Apparently, the children were coming in contact with a black kid for the first time and they kept on checking if he was real.

One of the children, a girl, held his hands and smiled deeply while also trying to confirm if his colour can wash off.

At a point, another kid thought he rubbed chocolate on his skin and he immediately licked his fingers after touching the black boy.
