Sun 4 October

Sunday I slept in late till about 11am. I had some cereal, and then watched TV. for a while. Then I decided to go on a journey of finding a good long stick to pull momonchinos from the tree. I thought I would start at the bamboo forest because the sticks there are long and good for hitting the fruit out of the tree. I put on my boots and started my journey. I crossed the river and then walked a little ways to get to the forest. Once I got there it didn’t take long to pick out my stick. The only problem was that it wasn’t really a stick but a long bamboo pull about 35ft long. So I decided to bring the whole thing home and then deal with it with a machete. I pulled it across the street, through the grass, across the river, and then finally to my house. I was sweating pretty hard by the time I got this huge bamboo pull to the house. I found an old rusty machete on the side of the house and then started hacking away until the pull was just the right size. When I tested it out, it was perfect. The pull was light and strong, and got the job done. After my journey I learned how to play a card game with my family ate dinner (a grommet omelet) and then read and went to bed.
