I watched one of these nature shows one time and they were talking about how a Bushman finds water when it’s scarce. And what they do, it’s called a “Salt Trap.”
Like, I didn’t know this but apparently, baboons love salt.
So they put a lump of salt in a hole and they wait for the baboon.
The baboon comes sticking his hand in the hole.
Grabs the salt.
The salt makes his hand bigger.
And he’s trapped.
He can’t get his hand out.
Now if he’s smart.
All he has to do is let go of the salt.
Baboon doesn’t want to let go of the salt.
Then the Bushmasters comes,
takes the baboon,
throws him in the cage,
and gives him all the salt he wants.
And then the baboon gets thirsty.
The bushmen let him out of the cage.
The first place of baboon runs to is water.
Bushman follows him.
And they both drink to their fill.
And in that analogy, I felt like the baboon.
But I was smart enough,
To let go of the salt.
