“What have you been doing, King Peppel?”
“All the same as you do—I tank God.”
“For what?”
“Every good ting God sends me.”
“Have you seen God?”
“Chi! No; suppose man see God he must die one minute” (He would die in a moment).
“When you die won’t you see God?”
With great warmth, “I know no savvy (I don’t know). How should I know? Never mind, I no want to hear more for that palaver” (I want no more talk on that subject).
“What way?” (Why?)
“It no be your business; you come here for trade palaver.”
