That child chooses a wife from the children who are holding hands and they stay within the circle. The one who is the wife picks one of the children who is holding hands to be the child. The three stand in the circle and so on. Once the cheese is picked all of the children leave the middle of the circle and join the children who make the circle, holding hands.
