Girl tribe cheer...



To follow is the leader recording the rules of girl tribe on bark, with a stick pen. The rules are:

1. Finger knit all day.
2. Don't lie.
3. Be nice to each other.
4. Have fun.
5. Never tell secrets or the secret hideout.
6. Only leaders can wear compasses, and when I tap your head you're in girl tribe.
7. You can have fake cousins. [As boys can only belong if they are cousins.]
