Resourceful

This is Pajero. He came to Mama Lendo's house to ask if he could use her big plastic bucket. There were a few holes in it, so he took some time to fix it. He heated the blade of his machete in the fire until it was good and hot, then placed in on the bucket where the holes and cracks were so that the plastic would start to melt and he could smooth it and patch it. It took him quite a while to fix, but he succeeded. It amazes me how much "broken" and "useless" stuff we throw out that the Baka look at and say "that can be fixed". Another thing they do (I'll try to get a picture to post soon) is use "dead" batteries to play their radio. Say their radio takes 4AA batteries, and they don't have money for new ones. They will come ask us if we have any used batteries. They will make a battery holder and align 8 or more "dead" AA batteries together just to get enough charge to run their radio for a few more hours. It's amazing!
