A rural girls’ game from the Kraków region, suitable for children’s gardens and elementary schools (for girls). The girls form a circle, holding hands0. In the center is the “lady,” searching for her cook. The lady strikes up a conversation: — Have you not seen my little cook? (The one who feels guilty responds): — What has she done to you, ma’am? — She burned the peas, drank the milk, and fled up the chimney! At this, the “little cook” runs away, and the “lady” chases her; when caught, they switch places.
