Camera Critters: Who Spied on Me?
>> Mar 20, 2010
That night, I was really surprised. Behind the bathroom window, there was a creature –a big house lizard- watched me (hahaha). Fortunately, though with scare, I was able to capture it with my camera, before it ran away. In the next morning, I can’t found it anywhere. Until now, about a month later, it has never come again…Indonesian people call it ‘tokek’, as their sounds like. The interesting thing is, we usually make a funny game with its sounds. You might have known that a big lizard seldom produces a sound. And every time a big lizard makes several sounds, we generally count it like this :
The man : rich …
The big lizard : tokek… (2nd sound)
The man : poor …
The big lizard : tokek… (3rd sound)
The man : rich …
The big lizard : tokek… (4th sound)
The man : poor …
The big lizard : tokek… (5th sound)
The man : rich…
The big lizard : ……….. (silent)
The man : hoooraaayy….. I’ll be rich….
It’s a funny or a silly game, huh? I just wonder whether people in other countries have also done a ‘counting game’ like we do here?
