“LKFS FALSE TEETH
AND THE WATERMELONS”
On a midsummer afternoon in mid
dle Georgia, ’Lige Brown went about
the ritual of saddling an ancient
looking grey mule. That he was go
ing somewhere appeared quite evi
dent, for his ebony colored face bore
marks of recent scrubbing, while his
lanky, bow-legged form was clad in
very clean blue overalls, and a red
and white checked shirt. Beads of
perspiration stood out on his fore
head, and his large eyes frequetly
rolled skyward. “Don’ see er thun
der-head no whar’ but hit sho’ am
hot ’nuf ter rain. You hoi’ up thar’
mule, so’s I kin git yo’ saddle on.
I’se got ter git ter town fo’ dat ere
tooth dentis’ closes up his awfice,
’case I’se er gwine ter git sum gol’
teef put in ma haid. Dat high
falutin’ Smith nigger whut knocked
mine out ought ter be shamed uv
hisself, but I don’t know's I keer,
’case gol’ uns does shine mightily.
Giddup dar, Mule.”
With which command he sprang
upon the mule, and went galloping
down the road, leaving a cloud of
dust behind him. Coming into town,
he went to a livery stable and hitch
ed his mule. Then he laboriously
wiped his face and thick red lips
with a bandana handkerchief. He
approached an office building,
climbed the stairs, and presented
himself to Dr. Swint, the “tooth
dentist,” as ’Lige called him.
“Can you fix me one uv dem ar’
plates wif gol’ teef in it?” he asked
the dentist.
“Why, yes, just step in here,
’Lige,” was the response.
’Lige “stepped in,” took his seat
in the dentist’s chair, and submitted
to the plate being made and fitted.
“Does you say jes leave it in dar
all de time?” he inquired, when it
was fitted. The dentist told him
that he should. After further in
structing him how to care for the
plate, Dr. Swint told ’Lige the
amount of the bill. He produced an
old woolen sock from which he
counted out the money for payment.
Passing out through the reception of
fice he paused in front of a minor,
grinned broadly, and said to him
self, “Wal, now, I reckon ain’ none
uv dem city niggers gonna beat dat.”
He then went to the negro lunch
room, where he consumed several
ice-cream cones, numerous glasses of
cider, and other refreshments, talk
ing meanwhile to those around him,
endeavoring to show his new teeth to
best advantage.
After dax-k ’Lige set out home.
He was content with the world in
general and his gold teeth in par
ticular. He ambled peacefully along
in the moonlight, feeling that his
new teeth had made a great impres
sion on hi slunch room comrades.
Suddenly he stopped his mule, and a
sound between a sigh and an ex
clamation escaped him. Before him
lay the road, while to his right was
a large watermelon patch. The moon
shone brightly down on the large
green oblongs half hidden by the
vines. Certainly it was a tempting
sight, and no wonder ’Lige halted.
Slowly, stealthily, he climbed
down, hitched his mule to a tree by
the roadside, and looked all about
him. Not a sound was heard except
the chirping of crickets. The farm
house in the distance was dark and
still. No other travellers were apt
to come this road tonight. All in
all, ’Lige found every condition to
his liking. He went into the patch,
stooping to thump the melons, one
by one, to see if they were ripe.
Several thumped “plink, plink” and
these he passed over, for they were
green. Finally one sounded “plunk,
pjunk," and a broad, gleaming grin
spread over ’Lige’s countenance, for
he knew this one was good and ripe.
He pulled the stem from the vine
and carried his prize back to the
roadside. Seeking the shadows of
the tree, he sat down to enjoy his
stolen fruit. He took a large knife
from his pocket, opened it, cut the
melon from end to end, and spread
the two luscious halves before him.
Digging his fingers into the heart of
it he gouged out chunks that filled
his large mouth.
Smack, smack, went his lips, as the
juice dripped from them, and his
eyes rolled in ecstasy for a few mo
ments. Then suddenly there was a
gurgle, a gasp, and a groan. 'Lige
had swallowed his false teeth and |
was choking on them! He tried to
get them up but they seemed stuck
in his throat. Now his eyes bulged
with horror. What could he do? If
he went for help to the farm-house
Mr. Lindsey would know he had
stolen the melon. If he was found
out he would surely be turned out of
the African church, and he was a
deacon! But he would die if he did
not Ret help, and he did not relish
the idea of dying on this lonely road
side. He chose to expose his deed.
Gasping and groaning, he made his
way to the farm-house and knocked
on the door. A light soon appeared
and Farmer Lindsey demanded in
sleepy tones, “Who is there, and what
do you want?”
“Ur —gurgle, Mijster Lindsey, hit’s
me, ’Lige Brown. Ur—gurgle, I’se
been er mighty bad nigger temight,
but—ug—gug—I’se done been pun
ished. Please sur —ur —gurgle—let
me in.”
Mr. Lindsey opened the door and
beheld a very frightened negro, so
pale that he looked ashen.
“What is the trouble, ’Lige?”
“Ug—gug, I stole' er watermillion
out’n yo’ patch, an’—ug—ugh—mer
gol’ false teef whut I jes’ bought dis
evenin’ done got stuck down in mer
throat. Ur—gurgle, I’se sorry I
done hit, but I’se chokin’ ter deaf.
Kin you please sur phone atter de
doctor?”
Being a good old fanner, Mr. Lind
sey got the doctor there in a short
time, and after considerable efforts,
they retrieved the swallowed plate,
it being “none the worse for wear.”
‘Lige told them about his accident in
detail, and begged them “not ter say
nuthin’ ’bout hit, ’ease I’se er deacon
in de chu’ch an’ dem ar’ niggei-s
whut’s citified would be gladder’n
glad ter turn me out’n de fold.” The
doctor and Mr. Lindsey told him
they would be quiet about it, and the
old negro rode off, saying, “De Lawd
sho is right w’en He sez, ‘Be sho yo’
sins will fine you out,’ an’ I’se gwine
ter beer better nigger, an’ not go
stealin’ no nxo’ watermillions, ’case
I’se done been punished by de Lawd,
an’ punished sho’ nuff, l’se hyar ter
tell yer. Ah’ dem dere teef ain’ so
graq’ an glo’ious ez dey’s cracked up
ter be, dat dey ain’.’'
