The Maldivian children's art of making a sand ball

Well, you see it's like this.  First you put some wet sand into an old coconut shell.  You know... half a shell.  Then..



You get your hand around the top of the sand ball.... and gently pull upward....



You pat it together with both of your hands, and now you're ready to ...... well, throw it at someone!

Look out Mr. T..... you're well within my throwing range....
