TOO BAD!
PIG ATE BLACKBERRIES
DOG DINED ON LUNCH
Blackberrying is the fasliion at the moment around Whakatane and many good harvests are reported. Parties of ladies in recent weeks have visited most of the best spots in the district and in most eases have been more than satisfied with the. results of their efforts.
One party however who visited the Mill road area -recently, although reporting blackberries plentiful, were somewhat disappointed in the quantity of fruit, which eventually they carried home.
One of the party Avho had been, collecting in a hilly place, emptying the contents into a bucket, was decidedly annoyed after over halfiMling the bucket to return to it with further pickings to find a large pig quietly finishing off the last of the blackberries she had. gathered.
This however was not the end of the misfortunes which the party suffered as when lunch time came
"h> lady knocked off for the midrday meal they found a local dog had dined earlier and little, was left of the sandwiches they had brought with them.
