Hunting for Manicou
As he was trying to hold the Manicou, we quickly
came up with a plan to take the fine bag of
Manicous he placed on the ground.
My friend Aaron grabbed the fine bag filled with
Manicou while the rest of us filled our bag with
stones and exchanged the bags. We ran as
quickly as we could and hid in the tall bushes up
the mountain.
We giggled.
Hensley said “All you hush nuh man”. Aaron,
Giovonni, Jeron and I covered our mouths.
I peeped out of the bushes and saw the man
running up the steep mountain at full speed with
his cutlass in one hand, and his bag in the other.
He was fuming with anger as a raging bull; his
eyes were red and fierce. He looked as if he was
out for blood.
