STIR THE SOUP

SEVERAL "INGREDIENTS" ARE CHOSEN TO BE IN THE SOUP,
THE CENTER OF THE CIRCLE. THE COOK WALKS ABOUT AND
PRETENDS TO STIR THE SOUP; ALL OF THE "INGREDIENTS"
MOVE ABOUT. WHEN THE COOK CLAPS HIS HANDS, THE
SOUP IS DONE AND EACH CHILD RUNS TO HIS PLACE IN THE
CIRCLE. THE FIRST TO BE SEATED IS THE NEXT COOK
IN THE SOUP BOWL.
