Random Sand Fact

In Zambia, there is an old saying about a lion’s footprint in the sand.

An older man sees the print while travelling with younger people. He says nothing. Instead, he wipes it away so the others will not become afraid.

The saying is about judgement: not passing on everything you see when it would only create fear.

A mark in sand can matter. So can removing it.
