Translated text

A rural children’s game from the Kraków region: application as in the previous one. A player chosen as the “strzygoń” lies on the ground, pretending to be asleep. The others circle around him, calling out: — The first hour, the strzygoń sleeps, The second hour, the strzygoń sleeps, and so on, up to the eleventh, at which they call: — Strzygoń, wake up, give us dumplings! — The strzygoń jumps up in pursuit, while all the others flee. Whoever he catches becomes the strzygoń.
