Another story about school and animals

Another story about school and animals

 

On Friday, Gift small was standing near the school.  A bird flew down close and then landed at his feet.  He picked it up and said that it was injured.  He wanted to eat it.  I said that we need to take care of it, not eat it.  Well within a little while the bird was dead.  (Maybe helped along in his dying by the children?)  Again they talked about eating it.  Maureen (from MI) and I both said that wasn't a good idea.  So they went and put it in some sand.  I even took pictures of this part of the story. 

 

Then something else happened.  All the pots and plates and buckets for carrying water are kept locked at night in the office.  They have to be moved to the kitchen area in the morning.  One child picked up the huge pot used to make shema everyday.  The mothers always leave water in it overnight to soak off the shema that sticks to the bottom of the pot.  When they looked in the pot, there was a "rat" in the process of drowning.  Again, to them it was more opportunity for lunch meat.  The rat got thrown into the bush.

 

I learned later that the bird did get eaten, cooked over the brazier.  Nelson and Isaac cooked it.  I wasn't there during lunch so I didn't get to have a bite.
