Sandy Negroes
“Have you ever wondered what sand tastes like?” she asked her younger cousin.
The sun burnt boy looked at her and replied, “No. What if it’s dirty?”
The gawky ten-year old stood up and pompously stated, “I don’t think so. In religion class, we learned that people use it to cleanse themselves before prayer.”
He looked up at the seemingly knowledgeable girl, squinting his eyes against the lazily lingering afternoon sun.
The two silently left the moist, beachside area and scampered toward the scorching, dry sand that sent little children bouncing in frightful delight to the cool water.
They were sprawled on the ground, their bellies absorbing the spicy soil. She scooped the warm earth in her palms before giving the sand a quick lick.
“What does it taste like?” he asked wondrously.
She was fixated on the loud crunch of the tiny grains’ echo, “Try it.”
He quietly followed the procedure. The young girl grinned freely when he answered himself, “It tastes like salt.”
