Pete and I had been sitting in the office with little to do. We decided to improve our Mandinka so, using the Peace Corps handbook, we began.
I quote…………
“two little dickie birds – Tom, Dick and Harry”
“The two little birds.
Two little birds flew over,
My hand is at the anus of the one,
The other’s anus is at my hand”
“one, two
buckle my shoe.
three, four
knock at the door.
five six
pick up sticks.
seven eight
lay them straight.
nine ten
a big fat cock.”
“My uncle went in.
My uncle went in through an opening,
He grip the testicles of a male goat.
The goat went in.
The goat went in through an opening,
My uncle grip its testicles.”
I laughed till I cried and my Mandinka shows no improvement.
