CHAPTER 1: EASTER VACATION
School is on early Easter vacation.
The Campbellville Heroes as we fondly call ourselves were racing home on our bikes. My bike “Yellow Bird” was an old model ladies bike fondly called a “preggie” with a make- shift wooden bar. On this wooden bar I towed my good friend Choe Chan.
Riding home, we came to a screeching halt by the shaveice man for a snow cone with colorful sweet syrup. This would cool us down from the hot sticky sun. We hoped to meet Ramdas and Suzie at the D. Y. C. playground.
Finally we got to the playground but the Subryanville Iguanas had got there before us and had all intentions of “hawking” the field.
With nothing else to do but wait, we settled under the huge guinep tree with its large branches and cool tropical breeze blowing. Ramdas however saved the day.Would you believe that he had a flour bag full of mangoes? We ate as much as we could. Now it was barging time. We dealt the rest to the Iguanas to get them off the cricket pitch.
Once upon an Easter.
