So give me the ten gourdes.” “First we have to measure him,” Ti Malice said. He took a measuring tape from his pocket and stretched it over the horse’s back. “Let’s see, now,” he said to Bouki. “You need about eighteen inches, and you can sit in the middle.

Bouki needs about twenty inches, and she can sit in the front.” “Wait!” Toussaint said. “You can’t put four people on that horse!” “Then,” Ti Malice said, “Tijean Bouki can go here on the horse’s neck. Boukino can sit in his lap, and we can tie Boukinette right here if we’re careful.” “Listen!” Toussaint said, starting to shout. “You must be crazy. A horse can’t carry so many people!” “He can try,” Ti Malice said. “You’ll kill him!” Toussaint said. “We can put my children here,” Ti Malice said, measuring behind the horse’s ears.

Bouki Rents a Horse
PART 01
It was time to dig up the yams and take them to market. Bouki went out with his big hoe and dug up a big pile of yams and left them in the sun to dry.
While they were drying, he began to think about how he would get them to the City.
“I think I will borrow Moussa’s donkey,” he said at last. “As long as I have the donkey, I might as well dig up some more yams.”
So he dug up some more yams, and then he went to Moussa’s house for the donkey.
But Moussa said, “Bouki, my donkey ran away yesterday, and we haven’t found him yet. Why don’t you rent a horse from Mr. Toussaint?”
“ToussainT!” Bouki said. “He’ll charge more than I can get for the yams! He’ll charge me for talking to him!”

“Will you take the five now?” Toussaint said. “You can give me ten more tomorrow when you come for the horse.”
