In this lesson, students learn about parallel threads in a program.
The program is relatively simple. The idea is to emulate what an animal would do if it's overburdened - well, it stops. The program looks something like this:

Lesson 4 - Beast of burden
Introduction
What is a beast of burden? Which of those can you think of?
This lesson draws attention to the creatures that made all those mega-structures in the ancient and medieval world: the beasts of burden. Depending on where they lived, these could be horses, mules, donkeys, camels, goats, or oxen. People used them regularly in their work to carry heavy loads, such as plows, wood, or stone.
These animals were also instrumental in building the structures we discuss at this level, transporting wood for boats and stone for labyrinths and pyramids. Nowadays, we don't need to use animals for these tasks because we have heavy machinery and robots!
