PHOTO
OF THE WEEK

Slow Suspense
The boys, photographed
in Pampanga province some one and a half hours north of Manila, watch in
excitement as from the middle of the stick, a spider hangs and scrambles
up. In a few minutes it will be fighting it out with the other spider at
the end of the stick. The spider that drops from the stick loses.
Spider-fighting is a favorite game among many rural children in the
Philippines. Slow as the game is since spiders naturally move slowly, it
is by watching spider fights that children in the Philippines usually get
their first taste of suspense from competitive games.
