a serious tone” Watch what you say bout

completely quiet for the whole day. Mika

told Lori that while Lucy was walking

home she felt something watching her

and then she came upon a bushfire.

Mika said she heard that the

bush and started running her down. Mika

said” Lucy ran all the way home for she

fraid di donkey lick har down is a good

ting she nuh live far”. Lori smiled with all-

knowing eyes as she knew that if one

were to discredit the steel donkey then it

would personally show itself.
