(5.) The game has become a representation of selling pottery.--_German_, Frischbier, p. 183. Mannhardt, p. 284.--_Swedish_, Arwiddson, iii. 169, "Selling Pots," a dance, has become a mere mercenary transaction.--The English game of "Honey-pots" is a version of this, where the weighing feature is to be explained as in No. 152.--_Italian_, Bernoni, p. 57, "I Piteri," where the original idea reappears. The purchaser advances _limping_ (a characteristic of witches), and the game is one of stealing and recovery (like our London version E).--_Italian_, Gianandrea, No. 19. The first part of the game is played as in (3). The "pots" are weighed, as in the English game mentioned. Ferraro, G. Monfer., No. 43, where the purchaser is the devil, and the game thus passes over into the form of No. 153.--_Spanish_, Maspons y Labrós, p. 87, "Las Gerras." (6.) A game of stealing or measuring cloth.--_German_, Rochholz, p. 437, "Tuch anmessen." In this game, mentioned by the mother of Goethe (Düntzer, Frauenbilder aus Goethe's Jugendzeit, p. 506), the children are arranged against the wall to represent cloth, which the dealer measures and names by the color of the stockings of the children. A thief steals the cloth bit by bit, which the dealer must recover by guessing the color, a task of some difficulty, the stockings having been taken off in the interval. A very curious Low-German version, Brem. Wiegenlieder, p. 61, removes any doubt as to the relation of the amusement to the original game. In this version the colored cloths are only names for children. There are verbal coincidences with forms given in the text, the dialogue beginning "Mother, the broth is boiling over!" (as in our version B), put (as in our version C) into the mouth of the watcher left in charge by the absent mother; so Aus dem Kinderleben, p. 39, "Leinendieb." The remainder of the first paragraph of C will be found almost word for word in Handelmann, p. 57, No. 80, "Frau Rosen," a version of the form (2).--_Italian_, Bernoni, p. 55, "I Brazzi de Tela," "the measures of cloth." The thief advances _limping_, the owner having departed, steals the cloth, but is pursued, and the goods recovered, as in the game of pots described above. Ferraro, G. Monfer., No. 3.--_French_, Celnart, p. 43, "La Toile," has become a kissing romp of grown people. (7.) Finally, to the same root belong various rounds and dances which represent a mother who wishes to marry her many daughters, or of a poor widow who has but one daughter; see our No. 8, and note. 155. _German_, Grimm, No. 15, "Hansel und Grethel."
