Goldfinch & Slingshot

Making your own slingshot to capture a goldfinch alive was one option to demonstrate your manliness as a young child. Obtaining the appropriate handle (chaouch) meant risking a cut from the sharp grove fence or a good beating from a grove guard, depending on your luck. I got cut and flogged, but I was never successful in catching a goldfinch.
