I love basketball and so do my sons. It’s our bonding session. But since we can’t play outside, I got them an indoor board. I remember telling them one time: “Take care of this and your other toys. We worked hard for them, they cost money and you ought to be grateful...
So the owner of a crocodile farm challenged a bunch of tourists that if any of them could jump on the infested waters, swim across a distance, and survive, he would give them a million dollars. No one dared. Suddenly a man jumped, swam as fast as he could and made it!...
