Today my family sacrificed a sheep, so that my brother will do well when he goes back to school next week (he is studying to be an electrician).
I don't really understand why it counts as a sacrifice when the family still gets to eat the animal – it isn't burned like sacrifices in the Bible, or given away to the poor, which would also make sense to me – but they still call it a sacrifice.
Now little kids are running around waving pieces of intestines like streamers, and they are roasting the sheep's head on the fire.
