Once when Domingos, Rapson and me walked in the community, Domingos just jumped a big one on the path. It turned out he saw a chameleon - and he was afraid of it. I was amazed about his fear, since the chameleon is not harmful at all – and he couldn’t explain either why. We continued our way – and our conversation too about the "local animals":
Me: - Are there snakes around, too?
D: - Yes.
Me: - Really?! But have you seen here?
D: - Yes!
Me: - Are you afraid of the snakes too?
D: - No. Only of the Chameleon.
Me: - So what do you do if you see a snake? Do you run away?
D: - No. I kill it and eat it.
Well, after seeing him jumping away from a chameleon, this wasn’t the answer I expected from him.
Today, he proved he was really not afraid of the snakes. But he didn’t kill and eat it – he let it go a little bit further away from our center.
Should we eat it?
