3. Read the text about earpull game.

Ear pull is a traditional Inuit game that is entirely about pain endurance. Competitors face each
other with their legs connected. A string about two feet long is then looped around the ears (left
to right or right to left) of both contestants. Then the contestants do what the name of the game
implies: they pull. They pull until one contestant gives in to the pain and the string becomes
separated from their ear. Ear pull can cause damage to the ear, and bleeding is common. Ear
pull would fall into the category of a game that some would not like to try, but your mileage may
vary!

Ear pull is a traditional Inuit game that focuses on pain endurance. In this game, participants

endure the pain as they pull the string, continuing until one contestant gives in, causing the
string to separate from their ear. The pulling action can lead to damage to the ear, and it is not
uncommon for participants to experience bleeding as a result of the intense pulling.
