I don't know how true it is but when I was a kid, I remember seeing an illustration in a book that showed this technique to demonstrate how Maasai boys killed lions.
Kill the lion and you go home as a man; don't kill the lion and you're a meal.
Kill the lion and you go home as a man; don't kill the lion and you're a meal.
Now: 9-year-old not allowed to walk to friend's house without an adult
You mean children should, for example, throw a big brick from a bridge over a highway - and then run away?!
This is not the kind of thing that I believe 9-year-olds should learn. :-(
Regardless, cars certainly predate on more 9-year-olds than lions do in this day and age.
