Sri Lankan toddy Tappers He places his foot on the rope, it sags under his weight but holds; the knot is strong. His bare feet inch their way forward, his hands reach up and hold onto the rope above. On these two fragile supports his life now depends. Below, far below are the jagged rocks. There are no safety nets. No nets to catch him. No one below notices him. He is only a small figure far above; only the ordinary Sri Lankan toddy tapper doing his every day job.
