    I actually do not think that that would happen to me, because were in America, and I don't really think that it would happen. Sometimes I think that I want to visit Africa, and it's going to be really fun, but when you think about it, Africa is pretty dangerous, and I would be scared to go to Africa, and I don't really know anybody that lives in Africa.
