Going to the Bushes to Cut Firewood

I've told you that I had to carry sugar cane from the fields to a cane heap by the roadside. I also had to go to the bushes and cut firewood. We usually roamed over more than twenty acres of land looking firewood. We usually cut  of the dried limbs of treed. We also used an axe to split dried tree trunks. We would use the bark of dried banana trees to lash the firewood together in order to carry it on our heads from the bushes. Some of those times could be enjoyable depending on which fruit crops were in season. Mangoes were the most enjoyable. We would climb the trees and spend hours eating mangoes.
