Here's another excerpt from my new ebook Mr King's Daughter - A modern folktale
What a buzz of excitement filled the
village! People began to gather at Mr. King’s enormous iron gate from early on
the first Monday morning to see the young men who had got invitations to try to
make Simone laugh.
It promised to be the best fun for the
year, just like a reality show on cable. In no time at all, jerk pan, bag
juice, drinks, cigarettes and other aids to entertainment materialized on the
roadway leading to the King's gate.
The young men had to walk from the gate up
the long driveway, so that Mr. King could watch them and get an idea of what
they were like. Each was given half an hour to try to make Simone laugh.The
crowd surveying the suitors got their bellyful of laughter.
“A whe him a go! Look
how him head big and round like Mandora coconut."
“Coo dere! Jonkunnu a
come!”
“Ah like you
hairstyle, man. Dat alone mus mek Simone laugh.”
“Massi mi Massa. Is a
duppy dat?”
The men, with Mr. King’s fortune on their
minds, ignored these and other insulting remarks.
The crowd hissed and booed them when they
returned to the gate looking dejected, because they had not made Simone
laugh.'
