I climb with the fence and go to the mango tree
I cut a mango
It's easy to climb for me
When you climb you see many places
The beach
The city
And the arch
Even when you are here, you will see the lights of Banjul
You can see them !! Of course, YES

And then I'm dumb
I'm coming down
When I'm coming down
I just come easy easy, easy easy
I'm just coming, you know there is a . . . .
When it is dry . . .
When you step on it, it is damaged
Then I just step on it
I don't know if it 's dry or not
But I step on it
And then I just come down
And then I flat
I fell down
Small I die

When I flat, my two young bothers come
They are calling me, that time I don't hear anything
I land down there up to one and a half hours
And then my one young brother come.
He called Yanks
And then he pour water over my head
And then I get up
I go and sleep inside the house & I sleep there
They cook lunch
Until the lunch is finished
I'm sleeping
I don't even eat lunch, that's it . . . . .
That's why to fall in the mango tree is very bad
If you climb in the mango tree, if you don't take your time

Maybe small you can die . . . . .

Told by Red to May when he found her up the mango tree.
'Small I die' means you have nearly died.
Red's stories often have a moral or practical lesson at the end of then
