A squirrel enjoying a meal of bread crumbs, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

The story told to children as to how the squirrel got its three stripes.
In ancient times, so the story goes, when King Rama was building a bridge to cross over to Sri Lanka, to rescue his wife Sitha, everyone helped. Rama saw a squirrel carrying loads of small stones to help build the bridge. King Rama took the squirrel in his left palm and stroked its back tenderly, using the three fingers of his right hand. This remained as a permanent mark for the subsequent generations of the sqirrel.

A few examples - Photo taken at Ms. Durumila Kumara's house, Horton Place, Colombo, Sri Lanka. It takes years of caring and pruning to achieve these miniature beauties.

The 'Daehaeth Vattiya' - Betel tray, Sri Lanka.

I came across this poster in a 'Pansala'.
It is traditional to welcome a distinguished guest arriving at a home of a Sinhalese, with a wicker or brass tray containing betel leaves, arecanut, dried tobacco leaves and lime. This tray was called 'Daehaeth Vattiya'. This was the equivalent of offering a cup of tea to a guest.
Arecanut, tobacco and lime are implicated in cancer of the oral cavity.
The above poster is a media campaign to eliminate these items from the tray and replace them with other spices.
