Experiential narrative

Barbados childhood story: in a family of ten children the ducks were kept alive on cheap fish, and before a Sunday dinner the cook cooped three and stuffed them for seven days with corn and sour milk; when she forgot, the ducks that came to table tasted of fish and could not be eaten. So man becomes what he feeds upon mentally, and must change his whole mental diet, not meditate in the morning and curse at noon.
