The Boxes

As I traveled across the Earth, I couldn’t help but notice all that the humans wear to cover their skin. At every location, the humans wear different drapings, but there was one part of the body that was covered up in almost every culture. Instead of walking on the ground with their skin, the humans put all different shapes and sizes of material to cover the bottom, flat part of their limbs. Some wore a more box like shape with a snake woven up them to hold it on the limbs, while other had a big stick coming out the back of their box used for balancing on while moving. Maybe this is a form of punishment for a crime they had committed. Other boxes are tall and go all the way up the middle of the limbs, while others just attach to the bottom of the flat part of the limb. The purpose of these boxes is unknown, since the humans have a flat part of their body to move on. Maybe it is for mating purposes and the different styles/colors say what group these humans are a part of. This unique limb cover seems pointless and hurtful to the human body, yet a necessity within the human culture.
