My new friend Omar encouraged me to climb a tree across from our Hotel to get a coconut.
We didn't know that though it looked like the tree was above the road, it was growing on private property. The next thing I knew, the Polizia were there! I thought they were going to throw me in jail!  
What happened? I was really scared.
I did not want to be separated from my friends and taken to jail in the DR.
What is a stuffed cat to do? What would you do?
Finally I was set free with a little bribe of monopoly money (of all things!).

    He showed me the Prodigal Son story and I could kind of relate. When he apologized, he also promised to go after his own coconuts from now on!  |
