Baby Lok Lin. He
was only born near the end of Crystal Coffin, but here he is,
barely four years old and already riding one
of the village pack
ponies. That's the village cooking shelter being rebuilt in the top
left hand corner. The rock wall behind it has been covered in
concrete recently too. The croc still lives down at the creek,
but he doesn't get to eat people any more. He's back to being
used as a garbage disposal for big bones, dead chickens and other
livestock that die of old age.
Science Experiment
Ask your teacher to show you three ways to make small controlled explosions in the class room and discuss different methods of measuring the success of each one. E.g. comparing measurements of the debris fields, weight of debris, height or width of explosions, most colourful, funniest, scariest, most dangerous etc.
