Neevie-Neevie-Nick-Nack

“N EEVIE-NEEVIE-NICK-NACK .”—A lottery game, and confined to boys, is of simple movement, but convenient in this—that only two players are required. They stand facing each other, the leader whirling his two closed fists, one containing a prize, the other empty, while he cajoles his opponent with the rhyme—
Neevie-neevie-nick-nack,
Whilk hand will ye tak'—
The richt ane or the wrang,
I'll beguile ye gin I can? If he guesses correctly, he gains the prize. If he misses, he has to equal the stake. Until success falls to the second, the original player continues the lead.
