Who in Gods name didn't go to sleep at night after looking at that one brothers face as he held the entire ocean in his mouth. He told some little brat that he could go pick up a "few" fish and run back to shore. Of course, as all books do, there was a lesson to be learned. This kid, probably a spoiled American tourist dressed up like a Chinaman, got greedy and tried to pick up more than his limit of ground mullet. I remember that Chinaman was seweating as his cheeks were swole up like Louise Armstrong. Then he drowned that little brat in a slush of seawater and spit! Damn I wish I still had that book.

I actually think my parents still have it. Will have to search for it when I go home next.
I have never heard of this book! I am at the library now & my friend is the childrens librarian, I shall go check out what I'm missing. Well, I'm not actually going to check it out. maybe I'll just look at it a while & thumb throught the pages & then I'll toss it where it does not belong.
