Wu’s Ways
His name is Mr. Wu, or Philippe. He looks kind of Chinese to me.
I hope he’s not smoking. No, it’s a lollipop in his mouth. There’s no smoke coming out of it. He’s wearing a watch on his left arm. You usually wear a watch on your left arm.
There’s a chair or steps in the background. Or maybe it’s a chest of drawers – the drawer pulls are shining.
See the tag on his shirt? Does he run a projector in a movie house or a school? Students at our school learned to run the projector at our school. He’ll teach students how to run the projector.
Are they cannonballs or coconuts that he is holding? They’re cannonballs! They look like they are coconuts, if there are coconuts that dark. I’ve never seen coconuts that are that dark. They look pretty heavy.
He lives there where the coconuts are grown. He picked up as many as he could from the ground. Those coconuts must have rolled around in the mud quite a while.
Maybe he’s getting ready to sell them. He looks like a salesman. He’s all cleaned up – clean shirt, clean scarf on his head. He’s going to sell them at the local market. How much is he going to get for them? More than I’d spend on them! 35 cents apiece because they’re so black. He’s going to buy some more coconuts or something else that he needs with the money.
He looks too young to be married. He doesn’t have a wedding ring. He will get married before too long, but he’s not planning it immediately. He’s clean cut. He’ll find a nice girl.
Well, he already has a girlfriend. Her name is Ronda Ellen.
