The design was to supply the Dutch West Indian Company's ships with grain and vegetables, especially bananas, which grow admirably; I heard that there are fifteen varieties upon this dot of dry land. Thus the crews would not waste time and money at Cape Lopez and the Portuguese islands.
Why I ain't got but a few teef left, an' a cocoanut droppin' offen a tree would shorely knock dem teef out, shorely!" "Oh, Rad, I didn't mean cocoanuts!

"No, papa," she said, "we had our breakfast just a little while before Aunt Beulah brought us here." "Well, if ever you suffer from hunger again it shall not be your father's fault," he returned with emotion. Taking out his watch, "We have a full half hour yet," he said. "Max, my son, do you know of any place near at hand where oranges, bananas, cakes, and candies are to be had?"
It was a bungalow of unpainted wood, consisting of two small rooms, and outside was a small shed that served as a kitchen.

As soon as Mappo's papa, who had gone a long distance from the tree-house to look for some bananas for his family as soon as he heard the shouting about the tiger, he said to himself: "Well, I must get home as quickly as I can, to look after my family.
