Red Bucket

Khumjung? Everest region, Nepal. The company of local volleyball players was playing in the village stadium, when suddenly I noticed this boy behind a pile of stones. He squatted next to his red bucket and piled stones into it. He collected half a bucket, tried to get up, but could not even move. For a while the boy was sitting on the ground, watching the volleyball players. But remembering about his task, he threw several stones from the bucket, stood up and slowly went through the stadium, sometime looking back at the players. -------------------------- By the way, many guides going to Everest are from Khumjung.
