Head-carrying

Okay, kiddo, have you ever carried something heavy like a big bag of groceries or a jug of water? It can be hard and tiring carrying things like this for a long time, right?

Well, in some parts of the world, like in Africa, people have a special way of carrying things on their heads instead of their hands. It's called head-carrying!

Head-carrying is when someone balances something, like a basket of eggs or a pot of water, on top of their head. They use their strong neck muscles to hold the weight of the object and keep it balanced on their head.

This is really helpful for people who need to carry a lot of things at once, like when they go to the market to buy food or water for their family. By carrying things on their head, they can free up their hands to carry even more things!

It's important to be careful when head-carrying because if the object falls off, it could break or spill. So, people who are really good at head-carrying practice a lot to make sure they have good balance and can carry things safely.

So, that's head-carrying in a nutshell, kiddo! It's a cool way people in some parts of the world carry heavy things on their heads to make their lives easier.
