Eight children spent a fun-filled 2 hours on a winter's day running back and forth between two houses, throwing rocks at the houses. Their parents watched them without trying to stop them at all, even though there was ice where they were running. In fact, the parents cheered the good throws. Why?
Answer
The children were curling.The game of curling is a lot of fun, and is played by people of all ages.
In curling, 2 four-player teams "throw" curling stones ("rocks") at targets called "houses" at either end of an ice sheet. Players run alongside the rocks, sweeping the ice surface to make the rocks go straighter and faster.
