EASTER GAME--SYRIAN

THEY WOULD TAKE A GOOD, FIRM, HARD-BOILED EGG AND
ANOTHER PERSON WOULD HOLD IT IN HIS HAND WITH
JUST A PORTION OF THE PEAK SHOWING, AND THE OTHER
PARTY WOULD TAKE AN EGG AND GENTLY TRY TO CRACK
YOUR EGG. AND WHOEVER DID THE CRACKING, WON THE EGG.
THIS IS CARRIED ON WITHIN THE OCTAVE OF EASTER.

Submitter comment: HER FAMILY AND RELATIVES DID THIS.
