Then he turned to Tommy and started to ask questions.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| Why do the maroons live in the mountains? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Because in times of war , we're like trees of the forest. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| In times of war, our warriors cloothe themselves with the branches of the trees. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
The people clapped with joy at Tommy's smartness.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| And why do they clothe themselves with the branches of the trees? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| So that the English cannot see them. And since we are small in numbers we outwit the English by being smart. | |
