Submitter comment: THE LEADER WHO IS SINGING THE SONG ASKS THE PLAYER TO GUESS WHICH
HAND THE ROCK IS IN. IF THE PLAYER GUESSES WHICH HAND THE ROCK IS IN
HE GETS A CHANCE TO PASS TO A GRADE. THIS CONTINUES
ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TWELFTH GRADE. THIS GAME IS PLAYED ON THE
STEPS, AND YOU MOVE UP THE STEPS TO A HIGHER GRADE, IF YOU GUESS
THE RIGHT HAND THE ROCK IS IN.
