NP: Handy trick

[Glenn Scheper]

The Basarwa have developed a system of locating water sources.

This task is performed by adult men who teach younger ones how
to locate water sources. Firstly, the adults trap a baboon or a
monkey and tie it on a tree for along period of time. Secondly,
the animal is fed with salt. Scientifically, thirst is induced
in the animal. Thirdly, after sometime on closer observation, the
animal is released. The psychology in doing that lies in the fact
that the animal will need water immediately on being released.
The animal will run to a water source on its release. The adults
will then follow the tracks of the animal to the water source,
and consequently water will be discovered by this process.

Yours truly,
