Act I[edit] sound of music

In Salzburg, Austria, just before World War II, nuns from Nonnberg Abbey sing the Dixit Dominus. One of the postulants, Maria
Rainer, is on the nearby mountainside, regretting leaving the beautiful hills ("The Sound of Music") where she was brought up.
She returns late. The Mother Abbess and the other nuns consider what to do about her ("Maria"). Maria explains her lateness,
saying she was raised on that mountain, and apologizes for singing in the garden without permission. The Mother Abbess joins
her in song ("My Favorite Things").[5] The Mother Abbess tells her that she should spend some time outside the abbey to decide
whether she is ready for the monastic life. She will act as the governess to the seven children of a widower, Austro-Hungarian
Navy submarine Captain Georg von Trapp.
Maria arrives at the villa of Captain von Trapp. He explains her duties and summons the children with a boatswain's call. They
march in, clad in uniforms. He teaches her their individual signals on the call, but she openly disapproves of this militaristic
approach. Alone with them, she breaks through their wariness and teaches them the basics of music ("Do-Re-Mi").
Rolf, a young messenger, delivers a telegram and then meets with the oldest child, Liesl, outside the villa. He claims he knows
what is right for her because he is a year older than she ("Sixteen Going on Seventeen"). They kiss, and he runs off, leaving her
screaming with joy. Meanwhile, the housekeeper, Frau Schmidt, gives Maria material to make new clothes, as she had given all
her possessions to the poor. She sees Liesl slipping in through the window, wet from a sudden thunderstorm, but agrees to keep
her secret. The other children are frightened by the storm. Maria sings "The Lonely Goatherd" to distract them.

Habulan Estatwa
Habulan estatwa is a children's chasing game designed for three or more players. It is a variation
of habulan wherein the players who get caught by the chaser do not automatically become tagged, but are to
freeze in place instead.

Etymology
The game literally translates into chase-statue, a nod to how frozen players become like immobile sculptures.

Setup
A chasing player is randomly determined by a round of jack-en-poy, the local version of rock-paper-scissors,
or maiba-taya, a game there the players reveal their hands either palm up or palm down at the same time and
the player who did not reveal the same hand orientation loses and gets picked as the chaser. Alternatively, the
players might decide that the fastest runner should be the chaser at first.

Rules
The game starts like a normal game of habulan where a the chaser runs after the other players. However,
when he catches a player, that player has to freeze in place. A frozen player needs to stay immobile while the
game continues around him. If he moves, he becomes the new chaser and all previously frozen players are
free to move and run again.
If the chaser manages to freeze all the players, he has to wait for one of them to move. That player then
becomes the chaser, all the other players are unfrozen, and the game continues.
A variation of the game allows unfrozen players to free frozen ones by touching them. This variant is more
difficult for the chaser, especially if the other players are more coordinated
Because the game does not have a definite conclusion, it only ends when the players are exhausted or called
home. Alternatively, players shout Viva! in the event of all the players getting frozen, and the last person to
shout will be the new chaser.
