Lorenzo's eyes flashed with excitement, and he quickly wrapped the piece of thin hemp rope around the top and mimicked the throwing motion he had carefully studied. The top sat heavy in his hands and quickly whizzed through the air. A hush came over the crowd as the top landed. Then the crowd began to repeat a new word, one Lorenzo didn’t recognize.
