體育運動
In what other sports can you throw stones at a house and get away with it?
It’s like... bowling on ice, perhaps, with a shuffleboard thrown in . A player crouches at the end of a long sheet of ice. They hold a “stone”—a large, heavy piece of granite with a smooth bottom. They then slide the stone down the ice, yelling commands to two other players holding brooms. Confused yet? Don’t worry. Soon you’ll be an expert in the wintertime sport of curling.
