| Publisher Description: An old man recounts the heydays of his warrior life including an episode where he fires an arrow at a, what he thought was a huge Bumble Bee which turned out to be a Japanese Zero fighter. Milo powder can be something a child will go to great lengths to get. Tomatoes can be so enticing that a child can get lost for. When you go to a foreign school, you mention simple commonsense things that can confound your parents, like your parents know a toilet is a toilet but at the American mission school, they don't have toilets but bathrooms and you want to use a bathroom. Now that is a problem when at the local school, there is only pit latrines that are toilets. You leave for your sister as her share of the booty - a stolen bird, is it's round head. What can she get out of that as a morsel to eat. Boys can be mean. You nearly get an arrow in the head for teasing a crack shot old man. This is a collection of six stories of what children especially young boys do in a Papua New Guinea rural village. The children have to make up their own fun filled activities in and around grasslands, river banks or in and around villages. Some of these activities are spontaneous and or are not pre-planned. Plus a bonus of lyrics to one of the local ballads in the Yuhu-yuho Tokano language. |
