II. Read the passage and write if the sentence is true (T) or false (F).
Cat and Mouse Game
Each game requires between seven and ten people. They stand in a circle, hold hands and raise their hands above their heads. Then they start singing the song. One person is chosen as the cat and another as the mouse. These two stand in the middle of the circle and lean against each other. When the others sing the last sentence, the mouse starts to run, and the cat must run after it. However, the cat must run in the same route and manner as the mouse. The cat wins the game when it catches the mouse. Then the two exchange roles. If the cat runs into the wrong hole, it will be dismissed from that round.
If it fails to catch the mouse in a certain period (usually from three to five minutes for kindergarten-age children), it will exchange its role with the mouse. The game will then continue.
