The man who married the moon, and other Pueblo Indian folk-stories, The Magic Hide-and-seek, sentence 122

I may add that the game of hide-and-seek is still played by my dusky little neighbors, the Pueblo children, and the searching-song is still sung by them, exactly as the boys and the old witch played and sang--but of course without their magical talent at hiding.

Who acts: I, dusky little neighbors, children, old witch, magical talent · What happens: add, play, sing, hide · To what, where: game, searching song
