The stick
When I was at my 8-10 years I used to be in my grandmother’s village every summer. I loved this time. I played with my friends the whole day, we explored everything around, went swimming, ate wild berries, played different games. It was a lot of fun and joy. I came back to home only for dinner or supper, I was outside until sunset and a little bit more.
However, sometimes I was alone and had to entertain myself. I invented some simple and curious game for me. In some place of the village, I took one wood stick and threw it in the sky. When It fell to the ground I looked where pointed the sharp end of the stick, and went this way straight until I would find something interesting. Once it was broken toy, another time it was a coin, some insect or rodents' house or just some metallic detail from somewhere. It could point to the fence with the angry dog behind also or just to the tree.
I liked this game, maybe it looks silly now, but it was a little adventure for me each time. I miss those sunny, carefree days.

The stick
When I was"Would" > To talk about something that happened often in the past > Whenever I visited my grandma, I would bring her a present ( meaning this had happened every time you visited her).
However, there was a time a time when I was alone, and I had to find a way to entertain myself. So, I invented a simple and interesting curious game for myself. Let me tell you how this game came about. While out walking somewhere in of the village one day, I picked up a wooden stick took one wood stick and threw it up into the air sky. When It fell back down to the ground, I then looked at where pointed the sharp end of the stick was pointing, and I decided to follow in that direction went this way straight until I would find something interesting. This was the game I had invented.
Once it was broken toy, another time it was a coin, some insect or rodents' house or just some metallic detail from somewhere. It could point to the fence with the angry dog behind also or just to the tree.
> Since then, I had tried that out many times with various objects . Once it was with a broken toy. Another time it was a coin, an aerosol can or just something metallic. They had pointed out many directions for me to follow, with one that had once led me to a fence with an angry dog behind it, while the others led to me to nowhere of interest, maybe just to a tree.
I liked this game, which certainly seems maybe it looks silly to me now, but, at that time, it was a little adventure for me each time I played it. I miss those sunny, carefree days.

Yeah, it's a good idea, need to think about it :)

I think this is a great way for a curious mind to explore the world, letting chance point the way. I wonder what the adult equivalent of that game is? :)
