Ender Hypersonic September 17, 2013 Share September 17, 2013 (edited) This is what happened to city kid when they take a walk in nature..Need clean toilet, level the ground, maybe plant some flowers along the trail.. And the animals, make sure they are tamed and will not bite. They should run on treadmill, the have a TV screen displaying different natural scenery.

I guess anyone who is not used in trekking in nature trail should be extra careful and slow, esp if the ground is wet and slippery after a rain.
