In England and Europe, there are a number of special wells called wishing wells. Some think that if you throw a coin into the water and{#blank#}1{#/blank#}, the wish will come true later. Also in England, there are other wishing customs that{#blank#}2{#/blank#}at Christmas and on birthday.

    At Christmas people like to eat the turkey and somewhere {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the turkey there is a special bone, shaped{#blank#}4{#/blank#}the letter Y. It is called the wish bone. If anyone finds this bone, he is thought to be rather{#blank#}5{#/blank#}. He invites someone else to break the bone with him. Each person holds one arm of the bone and{#blank#}6{#/blank#}. When the bone breaks, the person who has the larger part makes a wish which is{#blank#}7{#/blank#}to come true in a year.

    Do you know how to play a game called "Musical Chairs"? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, some people and some ways of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the{#blank#}3{#/blank#} direction to the chair next to it.

    The game is easy. When the music {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction. Of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.

    When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. At last, there will be two players and only one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.
