A Surprise Game

Tell everybody in the room that you will give to each, in a whisper, the name of some animal whose peculiar cry they are to imitate in concert at a given signal. To all but two persons a lady and gentleman, the simple charge to "keep perfectly silent" is given. Tell the lady to bark like a dog, and the gentleman to crow like a rooster. Then saying all be ready when I say three. Count, "one; two; three!" When a lusty crow and bark from the victims of the joke and a laugh from the others, tell them that the general amusement has been at their expense.
