The Watchtower and two apples

March 4, 2014

As a young boy with nonsense in his head I was once caught "scrumping", which means when you take apples from trees without permission. After picking two apples from a tree I escaped through a hedge only to find a policeman with his bicycle there waiting. He boxed my ears and confiscated the two apples. As I walked away crying I turned around only to see the policeman eating one of the apples. I went home and played "All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix. (Terence from the Netherlands)
