While walking through the festivals stands, he saw that all of them are closed – but one, that attracted all people to gather around. Advin went to the front of the stand to see what gets people so exited. Then he saw the game that they are playing – Each one of the players were holding a simple paper with shuffled numbers on it, and the herald was taking little cards with numbers on them from an old box of cigars and yelled them to the crowed.
