LIfe in Africa with Rats

When I lived in the village we had small cute
little mice (NOT CUTE) (another story) and
then we had..... RATS not R.O.U.S (Rodents
of unusual size) but they were certainly RATS!!
Anyhow one of the good old times was watching
young boys go after RATS and killing them..
These RATS would have these nice deep holes
and so they had to be forced out of the hole!
The boys were clever and so they would have
a big bucket of water and pour that into the
hole. There were always a group of the boys that
had sticks whatever they could gather and when
the RAT came rushing out they would proceed to
beat It and chase it if need be.. When the RAT was
deceased they would burn the hair off and clean it
and in the very end eat it
Happy RAT hunting!! :)

Great start! I'd like to know more about your daily life in Africa. What kinds of foods did you eat? What was your schooling like? How was your life similar to or different from the African children's? Parles-tu francais maintenant? Il faut pratique, non?

I remember visiting you in Africa and I think you made some coconut candy. You had some interesting pets, too.
