rubber ball

This game begins in the forest, in search of a tree called a rubber tree. Then comes the extraction of the latex from the stem. The next step requires patience: you have to wait a whole night for the latex to gain the right consistency to be rolled. But the wait is worth it – and what the kids say when they see the balls jumping high in the air.
