Take a giant step

The world around, big and little people walk on stilts. But children like stilts best, because they make them tall. In Asia, stilts are made of bamboo. They can be used to make music if you stand in a circle and pound stilt against stilt and stilt against ground. On the Celebes Islands in the Pacific Ocean, children stand face to face while each lifts one stilt-leg into space, to see who can stand longest on the other.
