Gilbert and Danny were playing in the sand pile outside. They were being “cookers.” Gilbert asked Danny to bring him a “rock” (otherwise known as a cement block) to use as his stove. Danny was flipping it end over end to get it to the proper place and accidentally flipped it over on Gilbert’s foot.
