Entry 2301
He would get up in de morning before a sunrise and I went with him - before sunrise and go to a shoemake bush. You know what shoemake bush is? (Yes, it has those berries on it. I know.) [This is merely a yes answer. I was thinking of staghorn sumac (Rhus hirta), which I had known for years; he presum- ably was thinking of smooth sumac (R. qlabra).] Yes, little red berries. Go to a shoemake bush and get a bunch of dem berries and give him nine of dem berries, and let him go down before de judge with nine of dem and talk with him, when de judge asking him questions. And if the fine is great, he'll put a light fine on him.
