PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR. Today’s Game. Did you ever play Cat and Rat? Well, this is the way it’s done: One player is chosen for cat and one for rat. The others all form a circle with clasped hands. The cat stands outside of the circle and the rat in side. The game opens with a conver sation between the cat and rat. The cat says: "I ara the cat." The rat says: “I am the rat.” The cat says: “I will catch you.” The rat says: “You can’t.” This last defiance is a signal for a chase. The cat tries to get into the circle, and the rat tries to evade him. Both may run in and out the circle, but the other players will assist the rat by raising their hands to let him run under, and they will try to foil the efforts of the cat by preventing his breaking through the circle either inward or outward. When the rat is caught lie joins the circle and the cat becomes the rat; a new cat is chosen from the circle of players. The game is played with 10 to 30 or more players.
