Children's game

[Valery Belyanin]

Dear SEELANGers
>>From my happy childhood I remember
"Idjot koza rogataya za malymy rebyatami"
(here a goat with horns goes for little kids)
and the little finger and the ukazatelnyj finger are in front and the
rest three are like a head of a goat.
and two fingers like in Victory behind the head mean a hair
