Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, 1911 "Reckon I´ll be eatin´ cracklin´ bread long erbout leben ternight," continued Pete, gazing thoughtfully ahead. John Henry sat up immediately. He even forgot to prod Jericho. If there is one thing in the world that a little sandhill darky would swap a watermelon for, that thing is a hunk of crackling bread. "Lak ter know whar you gwine git it." John Henry´s reply was quick, almost disdainful. It was June and John Henry knew that last winter´s cracklings were getting scarce. "Ise gwine git it whar Ise gwine git it," returned Pete grandly. "Niggah, does you wanter eat crackling bread wid me ternight?" John Henry did. "You bettah not be axin´ me sassy questions den," said Pete haughtily, "kase Ise bossin dis bizness. Ise gwine ter eat cracklin bread ternight, but I ain´t cided bout you yit." "Lemme in, Pete," begged John Henry. "You ken be boss ef you wanter." "Will you call me cap´n?" John Henry servilely agreed. "Fo´ dat Silviny wat washes dishes an´ puts on airs upter de big house?" "Y-e-s." John Henry hadn´t counted on Silviny. "Now," announced Pete solemnly, "you gotter sware ar offul oath, jes´ lak injuns, an´ robbers, an´ burglarses, an´, an´ jining de church." They stopped Jericho and Pete motioned for the astonished John Henry to get out. In the heavy June twilight, the two faced each other solemnly. "Git down on yo´ knees," Pete commanded. John Henry got down. There was a silence. Pete wasn´t quite sure what came next. The ants were stinging the novitiates bare legs and he wriggled uncomfortably. "Cross yo´ hands," Pete finally said. John Henry promptly folded his black little paws across his round little stomach and awaited further orders.
