Dem send de Minister of Crops fuh lay de wreath. Grandpa Cheddi bussin’ he brains fuh remember if he know dis chap. He looking fuh he old friends, Donald and Sam, but he nah see dem.
Grandpa Cheddi so disappointed dat even if Prakash and de man wah bin part de Red Sea bin turn up he would a hug dem. He remember wah wan English poet bin seh, “Ingratitude is monstrous; and for the multitude to be ungrateful, were to make a monster of the multitude.”
