Today I spent the afternoon in the market, sitting at a table that had been "varnished" with packing tape. A little boy and I spent at least an hour playing with two paper towel tubes, an empty bottle, and two bottle caps. First it's a telescope, then it's a tower. We played Jenga--see who can push it furthest before it fall over. We built houses and found ways to hide the bottle caps inside. We played 3-card monty with one tube and two caps: guess which is where. Then we started to flick them across the table at each other until he discovered a sort of foam tennis ball and now we're really talking.
I'm pretty sure the total cost of that was zero. Oh, the things North America could learn from this boy…
