LIZARDS CATCHING IN KAMPONG DAYS....

actually during kampong days, lizards catching was one of my favorite past time.

we used the main vein from the coconut leaf...after stripping of the leaf, u get the stick with very long fine thread ending. we tied the ending into a loop ...u know like the cowbody lasso...and tied a piece of cotton wool behind the loop.

then we sticked this self made gadget into the lobangs where the lizards dwell..u can feel the lizard eating and tugging at the cotton wool, then u give a swift pull. out came the lizard looped in the loop tightly struggling like a hooked fish..

next play with the lizard. we tied a thread round the lizard's neck...and pulled it along like a puppy...some sadistic children worst..broke their tail and see it wriggled frantically...

so fun...the joy of catching one hanging on ur coconut stick is priceless!
