Hello,
my name is Charles Walker, but everyone
calls me Trout because my feet smell like
a couple of dead fish. It is not my
fault, I have an incurable foot fungus. I
was the son of the richest man in town,
because most of the peach-trees and all
the land on the east-side of the lake
belonged to my family.

We lost it all,
when it stopped raining. All that
happened because of the
onion-picker Sam. He was black and
kissed my big love, the
schoolteacher Katherine Barlow. Black people
weren't allowed to kiss white
people. After we had burnt down
the schoolhouse, we shot him.
Since then not one drop of rain
has fallen on Green Lake.
|
After Sam's death, Katherine shot
the sheriff, ran away, became an
outlaw and robbed all the money
from the banks.
