If you are in the village that this story takes place, you may be in trouble. The people who live there have a chance of dying at the lottery. Some adults may not like this even though it is a tradition that they have had for more than 70 years, because it can be a bit harsh on people. But other adults may think it is fair since it has been a tradition and should always be a tradition. Most children think it is fun to stone someone to death because they don’t understand the risk that they are taking. I think it is not fair because I don’t think to kill a person every year is not fair. So what do you think? Fair or not fair?
