Children’s toys, and a stoning

For several days, I was working near a very poor village just behind my work area where there was a bunch of kids, maybe 30 to 40 children hanging around with nothing to do apart from watching us, all day, every day. So I decided I was gonna buy some sports equipment. I bought five footballs, a cricket bat and balls, and other things like that. I handed it over to the leader of the village and then he gave it to the kids…they were really happy. Immediately afterwards, due to an early morning traffic incident, the leader of the village went to stone someone to death, because that person shot a man from a neighboring village in a traffic accident. Two cars had crashed on the dust-road about 2 km away from my workplace. Both drivers got out and started arguing, then one drew a pistol and shot the other. By the way, the village leader attended the victim’s funeral too. Then the villagers handed over the stoned-dead body to the police. They really know how to make a point.
