Description

Collected by Mary Celestia Parler; Transcribed by Neil Byer Adgie Lee Robinson Newport Ark. April 13, 1955 Reel 210, Item 3 The Blind Man And His Sons ALR: ...He had two sons, and he were blind. So he said, "Sons, you boys come here." And, of course, the boys went to him. He says, "Now, I want you all to go down to the pool and get in and bathe all over." So one boy, he went on down and done like his father said. He got in the pool, and he washed all over. He came up pretty and white. So the other boy, he says, "Aw, he can't see." He went down and put his hands in the water and the bottom of his feet. So that's all that got clean, just the palms of his hands and the bottom of his feet. And so that was the end of that one, see, one was good and the other one wasn't. Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation.
