TRY YOUR LUCK 2

Clinking …. Clinking ……clinking …. my friends and I waited anxiously .
I won … I won …. I won . We jumped up and down without looking at what we are winning. The ice-cream seller gave us the thing that we won . We were shocked .
It was a packet of cigarettes … “Rough Rider” …. 10 sticks inside.


“My friends , what are we supposed to do with this cigarettes. There’s a lot in it”

We looked at each other.

“I can’t take it home , my father will kill me “ says friend no 1

“OK let’s think about it.” says friend no 2

“ Why don’t we smoke it” says friend no 3

Everybody agreed. But where?

“Why not in the toilet” says friend no 1

Hmm …. again everybody agreed.

We borrowed a box of matches form the canteen operator . We went to the toilet. We smoked. There was four of us in one cubicle of the toilet.
Puff … puff …. puff ….. cough … cough ………..cough

CIKGUTANYA: What was I thinking then?

TRY YOUR LUCK 1

There was this ice-cream seller. He sells ice-cream just outside the school compound, very near the main entrance of the school .

I was in Form One.

The modus-operandi was, if you buy the ice-cream from him, you get the chance to try you luck by putting a marble in a special case/box, specially made, for that purpose.
It was made of wood. Nails is nailed on the board of the case – ½ inches apart. About 200 nails was used.



Your have to put the marble in the hole at the top of the box. It will go down toward the bottom of the box where the photo of the thing that you might win. It will zig-zag down . I bought a 5 cents worth of ice-cream and was given a marble to try my luck. Chuckling,. Chuckling, Chuckling it went down

Cikgutanya: I will continue tomorrow. Oh , what a thrill.
