The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

GAME FOR TRAVELING: YOU WOULD COUNT AS YOU RODE. ALL
ANIMALS COUNTED ONE, BUT A WHITE HORSE COUNTED FIVE.
YOU DIDN'T COUNT POULTRY AS THEY WERE TOO HARD TO SEE.
SOMETIMES, A KID WOULD FIND OUT WHERE ONE WAS AND
ALWAYS SIT ON THAT SIDE. THE HIGHEST POINT COLLECTOR
GOT A PRIZE AT THE END OF THE TRIP.
