When you work, hard and long,
in the hot sun and you go home,
to come back the next day to find
that someone has picked all of your
waternuts, that are young still,
or mangoes, half ripe,
or oranges that your father wanted to sell to buy sugar,
then you can understand the man
who found it was time to put up this sign.
I do indeed! When I lived in the casita and left for a trip to the USA someone in my absence picked up all thefruit I have neer had a chance to try before and was awaiting expectantly. The locals call it "someone's bee shopping at your house". Shopping!
