We had twenty-six small pieces of cardboard．On each of these we had printed a letter of the alphabet（字母表）．Before we started to play，we decided what the game would be about．Let us imagine that we chose to play animals．One of us would then mix up（弄乱）the cards and turn over one of them．If the letter on the card happened to be C，we would try to think，as quickly as possible，of an  animal which began with C，such as cat，cow，camel and so on．The one who first gave the name of the animal received that card．This was done with each of the twenty-six cards．In the end the person who had the most cards won the game．
