Six Tobyks, a Bone Game

A tobyk is a little bone from a sheep's leg, like a tiny die. Long ago children played with them, like children now play ball or hide-and-seek. They tossed the bones and caught them, and it was fun, because the bones land differently, like a die with dots. Now tobyk is played less, but long ago it was a favorite game, like soccer in the yard.
