Make Your Way 5, Schulbuch mit Audio-CD und CD-ROM
Day came in on an old brown bus with two friends. She crept down an empty street bending over to sweep the thin dawn away. With her broom, she drew red streaks in the corners of the dusty sky and finding a rooster still asleep, prodded him into song. A fisherman, not far from the shore, lifted his eyes, saw her coming, and yawned. The bus rolled by, and the two friends caught a glimpse of blue as day swung around a corner to where the sea met a road. The sky blinked, woke up, and might have changed its mind, but day had come. Dionne Brand I wouldn’t touch a hamburger but I crave guacamole, gazpacho and water melon. I wouldn’t go near fried bread, but I would go bananas for a blueberry pancake. A glass of milk tastes very sly, but sweet lassi would go down nicely. There’s things I wouldn’t consider: an English breakfast with ketchup. But I’d stand up and shout please, or go down on my knees for ackee and cornbread, baba ghanoush, ratatouille, couscous, tagliatelle. Don’t give me custard and jelly, give me sweet potato pie, or tiramisu or Turkish delight. There are words that taste better than chocolate words that roll and melt words that can dip and swirl and sigh words that make my mouth water words that I can relish and suck and savour. Go for the tasty, delicious words – sag aloo, gadoh gadoh. Don’t give me a boring old plum. Try me with a dim sum. I’ll eat my words.
