Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Where the Trade-Wind Blows: West Indian Tales Candace was coming up the hill with the washing. Under Candace, beneath the aparejo upon which she sat, was the back of Winfield Robinson´s big black bull. On Candace´s head was a basket which contained some of the clean clothes. On one side of the bull hung a small hair trunk in which were corded the Senor´s shirts; on the other side was a saddle-bag with bumping sides. Little Malcolm sat in front of his mother, much as he would sit upon the earthen floor of her cabin. He sat sidewise, his bare toes not overlapping the edge of the saddle, it was so broad. Generally Candace rode the bull without a leader, but as her load was unusually heavy, she had brought her eldest son, Sambo, to act as bull-driver. A bull-driver may lead the bull or may drive him from his seat upon the aparejo. Sambo walked about five feet ahead of the bull, leading him by a rope; the rope was fastened to a ring in the bull´s nose.
