Irene Evan's Summertime
Tail
When Irene was around the age of nine
or ten they used to live at Pilot Station. During the summer, she
would overhear the older women talk about going out to pick berries.
Irene always went with her mom. She also had two younger cousins that
went with them sometimes. There was a boy and a girl,and the little
boy was older than the little girl. Irene's aunt always wanted her to
babysit these children if they were going to pick berries. But Irene
didn't like babysitting. She liked going with them. She said that she
used to think to herself, "When the berries ripen, I'll jump in the
boat and go with them." One day, her aunt told her to stay home with
the little boy because he wasnt feeling well, and her aunt and the
other women she was going with went berry picking. Irene watched them
climb the mountain they were going to pick. Then she quickly dressed
the little boy in warm clothes and put him in her bag. And she tried
to catch up to the women who were in front of her on a path she had
to follow that was surrounded by tall grass. Her little cousin was
talking all this time and he said "Where's my momma?"
"We'll try to catch up to them," Irene said. But the boy
was still telling her that he wanted his mom. She shook him in her bag, but
his
whining started to get louder.
Irene kept on trying to quiet him down, but all of a sudden he
started to cry. And she started to cry with him.
 She
heard the women ahead of them laughing but they still didn't know
that Irene was following them. Irene finally said to her cousin "Look, there's your mom, if you don't be quiet that monster will get
us." And when she started to crawl up the steep part of the mountain
she got a good view of everyone.
Then the boy recognized his mom and
hollered, "Mom!" His mom looked up
and saw them. She yelled back at them,"What are you doing here;
what'd you come for?"
Irene was in luck though because her
aunt didn't get upset about her bringing
her little cousin along. She said that he wasn't actually that
sick. So she stayed with them and
picked berries all day long.
