A late entry
Way back in the mists of time, I went to stay with a cousin.

He lived in the middle of some woods, and we went out exploring, and generally having fun.

One day we were wandering through the trees, when we came across a manky old football, half buried in some leaves.

He, being a few years older than me, realised what it was, and dared me to kick it as far as I could. So, young Kaol ran up to it, and gave it a mighty kick.

But... My foot went straight through it.

Bees started coming out.

Bees started chasing us.

I don't think I've ever run as fast as that...

Due to karmic balance, I didn't get stung once, but my cousin, the instigator, had to go to hospital.
