chapter in the General Part) successively separates half of the players as “little hares”; the rest are “dogs.” Then he sends the hares off and ensures that the dogs do not see where the hares hide (most often by covering their heads with a jacket or sheet). Finally, he gives the signal to the dogs, which run out to search. After some time, he calls the dogs back, who come one by one with or without prey. Then the following conversation takes place between the leader and the dog: Where have you been? — Beyond the mountains. — What did you see? — A hare with claws. — Did you catch it? I caught it. — Well done! (or: — I didn’t catch it — Then you’re a fool!) Afterward, the caught hares become dogs, and the game continues.
