	fROEBEL.
	[Note:/—This may be used as a finger game; tbe fingersof one hand may go to sleep in the other. At the words, "Get up!" the fingers arouse themselves, and at "Cuckoo!" all the fingers playfully scamper about on the table. It may be used, too, to arouse the "pigeons" or "chickens" in the "Pigeon-House," or in "See the chickens." Or a bed has been built with the Third or Fourth Gift, little paper dolls have gone to sleep in these and are aroused with this song. In such games as the "Pigeon-House." Birdie in the Beach Grove," "See the chickens," a few children cod cealed in some corner of the room may represent cuckoos and give the cuckoo call at the right time.
