“Holidays of Great Britain”. Odina: Do, please! I’ll be glad if I can help you. Nasiba: They say that on Halloween parties the children play different merry games. Do you know any of these plays? Odina: Oh, yes, I’ve read it recently in one book. Nasiba: Oh, really, how nice of you. Please, do your best! Odina: One of the merry games is called “DUCK APPLE”. Nasiba: Oh, what game is it? Why is it called so? Odina: OK, listen, my darling. A large bowl is filled with cold, sometimes soapy water and a number of apples floated in it. One or two players at a time get down on their knees and, with their hands tied behind their backs, try to get hold of one of the apples with their teeth. When they have done this they must lift the apple out of the basin. If they do this they may eat it.
This is similar to Duck Apple, but when the player’s hands have been tied behind his back a fork is placed between his teeth. He has to kneel on or lean over the chair beside the basin and must try to stab one of the floating apples and lift it out.
