Rat Hunting instructions:First you need to sniff the dirt in each rat hole to know where they are most likely hiding and to avoid disappointments. The holes that smell like rat urine are your best bet (see above).
Then you use a hoe to hack through the ground where the smelliest hole leads.
When you think you are getting close, stuff the hole with dry grass and light it on fire and blow the smoke into the hole. This will kill off the straggler rats in outer tunnel leading to the next and help you cut through the rest of the dirt (smoke will keep coming out).
Once you hit the main nest and start pulling the rats out by their tails, you then stun them by smacking them to the ground and when they try to scramble away you and your friends need to grab them and break their necks.
Stay organized. Keep the bodies in a pile and only count them at the end. To do otherwise is bad luck.
Then you boil the rats in a pot and then stack the rats on skewers to dry over a hot fire. These dried/roasted rats can be stored on the skewer for several days. When you feel a craving for rat just throw a few in an earthen pot with some salt and water, bring to a boil and then eat with your chima made of cassava...hair, feet, tripe and all...
lol, I dare you to actually teach that in class. I mean, you have all the materials :) Wouldn't that be an awesome discussion session?!
