PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: I was setting down eat
ing my fish and drinking my beer
when / was aroused from the mel
lowness that / had attained by
some fellows in an argument about
who's the easiest to fool, and !
listened to the various pros and
cons of what was going on know
ing Aine Haggar's Chillun to want
git-by, which is one way of fool
ing folks, to see what | could hear
that would continue to confirm my
notion that 'mongst Aine Haggar's
Chillun as they gather around their
favorite spots of Satdee, freed from
the daily chores, there are depths
of thinking and gems of wisdom
fit for the learned doctors of phi
losophy, with the differences being
that Aine Haggar's Chillun gener-
ally give 'em the practical appli-
cation rather than the theory treat
ment. Well, the talking kept-on
as | kept on looking and listening,
till some fellow comes up with an
illustration that was far from the
point at issue but what sounded
lack something good to tell about
Up and Down Parish Street, which
illustration went lack this
There was two monkeys up in the
trees just jumping from limb to
limb and having the grandest time,
while there was a man over on the
mountain side with a gun besides
him laying in the shade sleep while
the monkeys played and played
and ate all the coconuts and every
thing while they watch the sleep
ing man never getting near enough
to 'em to wake him up, when along
come one of Aine Haggar's Chillun
who looked up on the mountain
side and saw the man asleep, but
just couldn't go on about his bust
ness and try to get everything he
could for himself while the man
with the gun was asleep, but went
up on the mountain side and saw
that the man was still asleep and
took out some matches that he had
in his pocket, stuck some around
the soles of the mans shoes and
hot-foooted him, and started run
ming and laffing, when the man
woke-up and started searching
through the woods and watching
everything with his gun cooked on
his arm. One of the monkeys who
saw the member of the tribe hot
footing the man with the gun re-
marked some people, some people.
but the other monkey said, Nav:
Brother, you means them peoples
and me, l amt stop thinking
about the story, knowing what
Aine Haggar's Chilluns are up
agin now, since / heard it E.
