WHAT TIME IS IT, MR. FOX?

IN THIS GAME ONE CHILD WAS THE FOX AND THE REST WERE
SHEEP. THE SHEEP WOULD ASK "WHAT TIME IS IT, MR.
FOX?" AND THE FOX WOULD ANSWER, "ONE O'CLOCK."
THE SHEEP WOULD ASK AGAIN AND THE FOX WOULD ANSWER
"TWO O'CLOCK." THIS WOULD CONTINUE UNTIL TWELVE
O'CLOCK WHEN THE FOX WOULD CHASE ALL THE SHEEP.
THE ONE HE CAUGHT WOULD BECOME THE NEW FOX.
