– «I know, I was bitten by these ants! I immediately began to gnaw them»! – Hanukkah sighed.

– «So, you have not yet passed your ritual and have not become a real Indian», – answered Mamuka.

– «Why endure this sore bite»? – the dog asked.

– «In order to understand what your pain threshold is».

– «Threshold? But the threshold is at the door, below», – Hanukkah was surprised.

– «Listen to me carefully, now I’ll read it to you», – Mamuka said and sighed.

The pain threshold for each Indian is different. This does not mean that someone is stronger or weaker. The ant is small, but it is the most powerful creature on earth. It’s almost the same here. A small mosquito bite can hurt and make you cry. But this is not an indicator of strength. It’s just that the Indian’s body is not prepared for this. The largest pain threshold in my memory was the Wasp’s Sting Indian. While the brave Indian was eating a watermelon, Iramoka’s cunning ally, the striped wasp, flew up and stung the guy. He didn’t even blink an eye. A huge red pimple with a sting grew on his shoulder. Imagine, he couldn’t even lift a watermelon over his head! And when the evil Giant didn’t give him one more «skibble» of watermelon, he began to cry. He just felt hurt, but this is not an indicator of strength.
