Explore "My Tahiti" by Robert Dean Frisbie on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Every year the Reverent Pierre made the round of his parishes in Tahiti and the neighboring island of Moorea. It must have been a tiresome task, for it required several months, as there were dozens of villages on each island and each village must be visited. It was very profitable.
For many days the natives of Vaiiti prepared for his reception. Not only did they save their money, but also such delicacies as a particularly fat pig, a fish trapful of sea crabs, a patch of taro that had matured without being molested by leaf hoppers, bunches of sweet red-husked coconuts that were of just the right age for drinking.
