Verse
“Don't criticize one another, brothers. He who criticizes a brother or judges his brother criticizes the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.

One player is the “hunter” and the others are “birds.”  The hunter throws a ball at the birds, who may run freely about within the boundaries determined by the players before the start of the game.  When the birds are hit with the ball, they become dogs and help the hunter by recovering and throwing the ball to the hunter.  The hunter is the only one that may hit the birds.  The last bird to be hit becomes the hunter for the next game.  HI
