said. He says, 81 had for dinner to-
day antelope and beans" The next
person continues, 81 had for dinner
today antelope, beans and carrots,
Then the next neighbor adds, u
had for dinner today antelope,
beans, carrots and dates This can
be carried on with almost every let
ter in the alphabet, and the game
lasts until the list grows beyond the
memory Of the players.
