Nigeria
Count, Throw, Run
The Yoruba Child
In a Lagos courtyard, a girl closes her eyes, holds six stones and one tooth in her fist, and counts to six out loud. "I want my tooth back!" she shouts — then opens her hand and HURLS everything into the air. She runs. She does not look back. The old tooth has been left behind on purpose. The new one is already chasing her home.
