The Mother River by Austin Mitchell (Excerpt)

The Mother River by Austin Mitchell              Once, hundreds of years ago, there was a great river. It was called the Mother river. Some said that it was in the north of the island, others said that it was in the middle of the island, but others disagreed, saying that it was in the west. Although it was known as the Mother river, people called it the magic river, the golden river and many other names. One of the main villages the river passed through was reportedly called called   Dunklet. The people of Dunklet worshipped the river.   They depended for their very lives on this river.

Going to Fetch Water

We first had piped water in our village when a pipe was put at Ashley Gate. Before that we had to go to the springs or rivers to fetch water. Women had to go to a place called Flat Rock to wash clothes. No sooner had the pipe been put in than fights over water began. Some families consisted of eight or nine persons at the time.

The Big Steal a short story by Austin Mitchell           Mr. Burton couldn’t believe his eyes. Two hours ago he had left the two goats tied to the guava tree to go and attend to his cows, now all that was tied to the tree was the rope. He wondered if by chance the rope had gotten loose and the goats had wandered off. He began to worry as they were quite a few small farmers like himself around. They planted a variety of crops and he knew the damage the goats could cause. He called over to his nearest neighbor, Garnet Green, but only Velma, his wife, was there. Mr. Burton went to the line and called to her.             “What’s happening, Mr. Burton? Garnet had to go up to Browns Town this morning,” Velma said. “He told me that you were going down to Falmouth this morning.”             “I had planned to do that, but righ...
