“Go get me some
(Pacie) Pacie is a gummy sticky fruit that grew on a large tree in Aunt Sybil’s
yard. So we climbed the Pacie tree
chopped down as many bunch of Pacie as we could, as fast as possible, because
“red ants was biting we on all parts”.
Red ants always bite you in parts unmentionable. “Red ants does live in Pacie trees, they love
the Pacie fruit because it so sweet”. Next we had to cut some bamboo to make
the bull of the kite. We then asked our
mother for a few dollars ran down to Main Street to buy some kite paper to pace
on the kite frame. Because the kite was
so big we could not use our crochet # 0 twine, we had to buy a thicker twine
more like a fine rope. Now for the tail we get some old cloths and joined them
up. “But the Kite Man say we got to get some rope so we find a big old rope in
the yard and split it in two to make the tail. The Kite man said “I is a fight
man and we gon battle any bad man kite that challenge we on the Back Dam
tomorrow”. Then we made some cut out of
and wrote out the name of the kite “Baby Gal”. It was the biggest kite my
brother and I had ever seen and the most beautiful. Only one thing disturbed
us, was the name “Baby Gal”. Next the Kite Man said “find some razor blades and
broken old glass and bottles with sharp edges”. With all these items procured
and the kite completed; he declared “I done now. How you all gon pay me?”
