Si me atire plus sur elle si je le vois de loin, le premier chose que je fois c'est leurs dents parce que elle rit. Des jours et des mois et des mois elle m'invite pour une visite. Le soir que j'ai йtй chez elle, elle m'a reзu acquйrir bien. Ell m'a donner une plate, j'ai manger jusqu'a plein. J'ai pris ma main commencer а charesser elle, quand зa pиre est venu de dire: partez ma maison!   You, you are so beautiful. Your face is like a mirror. Your teeth are like the corn of gold, who-ever who loves you I will love, who-ever who does not love you, give it to me and I will love it. I need you in my body. What really takes me for her is when she laughs in the dark with her teeth white. For days and months on she invited me to bring her a visit. That evening I finally came to her place and she gave me a warm welcome. She burdened me with food and I ate till I was satisfied. I had taken my hand to start caressing her when her father entered the room and said to me to leave his house immediately.   Mola Sylla
