[QUOTE=philmoore;365740]They insisted on giving us several, and would not accept payment. As my sister said, it was sort of like when we grow so many tomatoes or zucchinis in the summer, we are just glad to give them away.[/QUOTE]

Just to follow up on my breadfruit thief'ing story...

I learnt today that the man came back onto the property, and apologized to the owner for the trouble he had caused. He said that he actually did have to go to the hospital to be treated for several cracked ribs and internal bleeding (but surgery was not required). (While Barbados is backwards in many ways, even the penny-less receive medical attention if needed.)

The owner thanked him for his apology, and gave him several additional breadfruits he had brought down during his fall.

The gardener has agreed to use a tall ladder available to the compound to bring down additional ripe breadfruits every couple of weeks or so, and to make them available for free, since the owner doesn't use these herself.

Nice outcome! :smile:
