Running through the streets one Halloween night a millennium ago, as
part of my official initiation as a junior jihadist, I snatched a
two-year-old girl's Halloween candy bag, and kept on going.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family:

At one point I came to a clearing that opened onto a play area with
tanbark, teeter-totters and a big jungle jim. From where I stood I could
see a large group of children – mostly six and seven years old –
swinging single file through the steel jungle jim rings, laughing and
yelling.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family:

As I watched I noticed that the last child in the line was a little boy
about three years of age. He had followed the older kids and, in his
determination to keep up, had somehow managed to climb up the steps of
the jungle jim and swing himself out onto the first ring. The problem
was, the little guy’s arms were far too short to reach the next ring,
and his legs far too stubby to get back to the steps. The only way out
was a drop straight down to the ground, which from that little boy's
frame of reference amounted to a death plunge. The poor kid was
terrified.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family:

Now the other children had all successfully navigated the rings and run
off to the next adventure, completely oblivious to the boy’s
plight. Helpless, he hung there perfectly straight, whimpering softly.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family:
