The Moros are a curious people and to see a white man get down to the nitty-gritty of having to replace a tire as well as pump it up, was really a sight and certainly well worth watching. The peaceful road we were on shortly became a show that must be watched. Out they came from the surrounding coconut and hemp plantations to squat around (they were always squatting when not working or sleeping) to watch Carr fix the tire. They said nothing, just watched. Carr was getting hotter by the minute. Finally, one of them who knew English and of which he was very proud having learned in the school there and if and when any did speak English they used only pure text book words. He watched and watched, probably taxing his brain trying to say something. Finally he came out with – “Sir, I think I know what the trouble is. The contents of the tube has escaped”. And then there was the time when I was stung by a huge centipede, about eight inches long. I suffered the most excruciating pain, with the thumb which was stung swelling to about four times its normal size. We applied all the things which we had available in quite a large and adequate medicine cabinet, but it just became worse and worse. Finally, when I was exhausted from pain an old Moro woman came in and said to me “Mom, I will fix”. She bathed my thumb from contents from a small green bottle, made from herbs of course, chanting a song or a prayer all the time. Within fifteen minutes the pain was completely gone and the thumb had returned to its normal size. I shall never forget her face for even though it was lined by the ravages of time – it was beautiful. She was dressed in her usual costume but with a turban of bright-colored cloth on her head.
