Translated text

Or would you like me to tell you how… you played Crane. Łukasz Górnicki. A game of village boys in the Kraków region, suitable for elementary schools and the lowest grades of secondary schools. The children choose from among themselves a “crane,” who, with a stick in hand, guards a pile of caps (balls, or similar objects). The rest of the players form a circle and move around the crane. At these words, the children run into the center, and each tries to take as many caps as possible and escape from the crane’s blows. If the crane strikes someone, that person must return their loot. The game ends when no caps remain, and in the next round, the one who collected the most becomes the crane.
