The exams had been fun, but it was still more fun to play - which cookie would do this afternoon with Sarkon. They had decided to play Blind-Man's Bluff (a slightly more obscure version of blind-man's buff), and on the way leading to Sarkon, cookie tried to practice as much as possible. But it was difficult: the sun was shining, the sky was clear - only a single tiny cloud drifted through the sky - and so many things caught the eye - rabbits, clovers, a worm, or even the tiny cloud - that he opened his eyes often and for long, so that his practicing Blind-Man's Bluff was soon reduced to mere eyewinks. If you want to play Blind-Man's Bluff with them, you may do so at 15. If you'd rather want cookie and Sarkon to play a game that makes more sense, see at 18. If you've never played Blind-Man's Bluff (or buff) and do not know what it is, go to 20.
