Fortune Tellers
A young couple entered the restaurant in Andy’s view. They were holding hands.
Andy sat back down in his chair. He felt sick. He turned and faced his father, who was
eating xôi.

“What’s the matter, son?” asked his father. “I thought you were going to the
birthday party.”

“It’s too late.”

“Are you sure?”

Andy nodded. He looked at the plate ofxôi. He wanted to bury his face in it.

“Hi, Andy.” A voice came from behind.

Andy looked up. He recognized the beautiful face, and he refused to meet her
eyes. “Hi, Jennifer,” muttered Andy, looking at the floor.

“You didn’t miss much, Andy. The party was dead. I was looking for you,
hoping you could give me a ride home. Then I met Tim, and he was bored like me. And
he said he’d take me home…. Andy, do you want to eat with us? I’ll introduce you to
Tim.”

Andy said, “No, I’m eating xôi with my father.”

“Well, I’ll see you in school then, okay?”

“Yeah.” And Andy watched her socks move away from his view.

Andy grabbed a chunk ofxôi. The rice and beans stuck to his fingernails. He
placed the chunk in his mouth and pulled it away from his fingers with his teeth. There
was a dry bitter taste. But nothing could be as bitter as he was, so he chewed some
more.

The bitterness faded as the xôi became softer in his mouth, but it was still
tasteless. He could hear the young couple talk and giggle. Their words and laughter and
the sounds of his own chewing mixed into a sticky mess. The words were bitter and the
laughter was tasteless, and once he began to understand this, he tasted the sweetness
ofxôi. Andy enjoyed swallowing the sticky mess down. Andy swallowed everything
down—sweetness and bitterness and nothingness and what he thought was love.

In front of the house there was a beach. Peter liked to stretch on the stand
when the sun was warming it. From the back door of the house he would walk along a
path as far as the sand, and stand at the water's edge looking at the sea. When nothing
very interesting was happening on the water, he would go down on his knees and take
a handful of sand. Through his fingers ran the stand until only small stones and shells
were le*. Then, with a large sweep of his arm and with as much strength as he could
muster, Peter would throw them away as far as he could.

At other times, he would go on his back and gaze up at the clouds, his
hands idly searching the sand at his sides. He never stopped playing with the sand and
feeling it run through his fingers, however much he was absorbed by the changes in the
clouds.

Occasionally some fishing boats came close enough to the beach for Peter to
see what the fishermen were doing. Then with his hands clasped he would look and
look, while his whole body moved with the boat from side to side. When the fishermen
drew in their nets or cast them into the water, Peter would do the same with an
imaginary net of his own from his place on the beach.

On this small beach, Peter had a world of his own.

Directions: Read the passage. Then answer the questions below. Encircle the letter of
the correct answer.
In the 1930s, why did author Zora Neale Hurston choose Eatonville, Florida, to be the
first source for her collection of folklore?

I was glad when somebody told me, “You may go and collect Negro folklore.” In a
way, it would not be a new experience for me. When I pitched headforemost into the
world
I landed in the crib of Negroism. It was fitting me like a tight chemise. I couldn't see it for
wearing it. It was only when I was off in college, away from my native surroundings, that
I
could stand off and look at my garment. Then I had to have the spy-glass of
anthropology to
look through.

I was asked where I wanted to work and I said, “Florida. It’s a place that draws
people—Negroes from every Southern state and some from the North and West.” So I
knew that it was possible for me to get a cross section of the Negro South in one state.
And
then I realized that I felt new myself, so it looked sensible for me to choose familiar
ground.

I started in Eatonville, Florida, because I knew that the town was full of material
and
that I could get it without causing any hurt or harm. As early as I could remember, it was
the habit of the men particularly to gather on the store porch in the evenings and swap
stories. Even the women would stop and break a breath with them at times. As a child
when I was sent down to the store, I'd drag out my leaving to hear more.

Folklore is not as easy to collect as it sounds. The ideal source is where there
are the
fewest outside influences, but these people are reluctant at times to reveal that which
the soul lives by. I knew that even I would have some hindrance among strangers. But
here in Eatonville I knew everybody was going to help me.
