Fiction Passage 10 15 20 25 30 The drive west out of Port of Spain soon runs parallel to the sea and leads to the fishing village of Carenage and the fish vendors doing a brisk trade in fresh catch at the side of the road. On your left, a small cluster of islands appears. They are referred to locally as “down the islands”, They lie between Trinidad and Venezuela’s Paria Peninsula. My grandfather and his boatman, Ashton, built a larger cottage for himself and my grandmother and a smaller one on the edge of the water for my mother and father, on land on Gasparee Island that was leased. The houses were built of wooden planks with simple wire windows, painted in green and white. My grandparents were originally from San Fernando in southern Trinidad but had recently moved to Port of Spain. Some weekends, I went down alone with my grandparents while my parents stayed in town. I had pride of place as the first grandchild, and even though I was very young, I have vivid memories of this time of my life. We travelled with the dogs, the Siamese cat, my baby sister, sheets, clothes, towels, food, and ice. It provided all the ensuing excitement that an entourage such as that generates on a small powerboat, I remember the English woman who lived on the side of the bay and cooked eels for her dogs. Our own Labrador we had to contain in my grandparents’ bedroom when the priests ‘went to swim, because the valiant creature would plunge into the water behind them and tow them vigorously back to shore, holding firmly an elbow in his mouth, convinced he was saving them from the awful fate of drowning. We would have to contain Buster for the duration of their swim. I learnt to avoid the poisonous foot long Bocas centipede and spy upon the various birds that inhabit the island. I was only five when my grandfather died, and my grandmother gave up the lease and the houses soon after. Ashton and my mother were the only ones who could drive my grandfather's boat, and it became too hard and too painful to revisit. Thankfully, this did not stop us from visiting others’ homes there and going “down the islands” has remained a constant in my life up to today. I visited for a weekend last March, and the boatman who helped us tie up the boat told us the dolphins had been in the bay just days before, frolicking between the mooring and the jetty. It is their season in March. “Plenty red sardine in the water now,” he also said, “you bound to see them.” All around us in Turtle Bay the water was deep and green, the chill blowing off the water. The foreigners ask if we know we have paradise here. “Yes!” we answer, “We know we do.” Retrieved & adapted from: ‘ttps://www.caribbean-beat, 33/amo ———————_—————————————— EduscapeCaribbean.

Poetry ‘The Spider and the Fly Will you walk into my parlour?” said the Spider to the Fly, “Tis the prettiest little parlour that ever you did spy; ‘And 've a many curious things to show when you are there.” “Oh no, no,” said the little Fly, “to ask me is in vain, For who goes up your winding stair can ne’er come down again.” Said the cunning Spider to the Fly, “Dear friend what can I do, To prove the warm affection I’ve always felt for you? Thave within my pantry, good store of all that's nice”; “Oh no, no,” said the little Fly, “kind that cannot be, “['ve heard what’s in your pantry, and I do not wish to see!” “weet creature!” said the Spider, “you're witty and you're wise, How handsome are your gauzy wings, how brilliant are your eyes!” ‘The Spider went in; he knew the Fly would soon come back again. So he wove a subtle web, in a little comer sly, And set his table ready, to dine upon the Fly. Then he came to his door to answer the doorbell ring, “Come hither, hither, pretty Fly, with the pearl and silver wing” Alas, alas! How very soon this silly little Fly, Hearing his wily, flattering words, came slowly flitting by; ‘Then up jumped the cunning Spider, and fiercely held her fast. He dragged her up his winding stair, into his dismal den, Within his little parlour- but she ne’er came out again! ‘And so to all children who may this story you now hear Team a lesson from this tale and pray be very aware.
