Another Romão Story

Another story from Romão illustrating what life is like when you're a care-free teenager here in Africa:

-"Luc, this head hurts"
-"Okay Romão, tell us what happened."

So he proceeds to tell us:

-"Its ecause of beans."
-"What?"
-"I was up there in my classroom, and I really had to go, but we have no latrines up there, so I ran behind the Vodacom tower to take care of my needs. I wasn't really controlling what I was doing until I realized I was running through crazy beans [a local plant here which produces pods covered in irritating hairs similar to stinging nettles]. Now my entire body itches. I was scratching so much they almost kicked me out of class during finals. So, that's why my head hurts."
