Another great prompt by https://rochellewisofffields.wordpress.com/2015/11/25/27-november-2015/
“Hey! Peregrinus!!” Yelled William Bradford.
“Stop calling me that, just call me Edward, Edward Winslow.”
“It´s just funnier when I call you pereginus, I like to see
the irritation in your face.”
“Really William? We just arrived at our destination, a holy place
in May and you are coming at me with these idiotic things?”
This time William was the one who looked annoyed but he contained
himself from insulting again which happened throughout their arduous journey
on the ship. “Why do we have flowers anyways?” He asked.
“In case we meet someone here.”
“Really bright Edward, I see a whole bunch of people here.”
“Damn, well just call the ship the Mayflower and forget about it,
I´m hungry by the way go get something to eat.”
William returned half an hour later with a big bird.
“What in the world is that?”
“Don´t know, that dude high on the ridge with bow and arrow said turkey
what language was that man?,they told me to got eat with them.”
Edward looked confused, he didn´t like the idea of eating with a strange
guy with bows and arrows. “We´ll see what we do with the bow and arrow dude.”
I probably went just a bit over the 100 words
Dear Charlie,
Interesting take on the Pilgrims.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you for stopping by Rochelle, interesting take is good.
They sounds more normal this way… I guess that’s closer to reality
People think Pilgrims talked in some kind of old middle English,nope, the “dude” word started by them. It´s the unknown history……
Appreciate you stopping by
The idea of one pilgrim father calling another “dude” is novel.
These two where quite the modern ones
And the USA has been butchering our language ever since. 😉
smiling with a creepy yellow face 🙂
Topical take, slightly updated. 🙂
ha, and you do know they did invent the word “dude”, the unknown history I had to shine a light on.
Appreciate you stopping by
Nice comedy. I like the way you took advantage of the fact that peregrine, besides being an obscure bird, is also an obscure synonym/ romance language word for pilgrim
Glad you liked it and thank´s for stopping by.
I lost it a little at the use of “dude”. 😉 Nice take.
Hey, people think they talked in old middle English, nope, they were quite modern.
Appreciate you taking the time to read that crazy thing.
Ha, well done!
I would make a great teacher, making learning fun
Oh you would!
On topic for this particular FF!
Thank you, appreciate you taking the time to read it.
